NY vs Den Betting Prediction
The Denver Nuggets are the team to beat in the National Basketball Association. Despite NBA teams playing good basketball and thinking they can knock them off – until someone does in the postseason, the Nuggets are that team. New York is playing well, but the Knicks are capped off their potential until they get their squad back healthy.
The Knicks are going to play good defense and play wild in this game, but in the end, this is going to be too much Denver. We like the Denver Nuggets -8.5 over the New York Knicks in this game. Enjoy the game and best of luck with your NBA picks!
