Money line (ML)
The Nuggets (-275) face a quick turnaround after winning in Philadelphia Saturday afternoon. They took advantage of a shorthanded 76ers side, but will struggle against the KNICKS (+220) and their lockdown defense. New York is a tremendous value on its home floor against a Denver team with tired legs.
Against the spread (ATS)
The KNICKS +6.5 (-110) are a great value at home catching more than three baskets, if you’re not feeling them straight-up. The Nuggets failed to cover in Philly, slipping to just 1-5 ATS across the past six games overall, and they’re just 2-5 ATS across the past seven as a road favorite.
