Denver Nuggets (106,5 pts) - New York Knicks The Nuggets welcome at 03am tonight Knicks at Pepsi Center in Denver.
The Nuggets responded with two consecutive wins against the Blazers and the Thunder, who had a negative 1-4 run in December. Most positive though is the fact that Jokic in the last two reminds of last year's player who did what he wanted in the parquet and became part of the first all NBA 5 team. At the same time, in the last few games it is true that Mike Malone's team is trying to run more in the parquet, which when he does it plays better and wins more easily than the slow pace they used to have in Denver. The defense of the team is worth mentioning that it remains consistently good. 16-8 the overall record of '' pellets '' in the 4th position in the Western District.
On the Knicks' side now, a 2-win series under the guidance of service coach Mike Miller, against the Kings this time around, coming back from -15 with the 2nd unit performing extremely well. 6-20 the record for New York that now shares the easternmost position with the Haws and Cavs.
In the first meeting of the two rivals for this year's regular season, the Nuggets easily defeated the Knicks 129-92 at Maddison Square Garden.
To sum up, the Nuggets have no reason for the Kings to lose their Knicks, even their own matches. I think they'll get it tonight relatively easily with the -10,5 handicap being high, though not prohibitive to play. However, based on the most recent image of the hosts I would prefer the team over 106,5 to their points. 106,3 generally score per game, while in the last two they exceeded 110 in both and it is most likely that they will continue to play at a faster pace, with the defense of the guests of course not scaring.
