NBA: Denver Nuggets at New York Knicks Pick & Prediction

As the Denver Nuggets prepare to face off against the New York Knicks on January 29, 2025, at 7:30 PM EST at Madison Square Garden, basketball fans are in for an exciting matchup.

This will be the second of two matchups between these foes - in the first matchup, New York won in decisive fashion, 145-118, where OG Anunoby led the way with 40 points.

The Nuggets will look to reverse their fortunes this time around, as they've won 8 of their last 11.

This game has the potential for a lot of scoring as the Knicks and Nuggets rank 3rd and 4th, respectively, in scoring in the NBA. The total is set at 240 over at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The Knicks are the NBA's best team in limiting opponent rebounds, and that should come in handy against Denver's Nikola Jokic, who is 3rd in the NBA, averaging 13.1 rebounds per game.

The Knicks, led by two All-Star starters in Brunson and Anthony-Towns, have built plenty of depth on the perimeter with the likes of Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart to combat the high-octane offensive attack of Denver. Be sure to look out for the injury report before the game, as Hart is listed as questionable.

Despite Hart's unknown status, the Knicks have plenty of answers on the wing to throw at Jamal Murray, Russell Westbrook, and Christian Braun to limit their scoring opportunities.

PICK: KNICKS -3
