New York Knicks vs. Denver Nuggets Betting Prediction
The New York Knicks have been very inconsistent to begin the season. They will, however, benefit from facing a Denver Nuggets team that will be without back-to-back NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets could be without several other rotation pieces as well. Expect New York to take advantage by handing a depleted Denver squad their first home loss of the season.
Prediction: New York Knicks ML (+130)
