Denver is the second-highest scoring team in the NBA, averaging 120 points per game. The Nuggets are No. 2 in the league in field goal percentage and first in 3-point accuracy. They are also the third-best free-throw shooting team. Those statistics are all authentic now with Nikola Jokic healthy. This will be Jokic's fourth comeback since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for around a month. Jokic leads Denver with 29.3 points, 12 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game, while Jamal Murray is averaging 25.5 points per game. However, Denver ranks just 16th defensively. The Knicks just poured 132 points on the hapless Wizards on Tuesday. New York is the seventh-highest scoring team in the NBA at 117.9 points a game. That average goes up two more points when they play at Madison Square Garden, which is the case here. New York ranks third in 3-point percentage and is also third in offensive rebounding. Take the OVER.

Pro Picks
New York at Denver
New York had won four straight before losing 121-106 at Utah on Saturday as the Knicks had an off-shooting night, hitting just 39 percent and missing 34 of 51 3-point tries, while Utah shot 51 percent and hit 19 of 34 from beyond the arc. The Knicks may have been looking ahead to this game against the Nuggets, who have lost three of five, although they are in a likely letdown spot after a big victory over the Lakers on Saturday. Denver is just 3-5-1 ATS in its past nine games and 0-5 ATS in its past five Monday games. New York stayed UNDER against the Jazz even while allowing a high shooting percentage, but we can expect the Knicks to bounce back defensively as they allow 112.5 points per game while Denver allows 114.8 points. The Nuggets went UNDER against the Lakers by seven points. Take the points with the Knicks and the UNDER.
