Denver Nuggets at New York Knicks
Knicks' depth and home court advantage overcome Nuggets' injury-depleted rotation in key matchup
The pick: New York Knicks -5 at −110 (FanDuel)
Won. Final: Denver Nuggets 127, New York Knicks 134.
The New York Knicks hold significant advantages in roster depth and home court against a Denver Nuggets team missing three key rotation players. While Nikola Jokic remains dominant, Denver's supporting cast is severely compromised with Aaron Gordon and Cameron Johnson out. New York's healthy backcourt of Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges should exploit Denver's perimeter defense, and Karl-Anthony Towns provides enough interior resistance to limit Jokic's supporting cast.
