Maybe a buy signal we've been waiting for with the Knicks, who have won four straight while hitting a big 143 points in each of the last two wins (vs. Sacto and Memphis). Mostly healthy for one of the few times this season, Tom Thibodeau had three 20+-point scorers in the Monday win vs. the Grizzlies, led by 28 points from Mikal Bridges, who has tapped a rich vein of form after netting 27 in the previous romp pasty the Kings. Thibodeau had four 20-point scorers in the romp past Sacto, led by OG Anunoby's 33 points. Meanwhile, Denver's lack of depth has been exposed in recent losses to the T-wolves and Bulls, who each ran the Nuggets ragged with their athleticism. Play Knicks

On the season the Denver Nuggets have avoided a three game losing streak. Tonight that will be put to the test as they come in on a multi-game losing streak, blown out by Minnesota and a poor loss to Chicago. Expect Denver to come out focused in what is also a revenge spot as Denver lost at home 145 to 118 to the Knicks in November. Grab the points with Denver

After beating the Kings by 23 points at home Saturday, the Knicks defeated the Grizzlies by 37 points at home Monday. They are 16-8 at home for the season. This is the third game of a five-game road trip for the Nuggets. They lost the first game to the Timberwolves, then suffered a loss to the Bulls on Monday. As this difficult road trip continues, look for them to suffer another loss at the hands of the Knicks.

The Knicks have scored 119 or more in 6 of last 8 and hit the 140 mark 3 times in that span. Nuggets defense is faltering lately but we know they can score in bunches. Opposing scorers get up to play in the Garden. Denver is over in 6 of last 7 games and 4-0 to over on totals 140 or higher (250, 255, 259 and 252 total points in those games). Nuggets are 15-2 over vs. the East! These teams produced 263 points at Denver in Nov. Knicks over in 5 of last 7 at home (4 of those games went over by 7 points or more), 22-15-1 over outside the division. The Joker and Jalen Brunson should put on quite the show.

The Denver Nuggets are looking for revenge after losing 145-118 at home on Thanksgiving in a nationally televised game. The New York Knicks have scored 143 points in each of their last two games and have a high-profile matchup against the LA Lakers on deck. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have lost two consecutive games but are undefeated in their previous four games after such defeats this season. Denver has faced the sixth most demanding schedule, while New York ranks twenty-sixth. I like the road dog.
