Command Analysis
New York Knicks
USACurrent form
New York is going through one of the brightest periods of the season and continues to chase Boston in the standings. The team is among the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. It can be said that Tom Thibodeau has found his golden squad of players, with whom he has complete understanding.
The team confidently won the last four matches, beating Atlanta (119:110), Brooklyn (99:95), Sacramento (143:120) and Memphis (143:106). The game against the Kings and Grizzlies was especially impressive, where the Knicks' attack looked simply phenomenal. They are really hard to stop now, but the team has a meeting with an equally powerful opponent in Denver ahead.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mitchell Robinson will not play in the next match due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Knicks have won 3 of their last 5 head-to-head games.
Preliminary lineup: Hart - Anunoby, Towns - Brunson, Bridges.
Denver Nuggets
USACurrent form
Denver was in great shape not long ago, but two consecutive losses have thrown the team off track a bit. After four wins, the Nuggets couldn't handle Minnesota (104:133) and Chicago (121:129), losing important points. If the loss to the Bulls can still be called a fight, then against the Timberwolves the team simply fell apart.
It is worth noting that Nikola Jokic remains the main driving force of Denver, but his stability alone is not enough if his partners do not support him. Now Michael Malone team is forced to look for ways to restore form, because ahead is a very difficult trip to New York, where the Knicks are at the peak of their abilities.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vlatko Cancar and Daron Holmes will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Nuggets have 14 road wins this season, third best in the West.
Projected lineup: Porter Jr. - Brown, Jokic - Murray, Westbrook.
