The past two games have been overly stressful ones for the Denver Nuggets. Ones where they somehow went down to the wire against a severely undermanned team wit

Nikola Jokic is coming off a big night in Philadelphia, and our NBA predictions expect a repeat performance tonight against the injury-riddled Hornets.

Coming in as underdogs, the Nuggets are a good bet here, considering they’re No. 7 in overall net rating, whereas the Knicks are No. 5. Denver is an excellent second-half team, showcasing the league’s second-best net rating, 8.8, after halftime, while having a net rating of just -0.6 in the first half.
