Denver Nuggets at New York Knicks
- Leg 1: Over 224.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 2: Nikola Jokic 43+ Points + Assists + Rebounds (-138)
- Leg 3: Karl-Anthony Towns 30+ Points + Rebounds (-151)
The Nuggets are finally getting healthy, just in time to make a charge in the second half of the season. They were able to stay afloat without Nikola Jokic in the lineup, but, most importantly, they remain in playoff contention. In Jokic's first game back, he was able to drop 31 points and helped Denver grab a 122-109 win against the red-hot Clippers. They are far stronger offensively with Jokic in the lineup. From the start of the season until his injury on December 29th, the Nuggets ranked first in scoring (125.7 points per game), but while he was out, they ranked 26th (108.8 points per game).
The Knicks will face a challenge against a full Nuggets roster, but they have been great lately, coming in on a seven-game winning streak. Their defense has been excellent during this time, allowing fewer than 100 points in three of those games, and opponents are shooting just 41% from the floor. They are getting contributions throughout the lineup with Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby leading the team in scoring over their last eight games.
If Jokic weren’t available, the Knicks could dominate this game, but now we might see an interesting matchup. Even with the Knicks’ defense improving lately, they could struggle against a full Nuggets roster and will need to keep pace offensively.

Boston Celtics at Houston Rockets
- Leg 1: Celtics +4.5 (-102)
- Leg 2: Derrick White 3+ Three-Pointers Made (-106)
- Leg 3: Over 214.5 Points (-110)
The Celtics made a significant move during the trade deadline, and they upgraded the front court with the addition of Nikola Vucevic, who is averaging 16.9 points and is 13th in the league with 9.3 rebounds per game. He's also a versatile big man who can shoot from the perimeter, especially from behind the arc, which is Boston's strength, as they are second in the league in three-point attempts per game (42.4). The ability to outshoot your opponent and a defense that's second in points allowed per game (109.1) are why, even without Jayson Tatum, they are a contender.
The Rockets recently went through a tough stretch, losing a season-high three straight games, but they have regained momentum, winning eight of their next 11. Their defense has been carrying them during this recent run, as the offense is just 21st in points scored per game (111.3) since January 16th, but their defense is fifth, allowing 107 points per game.
The Celtics are slightly better in both categories during that span, ranking 17th in points scored (113.2) and second in points allowed (103.7) per game. They could keep this game close, as they are 6-3 against the spread as an away underdog.
