Analysis:

Free NBA pick for Monday from Doc’s Sports: Take New York +4 over Denver (9 p.m. EST, Monday November 25) We like to take a good team after a bad loss, and New York certainly fits the bill here. They had a hiccup on Saturday with a blowout loss at the lowly Jazz. Utah enjoyed very hot shooting from deep in that one, and it was kind of a bit fluky as it’s tough to beat any team that is hitting shots like that. So New York will be in bounce back mode today and they will be playing hard. Beating the Nuggets will put that loss in the rearview mirror. New York right now is the better team. Of course, the Nuggets will always get a top performance from their MVP, but the rest of the team has not been contributing in the ways we would expect. Denver is 9-6 on the season and 6-8-1 ATS. They have dropped three of five entering this matchup. The Knicks have won three of four meetings, and we think they will challenge for the win tonight. Read More Read Less
