- OG Anunoby is out again for the Knicks, which really limits this team offensively and defensively.
- New York doesn’t have a good answer for Nikola Jokic right now (not that any team does) with Mitchell Robinson also out due to injury.

Thursday’s Knicks vs Nuggets game should be a lopsided one, as the Nuggets should win and cover the spread as big favorites at home. Denver will take advantage of the absence of OG Anunoby in this game, as the Knicks forward is out once again, this time due to an elbow ailment. Without one of their top defenders, the Knicks will struggle to contain the defending champs, who will win this one by double-digits.
