NBA Best Bet: Denver Nuggets +5 over New York Knicks

I like the Nuggets here. Denver is primed to cover the 5-point spread at Madison Square Garden because of their elite resilience. Boasting an impressive 12-5 ATS record as underdogs and an 11-6 ATS mark following a loss this season, Denver consistently thrives when facing adversity. Even more remarkably, the Nuggets’ 7-3 ATS record on no rest proves that fatigue rarely hampers their execution. Facing a surging Knicks squad, Denver’s ability to remain competitive in high-pressure road environments makes them a high-value play to keep the margin razor-thin or steal a win late. Final score projection: DENVER NUGGETS 118, NEW YORK KNICKS 116.

NBA Best Bet: Los Angeles Clippers +1.5 over Cleveland Cavaliers

I’d take the Clippers in this game. Los Angeles is primed to cover the 1.5-point spread due to their situational dominance at the Intuit Dome. Boasting a sharp 4-2 ATS record as home underdogs and a relentless 17-11 ATS mark on one day of rest this year, the Clippers excel when given a tight turnaround. Their 7-6 ATS record with a rest disadvantage further underscores their ability to play efficiently when fatigued. With Cleveland integrating new pieces and missing key interior depth, the Clippers’ cohesive defense and Kawhi Leonard’s leadership should be enough to secure the upset. Final score projection: LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 112, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 108.
