Command Analysis
Current form
On March 6, Denver played a very convincing match against the Los Angeles Lakers and won 120-113 on the Ball Arena floor. It was a game played by an adult, confident team that perfectly understands its strengths. The Nuggets set the tone almost immediately: the first quarter ended with a score of 32:22, and then the hosts did not let go of the threads of the game. The Lakers tried several times to return to the match, especially after a long break, but Denver met each such breakthrough with cold calculation and precise decisions in attack. The main conductor, as expected, was Nikola Jokic. The Serb again played at the superstar level: 28 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists.
Jamal Murray was not far behind, with another 28 points and 7 assists. The Canadian defender regularly punished the opponent's defense with long-range shots and sharp passes. This victory allowed the Nuggets to improve the balance to 39-24 and stay in fifth place in the Western Conference, where the fight for positions remains incredibly tight.
Current form
The Knicks played at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 5 and lost 100-103 at Madison Square Garden. The match turned out to be nervous and very uneven. The first two quarters were reserved for the guests — 25:23 and 25:17. New Yorkers have been searching for their rhythm for a long time and went on a long break with a noticeable lag. But after a pause, the team seemed to wake up. The third quarter turned into a real assault: the Knicks won it 40:27, dramatically accelerated the game and almost returned the intrigue. It seemed that the turning point was near. However, in the end, the New York Knicks lacked a bit of precision and composure. Several possessions in a row ended in misses and losses, and the final assault did not bring the necessary points.
Jaylen Brunson was the brains of the attack again, with 16 points and an impressive 15 assists in just three losses. Karl-Anthony Towns had a powerful match under the shields: 17 points and 17 rebounds. OG Anunobi added 16 points and two blocked shots, while Josh Hart scored a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Despite the loss, the Knicks remain one of the best teams in the East. The balance of 40-23 allows them to confidently stay at the top of the table.

1.88Tip and bets
The Denver–New York match on March 7 looks like a confrontation between two high-quality, but very different teams in style. The Nuggets approach the game on a good emotional background after defeating the Lakers. Their attack works clearly and in a variety of ways, and the Jokic–Murray combination continues to be one of the most dangerous in the league. Especially in Denver, where the hosts traditionally play with a lot of confidence. Nyx is a team of character. They may concede during the meeting, but they are able to accelerate dramatically and turn the game around, as it was in the third quarter of the match with Thunder. At the same time, much of the New Yorkers' offense depends on Brunson's decisions and Towns' work on the shield. Given the current form, the home court and the stability of the leaders, it is logical to expect that the hosts will be able to gradually take control of the game and put the squeeze on the opponent.
Our prediction is that Denver will win in 2.00
