Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs will surely have revenge on their minds, considering in each of the Knicks’ four series wins, San Antonio held double-digit leads.

Nuggets @ Warriors Spread: Nuggets -2.5Moneyline: Nuggets -135, Warriors +114O/U: 233.5 WHAT TO KNOW: A classic Western Conference showdown between Steph Curry’s Warriors and Nikola Jokić’s Nuggets.
