The #Nuggets are 2 of 24 on 3-pointers.
That's 8.3%.
Eight. Point. Three. Percent.
Pretty much guaranteed to lose on that number alone.

He's really gotten better at finding his spots.
The line moved from #Knicks -1.5 to #Nuggets -1.5 after Aaron Gordon got upgraded to questionable.
Always a great day in Nuggets Nation when Lakers fans in Ball Arena have to hang their heads, put their tails between their legs, and take that L on the way out.

This excerpt from Harrison Ford's interview was especially poignant and prescient:
As a complement to Harrison Ford's brilliant SAG-AFTRA Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech, his interview with Sean Astin is likewise profound and insightful:
