The New York Knicks better be Caitlin Clark’s biggest fans. Thanks to her WNBA home opener being Thursday night in Indianapolis, the Knicks get an extra day of rest before facing the Indiana Pacers in Game 6. So we’re left with one NBA game on the schedule tomorrow. Here are my NBA picks for May 16th. Go here for the latest NBA odds

NBA Picks May 16th
Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Tipoff – 8:30 pm EST
Spread: Timberwolves -2
Total: 203
The reports of the Denver Nuggets’ death were greatly exaggerated. The defending NBA champions have stormed back in their Western Conference semifinal series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning three straight games. In the process, Nikola Jokic reminded everyone that he’s the world’s best basketball player, if any of us forgot that fact.
Yet, the Nuggets are dogs heading into tomorrow night in Minnesota. And they’re a dog I’m willing to grab, plus two points. With Mike Conley questionable for the Wolves, and the Nuggets rolling, I think the champs end this series on Thursday night and get themselves some time to rest before the next round. And I’m playing the over, as well – four of the five games this series have topped 203 points.
Best Bet: Nuggets +2 (-102); Nuggets/Timberwolves Over 203 (-110)
