Michael Porter, Jr. 3+ Made Threes

There are a myriad of issues with this Knicks defense, but the most glaring weak spot has been on the perimeter where they've allowed 39% shooting from 3 to rank second-worst according to Cleaning the Glass.

• New York's wings are all talented defenders, but this matchup for Michael Porter, Jr. is only tough in theory.

The Knicks have allowed over three 3-pointers per game to opposing small forwards, ranking in the bottom seven of the NBA, and Porter has begun to pick things up from the arc after a week-long shooting slump.

The young sharpshooter is coming off an incredible performance against the Lakers here he went 10-for-15 from the field and 4-for-7 from dep, and considering he's still shooting over 40% from deep on 6.7 attempts per game, there's no reason to look past him here as we attempt to exploit New York's issues against opposing shooters.

As Aaron Gordon remains sidelined, too, Porter will continue playing as many minutes as he can handle with an increased role offensively.

Josh Hart 14+ Points

That injury to Gordon is wreaking havoc on Denver's already-worrisome interior defense, which has ranked 19th to begin this season in allowing nearly 68% shooting.

• That means it's once again time to fire up Josh Hart, who's begun to score the ball a lot more this year after filling up just about every other spot on the stat sheet other than the points column

Hart is averaging 14.3 points through 16 games, his second-highest output, while shooting a career-best 59.2% from the field. This is born out of a hyper-fixation on scoring at the rim, though his much-improved 36.2% shooting from 3 has helped him score at a higher rate as well.

Without Gordon to protect the rim alongside Nikola Jokic, and avoiding a tough matchup in the backcourt against Jamal Murray, Hart should have plenty of chances to keep scoring here.

Mikal Bridges 17+ Points

The other man who should benefit from this matchup is the guy who would have drawn the matchup against Gordon in Mikal Bridges, who will now be guarded by the inexperienced Peyton Watson.

• Bridges is coming off a dreadful game against the Jazz, but has still taken 14 or more shots from the field in the last six games and with plenty of volume should have the goods to rack up plenty of buckets against Denver.

The Nuggets have notably struggled to defend the corner 3 this year, ranking just 18th in the NBA, and while they've defended the mid-range acceptably they've allowed almost 30% of their opponents' looks to come from that area, a number which ranks ninth-highest.

Bridges is something of a one-trick pony, sitting in the top 20% of the league or higher in shot frequency from the mid-range and from 3 in the corner, so these specific trends are worth noting as we pick out who will score the ball on Monday night.
