The Denver Nuggets face elimination once again Thursday night in Minneapolis, needing a victory to force a decisive Game 7 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nikola Jokic delivered a triple-double in Game 5 (27 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds) to extend the series, and the three-time MVP will need another stellar performance at Target Center. The Nuggets are 6.5-point favorites in the latest odds. Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) remain out for Minnesota, which hasn't finished a series since 2015.

The New York Knicks hold a 3-2 series lead and are 2.5-point favorites heading into Atlanta for Game 6 at State Farm Arena. After dropping two one-point games, New York dominated the last two contests by 16 and 29 points. OG Anunoby has recorded 26 or more combined points and rebounds in four of five games this series. The Knicks will look to close it out rather than risk a Game 7.

In the NHL, the Minnesota Wild are one win away from ending their nine-game playoff series losing streak, hosting the Dallas Stars in Game 6 at Grand Casino Arena. The Wild are -123 favorites on the money line. The lone MLB night game features the struggling Twins (lost 11 of 13) hosting the Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field, with the Blue Jays favored at -135.
