New York Knicks vs Denver Nuggets Betting Tips
Nikola Jokic has been on a tear this season, averaging 30.3 points per game. He has an over/under of 27.5 points and is favored to score at least 28 points. Take the odds, and bet on "The Joker" to continue her scoring streak. He has scored 30 points in his last four games.
Jamal Murray, meanwhile, isn't having the best season for the Nuggets but is still averaging 17.6 PPG. He's favored to go under 20.5 points, which isn't a bad bet to take. He has only scored 20 or more points three times in his last 10 games.
Jalen Brunson has an over/under of 27.5 points, which is higher than his current season average of 25.1. Brunson has been on a roll in his past three games but not good enough to warrant a wager for him to score at least 28 points.
Karl-Anthony Towns has settled in New York, averaging 26.1 PPG this season. Towns is favored to go over 26.5 points, which is surprising, as he has only scored 27 points or more twice in his last six games. Take the risk, and bet on KAT to score under 26.5.
New York Knicks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Denver Nuggets are slightly favored to beat the New York Knicks at home, as they are used to the altitude. The Knicks are in the midst of a road trip, so they're a bit fatigued. However, they are likely ready to bounce back after an embarrassing loss in Utah.
The prediction is a win for the Nuggets, with the Knicks covering the spread and the total going over.
