Knicks at Nuggets and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 106, Nuggets 104
Moneyline
The last time the Knicks were in town, they won 106-103 Nov. 16, 2022. I love what Brunson is doing right now, and I really hope he gets the rightful MVP votes.
The Nuggets are 27-6 at home, and they’re healthy. But I absolutely love the value the Knicks are getting here. Let’s take a chance that Brunson can lug the team on his back and keep the perfect road trip going.
LEAN KNICKS +340.
Against the spread
While I love the value the Knicks got on the ML, I’m infatuated with them catching 9.5 points here. They’re 2-0-1 ATS on their road trip and have either covered or pushed on the road during their last 10 overall.
Take the KNICKS +9.5 (-110).
Over/Under
These teams are 2 of the biggest snails in the league in terms of pace. The Nuggets have hit 100+ in their last 10, and the Knicks are at 98+ in 8 of 10. We’ll need more than that from the Knicks, but Brunson is here to make a statement in the MVP picture.
Take the OVER 207.5 (-110).
