Prediction
Nuggets 110, Knicks 98
Moneyline (ML)
The Nuggets have won seven of their last 10 games and are 5-2 on the road this season. The Knicks are only 3-8 at home. Denver has lost two games in a row but New York has lost seven straight. Denver is a chalky -358 Thursday night, but there’s very little risk. Back DENVER with confidence.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Denver to win outright would profit $2.79.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Nuggets are 3-3-1 and come in 1.1 points per game below the cover line. New York is 5-6 at home against the spread and comes in 3.5 points per game below the cover line.
The line opened at 8.5 points. Slight lean toward DENVER (-8.5, -106) to win by nine or more points. It delivers a $9.43 profit on a $10 wager.
Over/Under (O/U)
The projected total is set at 202.5 (Over: -115, Under: -106). Denver averages 106.1 points per game and New York allows 110.4 per contest. These are two of the lowest-paced teams, with Denver ranked 29th at 97.7 possessions per game and New York 26th at 98.1. Take the OVER (-115) with a small wager.
