Knicks at Nuggets and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 106, Nuggets 104
Money line
The last time the Knicks were in town, they won 106-103 on November 16, 2022. I love what Brunson is doing right now and really hope he gets the legitimate MVP votes.
The Nuggets are 27-6 at home and healthy. But I love the value the Knicks are getting here. Let’s take a chance so Brunson can carry the team on his back and continue the perfect road trip.
Skinny Knicks +340.
Against the spread
As much as I like the value the Knicks have had on the ML, I’m infatuated with the fact that they’re getting 9.5 points here. They are 2-0-1 ATS on their road trip and have covered or pushed on the road in their last 10 games overall.
Take the HITS +9.5 (-110).
More less
These teams are 2 of the biggest snails in the league in terms of pace. The Nuggets have reached over 100 in their last 10 games, and the Knicks are 98+ in 8 out of 10. We’ll need more than that from the Knicks, but Brunson is here to make a statement in the frame of the MVP.
Take the OVER 207.5 (-110).
