They are entering this game off of a loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder in their last game.

Jalen Brunson led the team in assists in that game with 7 while Julius Randle led the team in rebounds with 10.

The Nuggets are coming into this game with a 9-4 record overall and they are 4-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off of a win against the Chicago Bulls in their last game. Michael Porter Jr. led the team in points in that game with 31 while Jamal Murray was next on the team with 23 points. Nikola Jokić led the team in assists in that game with 14 while Bruce Brown Jr. led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 60% from the field, 48.1% from 3-point range, and 81% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 117.1 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 114.8 PPG against them. The Nuggets have an ATS record of 6-7 this season and their O/U record is 7-6.

The current betting odds have the Knicks listed as a 9.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Knicks are in a bad spot here as they are playing this game in the altitude of Denver and they are also on a back-to-back here, but the Knicks are not off to a great start this season and after the way things went for them last year, they cannot afford to be resting players on back-to-backs of even giving anything less than 100% in their games. The Knicks are trying to turn things around this season with some of the moves they made last year and in the offseason and even though they are in a bad spot here, they are catching the Nuggets in a bad spot too since they will be without their star player Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets still have a very good team without Jokic but he also controls a lot of the game for the Nuggets when he is on the court and this is a really big number to lay without him when the Knicks will be holding nothing back here trying to get as many wins as they can as they can't afford to lose any games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Knicks to cover the spread in this game.
