The current betting odds have the Nuggets listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nuggets have looked really good in their games this season with their 31-14 record overall which has them near the top of the West right now. They haven't looked as good in their road games this year but they are still a good road team with their 14-10 road record. Meanwhile, the Knicks have also looked really good in their games this season with their 27-17 record overall which has them surging up the standings in the East. They have looked great on their home court this season with their 14-5 home record and they have been rolling since making a trade for OG Anunoby. They have a lot of momentum on their side right now with 4 wins in a row too. As good as they have looked lately, they also haven't had a strong schedule and this is going to be a real test against the defending NBA champions. The Nuggets also have a lot of momentum themselves with 3 wins in a row now and a win streak that started in Boston when they handed the Celtics their 1st home loss of the season. The Knicks have looked really good lately but the Nuggets are still one of the best teams in the NBA and they are starting to roll now as they look to reclaim their number 1 seed in the West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game.

“We've been together for nine years and he's proven to be very trustworthy. I think we've won five challenges in a row and those can be game-changing type plays and I thought that late one was. So it works out in our favor.” Michael Malone on Nikola Jokic after his team’s win against the Pacers in their game on Tuesday.

“We just kept grinding. Obviously, they were pretty much beating us all game. They were playing well. They started the game pretty well. We couldn’t do anything about what we did in the past, we could only just be better going forward, and the best quarter was the fourth tonight.” - Jalen Brunson after their win against the Nets in their game on Tuesday.
