New York Knicks vs Denver Nuggets: Current situation
With this current 4-game win streak the Knicks have come within a game of the 2nd seeded Boston Celtics who are struggling a bit right now. Only Milwaukee and Indiana have a better record than New York over the past 10 games in the East, if this continues it won’t be too long until we see the Knicks as the 2nd seed. There is also good news on the injury front as Mitchell Robinson’s return from injury edges closer. The big man is expected back some time in early to mid February after recovering from an ankle injury.
Similarly to the Knicks, Denver hasn’t had (m)any injury issues so far this season. All of their big guns are currently healthy and available, for a veteran team like Denver’s that could be crucial as they attempt to claw their way back to the NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic is putting together yet another MVP type campaign, but with the Nuggets trailing the OKC Thunder by 9.5 games currently, it feels like the gap is just too big and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will run away with the MVP award this year.
New York Knicks Stats & Form
Don’t look now but the Knicks are on fire. They just scored 143 points for the 2nd game in a row as they took down the 2nd best team in the West the Memphis Grizzlies by 37 points at home. A total of 3 Knicks scored 20+ points, led by Mikal Bridges who had an efficient 28 and 6 assists. The win improves the Knicks to 5-1 SU over their last 6 games, they continue to be one of the most reliable home teams in the NBA at 16-8 SU in 24 games played.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
It hasn’t been an ideal start to their 5 games road trip, the Nuggets lost both to Minnesota and Chicago with very little resistance on the defensive end. In Monday’s loss at the United Center they wasted another triple-double effort from Nikola Jokic, the defense will have to pick up if they want to get anything out of Wednesday’s game. Despite the back-to-back defeats the Nuggets are still 8-3 ATS/SU over their last 11 games.
New York Knicks vs Denver Nuggets: Head-to-Head
Backing the Knicks over the past 5 meetings would have generated more winnings if you are a betting man. However if we look at the last 10 games head-to-head, Denver has the edge with 6 wins. Interestingly enough, the last 3 meetings have all been decided by more than 10 points with the two teams exchanging wins and losses.
New York Knicks – Denver Nuggets Odds
Going for a 4th win in a row for New York gets you odds of 8/11. If you like Nikola Jokic and co. to bounce back here, you can get odds of 15/8 for a road win.
The point total has been set at 235.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: New York Knicks vs Denver Nuggets (29.01.2025)
Defensively the Nuggets just haven’t been there over the past few games. After 2 games of 123 and 133 points allowed, they went into Chicago as double-digit favorites and allowed 129 points in a 8-point loss. Nikola Jokic did his best with 33 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, but even those type of numbers don’t guarantee you a win nowadays in the NBA. Up next are the New York Knicks who beat the Nuggets 145-118 in the first meeting back in late November. New York has scored 143 points in back-to-back wins over Sacramento and Memphis, sending out a clear message that they mean business ahead of Wednesday’s game. The Knicks have won 4 straight, there’s a reason why this team has two All-Stars in Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson. They’ve owned the head-to-head meetings with a 4-1 ATS/SU run over the past 5 games, so it’s understandable that the oddsmakers see them as the favorites here. Perimeter defense is something the Knicks still have to work on, but that shouldn’t be an issue against a Nuggets team that really isn’t all that lethal from three-point range. Over the past 3 games Denver is shooting just 31.3% from three, they make only 11.8 of them per game which is the 4th lowest mark in the entire league. If the Knicks can take away the three they’ll be in a good position here. We are rolling with the more in-form team, so let’s back the Knicks.
