Game Prediction

Let’s go Under the 229.5 points total as we think this number is unlikely to be reached in this NBA contest. The two teams could well end up falling short and -110 can be backed.

Our NBA handicappers study recent form and take injuries into account when assessing each matchup. Before delivering a verdict, we combine that insight with the latest stats to strengthen our analysis.

Key Knicks vs Nuggets stats:

  • The 229.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 7 Knicks games.
  • The 229.5 line hasn’t been covered in 9 of the last 10 Knicks games on the road.
  • The 229.5 line hasn’t been covered in 16 of the last 20 Knicks games.

Under 229.5 Probability

If you go by the top NBA sportsbooks, our pick has a 52.4% chance of delivering a return. Our analysts think there’s a stronger chance of success and calculate the probability to be 55-60%. It is therefore regarded as a value bet.
