NBA - 619 New York Knicks @ 620 Denver Nuggets
Projected Line: 210 points
We have in here two teams with different styles and the truth is that both offenses will have a nice edge over the opposing defense tonight. Denver will have a super speed edge over the veteran Knicks, so Coach George Karl's plan for tonight is very simple: run as much as they can! The Nuggets are currently crushing their opponents in transitions and points in the paint, something that they will easily do tonight, as the Knicks only have Tyson Chandler to protect the paint. Besides that, the Knicks's veteran backcourt won't be able to stop the Nuggets's guards from penetrating and attacking off the dribble. Denver is a very confident team right now and that is making them also shoot very well from the perimeter!
The Knicks were humiliated at Golden State last Monday, with just 63 points scored. Therefore, it's normal that they will try to bounce back tonight by being more aggressive. The Knicks's offense depend almost exclusively from their ability to make 3pts shots and so, it's not a surprise that 25% of their plays are spot ups, while also having 15% of pick and roll ball handler plays. On this context, the Nuggets's defense is a great matchup for the Knicks, as they will face the worst spot up defense in the league! Besides that, Denver's pick and roll ball handler defense has been struggling lately by allowing 0.86 PPP since the All Star Break. Denver's defense is built to protect the rim, grab defensive rebounds and run fast. This is an excellent spot for a bounce back from the Knicks's offense, so I expect this contest to be a super high scoring game. Therefore, I'll be taking the Over in here.
