LiontipsNew York vs Denver. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
After a great start of the season New York's performance has declined. Seems like something is wrong with the team. There is no explanation to the New Yorkers' downfall. Tom Thibodeau's men lost 5 out of 6 most recent matches and dropped out of Eastern conference Top-10.
But team is not hopeless. In two most recent matches Knicks were not looking so bad. They lost to Brooklyn and Chicago by only a few points. They were beaten by the Nets with a 110:112 score and by Chicago with a 115:119 score.
Denver started to perform worse after Nikola Jokic got an injury. After that Mike Malone's men started to lose matches. But after the return of Serbian player this streak continued. Nuggets are still losing. For example, in the most recent match they were beaten by Orlando (103:108).
We should note that Nuggets are not looking so good on defense lately. Not too long ago Malone's men were performing better under the own rim, but in recent matches everything started to get worse. They let Portland to score 119 points and Milwaukee managed to score 120 points on Denver.

Tip and bets
Both teams are out of form now. It is hard to pick a favourite of the match. But Denver will probably have more chances for a victory in this match. Nikola Jokic is still one of the best players in the league. He will probably help other Nuggets' players to improve their performance. Knicks have no player, who can match Jokic.
We think that it will be a close game. In this case, we offer to place a bet with a higher odd.
Our prediction - Denver to win (Including OT)
Both clubs are not scoring many points in the current season. We are not expecting an improvement in this match.
Our second bet is on total under 213,5 points
