New York Knicks vs Denver Nuggets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 6, 2026

New York routed Denver 142–103, a 39-point demolition that sent the combined total soaring to 245, well above the 230.5 market opening. The Knicks' dominance materialized primarily in the second and third quarters, when they outscored the Nuggets decisively: a 38–23 run in Q2 and a commanding 40–28 performance in Q3. Denver's offense, anchored by Nikola Jokić's 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, couldn't sustain the pace against New York's suffocating defense.

The game's texture shifted in the middle two quarters. After a competitive opening frame—56 combined points—the Knicks seized control. OG Anunoby led the charge with 34 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns anchored the interior with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Josh Hart chipped in 18 points off the bench. Denver's Jamal Murray managed just 12 points and 3 assists, and role players DaRon Holmes II (11 points) couldn't provide the secondary scoring Jokić needed. The Nuggets' recent form—averaging 120.7 points scored and 114.7 allowed per game—proved irrelevant against the Knicks' execution. DAGGER leaned under at the market total, and it missed decisively. The final 245 cleared the closing line of 229.5 by 15.5 points, a stunning offensive display that overshadowed Denver's last head-to-head win over New York, a 261-point affair just weeks prior.
