The Denver Nuggets travel to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday to battle the New York Knicks. The Knicks are blazing hot with six straight wins. Denver is looking to bounce back after a loss to Oklahoma City.
The Knicks Are Rolling
New York is playing its best basketball right now. The Knicks crushed the Lakers 112-100 in their last game. Jalen Brunson ran the show with 13 assists. He makes everyone around him better. Karl-Anthony Towns grabbed 13 rebounds and controls the paint like a giant. He spreads the floor with his shooting and protects the rim. The Knicks play tough defense and move the ball with speed. They are dangerous at home with a 20-6 record.
Denver Faces a Challenge
The Nuggets lost to Oklahoma City despite strong play from their stars. Nikola Jokic remains the best player on the planet. He averages about 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists per game. Jokic sees the court like a master chess player. Jamal Murray struggled in the last game but can explode any night. He averages about 25 points and 7 assists.
Bad news for Denver: Aaron Gordon is out with an injury. He won't return until late February. Gordon's defense and energy will be missed.
What to Watch
Can Jokic's magic overcome the hot Knicks? Will Towns match up with the MVP? This game features two elite teams battling for playoff position.
