The New York Knicks (32*-18) host the Denver Nuggets (33-18) tonight at Madison Square Garden. This game pits the second-place team in the East against the third-place team in the West for a potential playoff preview. Intrigued? During their current (\u2026not five\u2026not six\u2026) seven-game winning streak, New York has clamped down at both ends of the floor. Meanwhile, Denver\u2019s offense remains Grade A sushi, but their defense is imitation crab.<\/p>\n
Nikola Jokic is available for Denver after getting kicked in the oysters last night (they lost to Detroit), but Aaron Gordon is sidelined by a hamstring injury. The Knicks list Miles McBride (ankle) and Kevin McCullar, Jr. out, while Mitchell Robinson (ankle), Josh Hart (ankle), and Mohamed Diawara (ankle) are day-to-day. Bonita Applebum, it\u2019s an ankle epidemic!<\/p>\n
Game is at 7 PM on MSG Network and ESPN. This is Denver Stiffs.<\/a> Please do no post any large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal game streams in the comments. Be nice to one another.
