Teams Preview

Murray made the go-ahead free throws with 31.8 seconds remaining, while Jokic sealed the win with two free throws with 6.1 seconds left after Utah's final three-point attempt fell short. Julian Strawther added 15 points and Jonas Valanciunas chipped in 13.
The Nuggets enter this matchup as one of the league's most efficient offensive teams, powered by Nikola Jokic who is averaging an extraordinary triple-double season with 29.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 11.0 assists per game. Their pick-and-roll execution and ball movement are second to none, ranked 1st in the league in scoring at 125.1 points per game.
The Nuggets on average score 125.1 points per game, shooting 51.1% from the field and ranked 1st in the league, and 40.2% from the arc ranked 1st in the league. The Nuggets grab 44.1 rebounds per game and are ranked 18th in the season.
New York Knicks Preview
In their last match against the Thunder, the Knicks lost by 3 points (100-103). Jalen Brunson had 16 points and a season-high 15 assists while Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 17 points and 17 rebounds. Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby missed tying 3-point attempts on the final possession as Oklahoma City won its fourth straight and snapped New York's three-game winning streak.
The Knicks come into this matchup with a strong recent head-to-head record against Denver, having won 4 of the last 5 encounters including a dramatic double-overtime thriller earlier this season. Offensively they are driven by Jalen Brunson's elite scoring and playmaking, with Karl-Anthony Towns providing a powerful interior presence.
However, their away form will be tested in Denver, where the altitude and crowd energy can affect visiting teams. The Knicks will need disciplined defense and consistent execution across all four quarters to come away with a result on the road.
The Knicks on average score 119.7 points per game, shooting 47.3% from the field and ranked 17th in the league, and 38.3% from the arc ranked 13th in the league. The Knicks grab 45.8 rebounds per game and are ranked 11th in the season.

DENVER NUGGETS vs NEW YORK KNICKS
Winning PredictionThe Denver Nuggets are favorites at home, bolstered by Nikola Jokic’s triple-double season and an offense that leads the league in scoring. While the Knicks proved they can topple Denver with a 2OT win just last month, repeating that success at altitude is a daunting task. If New York can maintain their composure under 4th-quarter pressure, they have a high probability of pulling off the upset.
