Knicks, Nuggets Collide At MSG
The New York Knicks will host the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon.

The Knicks (11-11) are coming off a 119-115 loss against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Julius Randle was the best player for the Knicks and ended with 30 points and 12 rebounds while also adding six assists and two blocks, while both Alec Burks and Evan Fournier chipped in with 16 points -- Burks also posted seven boards, three assists and two steals, while Fournier racked up four steals. Immanuel Quickley had 15 points, and Derrick Rose chipped in with 16 points off the bench. The Knicks shot 51.2 percent from the field and a meager 34.6 percent from deep in this loss. New York has gone 5-7 at home this season.

The Nuggets (10-11) have been struggling on the road and own a 3-7 mark, but those woes can be explained by the fact that they’re been complicated by injuries all season long. Denver is coming off a 108-103 loss at the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. Monte Morris paced the Nuggets with 22 points, complementing them with two rebounds, two assists and one block. Nikola Jokic generated an 18-point, 15-rebound double-double that included seven assists and one steal. Aaron Gordon furnished 17 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Will Barton delivered 14 points, four rebounds and three assists. The Nuggets have gone 2-3 of late but have dropped three of their last four.
