The Denver Nuggets are once again in a tight race for the final playoff spot in the West like they were last season. With the Clippers faltering the other night, Denver finds themselves in the eighth spot once again.
The Nuggets have to treat every game from here on out as a must win and this game against the Knicks will be no different. The Nuggets are coming off a win the other night where they got a must win over the Trail Blazers where they won 104-101 thanks to a career night from Jamal Murray.
The Knicks have been trying to claw their way back into the Eastern Conference picture while they sit at the 10th seed in the East.
