The Denver Nuggets are coming off a win against the lowly Phoenix Suns on Saturday and are set to match up against the New York Knicks, a team that has one less loss than Denver’s most recent opponent. The Knicks have been without injured star Kristaps Porzingis all season as he recovers from a torn ACL that he suffered last February, and he’s definitely been missed. The Knicks are 1-9 in their last 10 games and they will be trying to snap a 7-game losing streak tonight against the Nuggets.
This game means the return of Emmanuel Mudiay, one-time face of the franchise for the Nuggets and now a player trying to find his home in New York.
