Tonight, the Denver Nuggets (48-21) will meet the 41-27 New York Knicks at Ball Arena. It’s a clash of championship contenders. Denver is presently the West’s second seed and the overwhelming favorite to defend its championship from last summer. New York is the fourth seed in the East and hopes to go over their second-round performance last season. Neither team is complete, but one is far closer than the other!
According to the NBA’s most recent injury report, the Knicks will suffer the most crucial, ailment-related absences this evening. New York will play without forward OG Anunoby, who has had a setback with his surgically repaired right elbow, and All-Star Julius Randle, who has been sidelined since January 27th.
With a dislocated right shoulder. Center Mitchell Robinson has missed all but 21 games for the New York Knicks this season due to left ankle surgery, but he is allegedly gradually increasing his efforts in hopes of returning for the regular season.
Denver will be missing backup small forward Vlatko Cancar, who is still recovering from left knee surgery. Zeke Nnaji, the reserve power forward/center, is uncertain due to lower back injury. Collin Gillespie and Jay Huff, both two-way players, are away playing for the team’s NBAGL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Gold.
Two months ago, the Knicks defeated Denver 122-84. Tonight’s rematch, which will be their last regular-season encounter in 2023-24, will begin at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. It is accessible to view via
