On Tuesday, I asked one simple question: can the Knicks get an easy, stress-free win? The answer was a resounding no as they struggled and barely came away with a victory against a Nets team that has simply been bad as of late. And it’s very unlikely that the Knicks can get one tonight as they host the defending champions, the Denver Nuggets. On paper, it does look like a reasonably even matchup.
The 31-14 Nuggets are 7-3 in their last 10 games and the 27-17 Knicks are 8-2 in their last 10 games, and both teams have been a bit more inconsistent and mediocre than their records suggest.
