The Knicks, on the other hand, have been putting up a good fight this season, with their younger players stepping up to the challenge and making a name for themselves in the league. Star Julius Randle is averaging a double-double with 25.3 pts/10.3 rebs per game. They will be looking to upset the Nuggets and prove their worth as a team to be reckoned by continuing a new winning streak of their own.
Fans can expect an intense and thrilling game from both teams, with plenty of scoring opportunities and defensive plays. This will be a must-watch game for basketball fans everywhere. This could have huge implications across the playoff spectrum.
When you are a Nuggets squad that boasts MVP Nikola Jokic averaging a triple-double with a 24.7 pts/10 ast/11.9 rebs slash. Teammate Jamal Murray coming off his second double-double of the season versus the Detroit Pistons on Thursday was a boon. That should have the Nuggets primed to be at full-go in Madison Square Garden.

But you can’t rely on flipping the switch late against good teams the way they did against Detroit. So Saturday will go a long way in showing just how far the Nuggets have bounced back.
