  • New York Knicks won 134-127 in double overtime when the teams last met on February 4

New York Knicks Form

New York head to Denver on the back of a defeat, but having been in strong form since late January with 15 wins in their last 20 games.

The Knicks began this sequence with an eight-game win streak between late January and early February, which was eventually ended by a 118-80 loss in Detroit.

They then rebounded by sandwiching a 137-134 loss to Indiana with road wins at Boston, 111-89, and Philadelphia, 138-89, before answering a 126-111 loss to Detroit with wins over Houston at home, 108-106, and Chicago on the road, 105-99.

New York failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 109-94 in Cleveland, but they rebounded quickly to beat Milwaukee 127-98, San Antonio 114-89 and Toronto 111-95.

The Knicks missed out on a fourth consecutive victory though, as they were beaten 103-100 by Oklahoma City last time out.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver enter this matchup having strung together wins for the first time since late January, but having won just six of their 14 games since the start of February.

The Nuggets began last month by following up a 121-111 home defeat to Oklahoma City with road losses at the hands of Detroit, 124-121, and New York, 134-127.

They avoided a fourth straight loss with a 136-120 win in Chicago, and then answered a 119-117 loss at home to Cleveland with a 122-116 victory over Memphis.

Denver failed to back that up as they lost 115-114 at the LA Clippers, but they did rebound with a 157-103 blowout of Portland, before replying to a 128-117 defeat at Golden State with a 103-84 rout of Boston.

The Nuggets were again unable to back up a win, losing 127-121 to Oklahoma City and 117-108 to Minnesota, but they have finally strung together victories this week, beating Utah 128-125 and the Los Angeles Lakers 120-113.

Verdict

Denver welcome back some important pieces for this game, but New York are the team in better form and they have been piling up wins on the road.

They have also won six of the previous seven meetings with the Nuggets, so we are backing the Knicks to deliver tonight.
