Nuggets have yet to solve their defensive issues. Knicks open the game 5-of-8 from 3-point range, jump out to 19-14 lead.
Malone calls TO, then crumples up the stats sheet he was holding and whips it into the bench. Good times! – 9:21 PM

Alright, Denver’s gotta do a better job of being diligent at the three-point line defensively, but the offense is generating good shots. – 9:18 PM

Nuggets and Knicks are tied at 14 nearly five minutes into the game. Aaron Gordon (3-3 FG, 1-1 3PT) with seven of those points. Jokic with assists on three of Denver’s five buckets. Knicks start 4-7 from 3. – 9:18 PM

Without Robinson or Noel the Knicks turn to Taj Gibson to start against Jokic and he’s a strong and smart defender…I can’t do it. No matter who was playing, he’s still Jokic. – 9:08 PM

Not at the arena tonight, but I do plan on enjoying watching Nikola Jokić against the center-less Knicks on a back-to-back. – 8:42 PM

Frank Vogel says that Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) and Dwight Howard (back) are out against the Bucks. LeBron James will play, and Vogel hopes to play him less than the 40 minutes that James played against the Knicks. – 8:19 PM

Frank Vogel says LeBron is in, with a similar minutes plan against the Knicks (which was obviously abandoned with OT and such, but you get the point). Melo and Dwight are out. AK – 8:18 PM

Knicks don’t have Nerlens Noel and Mitchell Robinson (injuries) to face Nikola Jokic.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone: “We look to establish Nikola early anyways, but it’ll be even more of a heightened awareness for us tonight knowing they’re a little bit thin in their backcourt.” – 8:11 PM

Highlights from Michael Malone’s pregame media availability:
– The Nuggets coach would like to see DeMarcus Cousins return to the team at some point, but roster flexibility ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline seemed to be the priority.
– Austin Rivers will not play tonight. – 7:23 PM

Although it feels like a lot more, tonight will be only the 3rd time the Nets will be without all of their Big 3 (Durant, Harden, Irving).
They lost by 7 to Orlando here December 18, and by 6 to Denver here January 26. – 6:59 PM

The Nuggets have not signed DeMarcus Cousins yet. He is not on the roster for tonight’s game against the New York Knicks.
It can of course change going forward, but it will be very interesting to see how the Nuggets handle backup center. They’ve been rumored to want an upgrade. – 5:39 PM

Assuming the Beal injury eliminates the Wizards from playoff contention, the final two spots in the play-in tournament may come down to Hornets, Wizards and Knicks.
