A season of misery for the Knicks might have hit rock bottom in a 44-point loss to the Bucks. Coach David Fizdale even conceded his team didn't believe it could win. The good new is, New York's bi-weekly competitive outing should come Thursdau against a Denver club coming off a disappointing loss of its own against the Lakers. The Nuggets' modest offensive pace makes creating separation difficult, and Knicks leading scorer Marcus Morris is set to return after sitting out two games with a neck injury.

Going from playing the Lakers to the Knicks will be refreshing for the Nuggets, who had a 10-1 run prior to their two-game skid. Expect Nikola Jokic to bounce back bigtime and for Denver to win by double digits.
