The Denver Nuggets play host to the New York Knicks at Ball Arena on Thursday evening.

The Nuggets (48-21) are coming off a win in their last outing and hope to stay on track as they return home for a one-game stand with the opportunity to add to their, 27-6, home record. Nikola Jokic continues to lead the way, averaging 26.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. Jamal Murray averages 20.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 0.9 steals, while Michael Porter is averaging 16.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The Nuggets average 114.7 points per game, and they limit opponents to an average of 110.2 points per game, which is seventh fewest in the league. Zeke Nnaji (back) is listed as questionable for action.

Meanwhile, the Knicks (41-27) have won four in a row and look to keep rolling as they face the fourth and final game of a road trip with the opportunity to improve on their, 19-14, road record. Unfortunately, they remain without two key players, as Julius Randle (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (elbow) will be sidelined. On the bright side, Jalen Brunson has been on fire, averaging 32.0 points, 3.4 rebounds 6.0 assists and 1.4 steals across the last five games. Miles McBride is coming off his best performance of the season, as he turned in 29 points on 9-for-13 shooting in the last game, and he is expected to pick up a second consecutive start. Josh Hart continues to provide high-level support across the board, averaging 11.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals over the last five games. The Knicks average 112.0 points per game, but they hold opponents to an average of 107.9 points per game, which is second fewest in the league.
