New York at Denver

Try as they might, the NY Knicks can't seem to turn the corner, and are still a player or two short of being a payoff caliber team again. They head to Denver tonight to take on the Nuggets - a team that appears to be a little closer to the playoffs at 24-23. The Knicks posted a 4-13 mark over their last 17 games, pushing this team out of the playoff picture. They have found some magic at the Garden where they are 15-9 on the season, but the road has been a nightmare where they are an ugly 6-18 on the season. The Knicks are out-scoring opponents by five points at home and being out-scored on the road by eight points per game - a huge 13-point swing in overall performance. The Nuggets have been an elite team at home at 17-6 where the altitude in Denver gives them a extra edge as well. Take Denver.
