However, one should not be fooled. Despite the Nuggets being in playoff contention and the Knicks struggling mightily while being mired in the Melo and Phil drama, anything goes. If there is one similarity about these two squads, it is that both of them are very unpredictable and can either win big or lose big on any given night.
The Nuggets need to be careful as they will taking on a desperate New York team who is trying to get back on track. They may be coming off a loss, but the Knicks have been a disaster so far and this would be the perfect game for them to rebuild their confidence.

The Nuggets haven’t had the same home-court advantage since their last season in the playoffs, so New York does have a chance to beat the Nuggets in their home arena, especially with Carmelo going up against a depleted squad.
They must not overlook the New York Knicks. This has all the makings of a classic trap game that could catch the Nuggets off guard.
They must not lose focus and continue to fight for the final playoff spot. If they do lose to the struggling New York Knicks, then it will be difficult to take this squad serious going forward.
A playoff team makes sure to defeat the lesser teams that they go up against, and the Nuggets need to take care of business against the Knicks.
