The New York Knicks are in Denver for the next stop of their road trip. They are coming off a tough loss to Utah and hope to bounce back against Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets, but it won't be easy.

Denver came back to beat the Lakers on Saturday, 127-102. Jokić posted 34 points (12-of-20), 13 rebounds, and eight assists. The other four starters scored in double-digits, and so did Russell Westbrook off the bench. The former MVP finished with 14 points (6-of-10), 11 assists, and seven rebounds.

It will be challenging for the Knicks to contain Jokić, especially because New York will continue to be without Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa. The Knicks could be without their starting center, who struggled on Saturday against Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. Jericho Sims had a strong outing against the Jazz, and he could be New York's starting center on Monday.
