New York’s homestand continues as they prepare to take on Denver at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 4 at Madison Square Garden. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

It was close but no cigar for the Knicks as they fell 119-115 to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. A silver lining for New York was the play of power forward Julius Randle, who dropped a double-double on 30 points and 12 boards in addition to six dimes.

Meanwhile, Denver was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 108-103 to the Orlando Magic. Denver was up 63-47 at the end of the half but couldn’t hold on to the lead. The top scorer for the Nuggets was point guard Monte Morris (22 points).

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Knicks are expected to win a tight contest. At 4-8 against the spread at home, they are no cash cow. That said, Denver isn’t so hot on the road, where they are 3-7.
