The Denver Nuggets have 50% of wins in this fluctuating start to the season at the end of another easy win, led by Nikola Jokic’s 22 points with 10 rebounds and 5 assists. After the victory in Philadelphia reduced to seven men, the Nuggets also beat the Knicks without ever risking anything in the second half, conceding less than 100 points for the first time this season.
The Knicks did not need another great Julius Randle (29 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists) to avoid the second knockout in a row, also due to the poor support provided by his teammates – none above 12 points with RJ Barrett from 4/13 . The hosts ended up 22 points down in the first half and never got up again, even sinking to -30 during the third quarter.
