DEN vs NYK Dream11

Nuggets vs Knicks Fantasy NBA: The Denver Nuggets will enter the game after losing to the Lakers despite a 32 points outburst by Nikola Jokic. On the other hand, the New York Knicks beat the Grizzlies rallying around a 28 points outing by Julius Randle. More information about DEN vs NYK Dream11 will be given here.

Nuggets’ season: Denver Nuggets lost Jamal Murray a few weeks ago due to an injury, but Michael Porter has become a major enforcer on the offensive end, filling Murray’s void to a substantial level. The play of Jokic has been commendable but the team also has some amazing players in Will Barton, Aaron Gordon, and Monte Morris. Nuggets are the 4th best team in the Western Conference and will be a formidable foe for any team during the Playoffs.

Knicks’ season: Expectations were low on Knicks for this season but the young squad has risen up in face of a premier season by Julius Randle and the growth of RJ Barrett. Derrick Rose has been a premier option off the bench and the tenacity of Knicks has given hiccups to even many well-built rosters too. Knicks have won 9 out of the last 10 games and are located at the 4th position in the NBA Standings for Eastern Conference.
