On Monday evening, the New York Knicks will be in Denver to play the Nuggets.

Towns has played at an All-NBA level, averaging 26.1 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He’s shooting a career-high 45.8% on 3-pointers.”

The Knicks enter the evening as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 9-7 record in 16 games.

Towns finished the loss with 16 points, 16 rebounds, five assists and one block while shooting 6/19 from the field and 1/9 from the three-point range in 39 minutes of playing time.

Following Denver, the Knicks will visit the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday in Texas.

On the road, they are 4-5 in the nine games they have played away from Madison Square Garden.

As for the Nuggets, they are the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a 9-6 record in 15 games.
