Denver Nuggets vs New York Knicks Injury Report Revealed
USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks face off in a pivotal game for both teams tonight, and it's a game where Denver will have the health advantage.

The Nuggets have four players listed on their injury report: Vlatko Cancar, Collin Gillespie, Jay Huff, and Zeke Nnaji. Vlatko Cancar is out due to left knee surgery, Collin Gillespie is out due to a G League two-way, Jay Huff is out due to a G League two-way, and Zeke Nnaji is questionable due to low back pain. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets starting five lineup are all available against the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks have three players listed on their injury report: Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson. Julius Randle is out due to a dislocated right shoulder, OG Anunoby is out due to right elbow injury management, and Mitchell Robinson is out due to left ankle surgery. Despite missing three very important players, the Knicks still have Jalen Brunson listed as available against the Denver Nuggets.

A win for the Nuggets tonight will have them tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the first seed; a loss would put them just half a game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves for the third seed. On the other end, a win for the Knicks would put them just one game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third seed; a loss would have the Knicks tied with the Orlando Magic for the 5th seed.

The Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks face off at 9:00 p.m. EST tonight.
