The New York Knicks and Miami Heat renew their old-school rivalry when the teams meet at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Jan. 27.
The surging Knicks boosted their winning streak to five games by routing the defending champion Nuggets, 122-84, on Thursday.
OG Anunoby scored 26 points — his highest total since joining the Knicks on Dec. 23 — and Jalen Brunson added 21 against the Nuggets, who suffered their worst loss of the season in their lone appearance at Madison Square Garden this season.
Brunson was snubbed in the All-Star voting despite leading the team in points (26.5) and assists (6.4). Brunson sat the whole fourth quarter against Denver, which helped snap a streak of five consecutive games with 30 or more points.
New York never trailed and shot 52.9 percent (45 of 85) from the field.
The Knicks have also won 11 of their last 13, and they leapfrogged the Cavaliers for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. New York has a 20-1 mark against teams under-.500.
The Heat are still in the playoff race, but they have lost five games in a row — their longest skid since dropping six in a row in March 2021.
Miami got walloped by first-place Boston, 143-110, on Thursday. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro each scored 19 points for Miami, while Jimmy Butler scored 17 for the Heat. Miami has struggled defensively and is allowing 110.5 points per game.
The Heat trailed by at least 24 points in three of its last five games — 37 at Toronto, 24 at Orlando and 34 against Boston.
