Game 47 : Denver Nuggets (28-18) @ New York Knicks (31-16)

The Knicks are the TOP3 team in the East for a reason.
Again and again, Malone makes ridiculous *punishments* (he punishes Nuggets not Jokic!) of Jokic because of two early fouls, so he played barely 10 minutes in 1st half. Of course, Jokic finished the game with 3 fouls overall and underperformed in the 4th quarter because he played almost the whole 2nd half (still played over 5 minutes less than usual).
Add to that fact that Malone striped C.Braun from the starter's role after his brilliant 28-5-4 previous game (FG 11-15!)...
