Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic believes the New York Knicks are reaching their peak. Jokic had high praises for the Knicks after he and the Nuggets were on the wrong end of a 122-112 decision at Madison Square Garden.

Nikola Jokic went for just 17 points, six rebounds and six assists, low marks for him as Denver fell short at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

Two years after he won an NBA title, Nikola Jokic views the surging New York Knicks as a “top-five candidate” to end their 52-year championship drought.
