Karl-Anthony Towns added 30 points and 18 rebounds and Josh Hart went for 11 points and 9 boards as the Knicks, the No. 3 seed in the East, improved to 26-14 and 3-4 in 2025. Cam Payne scored 18 off the bench.

Jokic is posting MVP-caliber numbers for the Denver Nuggets. He's averaging 31.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 9.9 assists per game while shooting 55 percent from the floor. However, with the Nuggets ranked fourth in the Western Conference, other players, such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, may now be ranked higher on the MVP ladder.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder’s MVP candidate, is an All-Star lock. Williams — who is second on the team in points and assists, third in rebounds and is a versatile cog in their top-ranked and historically disruptive defense — is their only other true candidate. That might be Williams’ simplest case.

The Knicks and Nuggets are surging, while the Warriors watch their window close. Meanwhile, the Cavs and Thunder have their business on lock.

Jalen Brunson gave fans an injury scare in third quarter but returned seemingly unhurt to the game. Karl-Anthony Towns added 30 points with 18 rebounds to the victory.

Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been named a starter in the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.
