Bobcats-Nuggets Preview

The Denver Nuggets have fared well since trading All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony. The Charlotte Bobcats might need a little more time to get settled after dealing Gerald Wallace.

The new-look Nuggets look to win their fifth straight at the Pepsi Center on Wednesday night when they face the Bobcats, whose only victory in Denver came four years ago.

Since trading Anthony and Chauncey Billups to New York in a blockbuster three-team deal Feb. 22, Denver (35-26) has won three of four to move into a fifth-place tie with New Orleans in the Western Conference.

Despite newcomer Danilo Gallinari sitting out with a fractured big toe that will likely keep him out at least a week, the Nuggets defeated Atlanta 100-90 on Monday with their fourth different lineup in as many games since the Anthony deal.

J.R. Smith scored a team-high 19 points off the bench, former Knick Wilson Chandler added 15 while Raymond Felton had 16 and seven assists in his best performance in three games since being acquired from New York.

"A lot of lineups can work," said Felton, who spent his first five seasons with the Bobcats before signing with the Knicks in July. "We've got a deep team. It will take (coach George Karl) a while, but I know coach is a great coach. ... He'll figure it out."

Bobcats coach Paul Silas is trying to do the same with his retooled lineup. With the team acquiring center Joel Przybilla, reserve forward Dante Cunningham and center Sean Marks from Portland on Thursday for Wallace, Charlotte (26-33) is looking to move on without its top rebounder and second-leading scorer.

Stephen Jackson has slid over to the forward spot in the two games since the trade, averaging 32.5 points, while Gerald Henderson has joined the starting backcourt alongside D.J. Augustin.

After defeating Sacramento 110-98 on Friday in their first game without Wallace, the Bobcats lost 100-86 at Orlando on Sunday to open a four-game trip. They missed a chance to move past Indiana for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

Przybilla, Cunningham and D.J. White, acquired Thursday in a deal that sent Nazr Mohammed to Oklahoma City, made their Bobcats debuts Sunday but combined for just six points off the bench.

"We missed a lot of personnel stuff," said Jackson, who had 35 points. "On defense (we) made a lot of mistakes. We've just got to come in tomorrow and get better. First game, can't take anything from it."

Playing in Denver might not be the best place for the Bobcats to get better results. Charlotte has dropped three straight at the Pepsi Center by an average of 12.6 points and five of six all-time, with the only win coming Jan. 29, 2007.

The Nuggets, who play seven of eight on the road following this matchup, last won five in a row at home during a season-best 10-game run from Nov. 5-Dec. 14.

Denver had its season-high seven-game winning streak snapped with a 100-98 loss at Charlotte on Dec. 7 that also temporarily prevented Karl from earning his 1,000th NBA coaching victory.

Nuggets rout Bobcats 120-80

Posted Mar 03 2011 12:42AM

DENVER (AP) The Denver Nuggets lost their star power when they traded away Carmelo Anthony. They still have plenty of scoring punch, though, and it's coming from just about every angle.

Wilson Chandler had 16 points to lead seven Denver players scoring in double figures and the Nuggets beat the Charlotte Bobcats 120-80 on Wednesday night for their biggest win of the season.

Nene, Chris Andersen, Ty Lawson and J.R. Smith had 14 points apiece for the Nuggets, who won for the fourth time in five games since completing the blockbuster trade that sent Anthony to the New York Knicks.

"I know the other team doesn't know how we're going to score because I don't know how we're going to score. But we do score. Nice problem," Nuggets coach George Karl said.

Charlotte's Stephen Jackson said it is evident that the Nuggets dealing of Anthony has changed the personality of the team.

"They're playing more open," Jackson said. "I think they have four or five guys on the court that are aggressive instead of waiting for 'Melo to shoot all the balls. They're playing with two point guards, so they're making plays and everybody is getting shots. They're not depending on one guy to score."

The 40-point margin of victory surpassed Denver's previous high this season, a 34-point win against on Phoenix on Jan. 11. Lawson also had 10 of the Nuggets' 34 assists for his first career double double.

"Were playing together and we're winning right now," Lawson said. "That's fun for everybody. There's no sticky hands out there. We're passing the ball, getting everybody involved. It feels a lot better when everybody is happy. The bigs are happy. The wings are happy. Everybody is touching the ball, and that's the way basketball should be played."

Matt Carroll led Charlotte with 19 points. D.J. Augustin added 13 points and Shaun Livingston had 12.

Arron Afflalo, the only Nugget to play in all 62 games, rolled his ankle driving to the basket in the first quarter but returned. With a little more than five minutes to go in the third quarter, Afflalo was fouled hard when Gerald Henderson barreled into him on another drive to the basket.

Karl had seen enough by then, and with the game well in hand, had Afflalo take the rest of the night off.

Trailing by 16 at the half, the Bobcats scored eight of the first 10 points in the third quarter, starting with a 20-foot jumper by Jackson, to cut the deficit to 64-54.

But the Nuggets answered with an 8-2 run, including successive dunks by Nene and Chandler to build their lead back to 72-56 with 6:56 left in the third quarter. When Andersen closed out Denver's third quarter scoring on a dunk off a pass from Smith, the Nuggets had built their lead to 91-67 going into the fourth quarter.

Charlotte was outscored 29-13 in the final period.

The Nuggets set the tone for the game early, leading by 18 points in the second quarter and going in front 62-46 at halftime. Chandler and Andersen each had 10 points in the first half.

NOTES: Bobcats GM Rod Higgins said they plan to re-sign F Dominic McGuire and will sign G Garrett Temple of the NBA Development League to a 10-day contract. C Sean Marks will be waived to make room on the 15-man roster. McGuire was let go last week after the Bobcats' two trades left them with 18 players. ... C Timofey Mozgov played the final 1:53 of the second quarter in his first action as a Nugget since being included in the three-team, 13-player trade that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York. Kosta Koufos, who also came to Denver in the trade, made his first appearance as a Nugget late in the fourth. ... Chandler has scored at least 10 points in each of his four games as a Nugget. ... Charlotte's Stephen Jackson was held to seven points after scoring at least 30 in his previous two games.
