|
| |  | DENVER: GUARDS: TY LAWSON is turning into something of a one-man army as the roster around him crumbles. As good as he is as a quick playmaker who can knock down an open three, his supporting cast is lacking . . . EVAN FOURNIER is better than RANDY FOYE now, and he's certainly a bigger part of Denver's future. Fournier proved surprisingly ready for the NBA last season. While Foye brings more scoring power to a team that suddenly lacks offense, he's both inefficient and one-dimensional . . . NATE ROBINSON will provide instant offense and lead the second unit . . . ANDRE MILLER will lose a few minutes this year, but the 37-year-old still has good basketball left. FORWARDS: Coming off a late-season ACL tear, DANILO GALLINARI will be lucky to make it back by December . . . KENNETH FARIED will likely never develop into anything more than an energy guy and high-volume rebounder, but he's good at what he does . . . WILSON CHANDLER can shoot and defend multiple positions. With Gallinari a question mark, he could be in for a much bigger role this year . . . DARRELL ARTHUR is an interesting second-unit player. He's an athlete who was starting to show some skill in Memphis before getting hurt . . . Gunning wingman JORDAN HAMILTON may get a longer look in the second half of the season . . . QUINCY MILLER is likely ticketed for more D-League action . . . ANTHONY RANDOLPH is a lost cause. CENTERS: The time has arrived for JAVALE MCGEE. The front office wants him on the floor full-time. For all the knucklehead plays, he's still an incredible athlete in a massive 7-foot frame . . . Talk of J.J. HICKSON potentially starting is absurd. A brutal defender unable to play within the flow of an offense, he's a second-unit talent . . . TIMOFEY MOZGOV is Plan B behind McGee. The 7-footer can defend and set screens. | | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out. |

*Nuggets-76ers Preview* =======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Denver (11-7) at Philadelphia (7-12), 7:00 p.m. EDT
What once looked like an intriguing matchup featuring two of the game's most promising young point guards might not include either one of them.
Ty Lawson and Michael Carter-Williams could both be sidelined as the Denver Nuggets visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
Lawson left late in the third quarter of Denver's 106-98 loss at Boston on Friday with a left hamstring injury. It's not clear if the ailment will sideline him Saturday, which would be his first missed game this season.
Lawson's career-best 19.3 points per game not only leads the Nuggets (11-8), but it is one of the best marks among the league's point guards. He's also averaging a personal-best 8.2 assists and his 2.9 assist-to-turnover ratio is the highest he's posted in five NBA seasons.
Denver was 8-1 without him in 2012-13, though helping to neutralize his absence was the currently-injured Danilo Gallinari as well as Andre Iguodala and Corey Brewer, who now play for Golden State and Minnesota, respectively.
The 76ers (7-13) also couldn't overcome being without Carter-Williams on Friday, losing 105-88 in Charlotte while the rookie from Syracuse was sidelined by a sore right knee. He had played in the club's last seven games after missing four in a row in mid-November due to a bruised left foot. His status against the Nuggets is unclear.
Philadelphia is just 1-4 without Carter-Williams, whose 7.3 assists per game lead the team while his average of 17.7 points trails only Evan Turner.
Denver's season-long six game trip - Saturday marks the fifth stop - could easily end in a sour fashion without Lawson, particularly if Brian Shaw's club can't improve its first-quarter defense.
The Nuggets fell behind 14-0 against the Celtics, leading to a 39-15 deficit after 12 minutes. It marked the fourth straight game in which they've been outscored in the first quarter and the third time in that span that they've allowed at least 31 points in the first frame.
"Second consecutive game in a row that we basically got beat up, got hit first," Shaw said. "We told our team before the game started tonight that regardless of their record, they're going to come out and fight to stay in first place. And they did that."
Philadelphia would also like to shore up its defense in the early portion of games. They're allowing an NBA-worst 56.8 first-half points per contest.
The Bobcats scored 62 in the first 24 minutes Friday while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor while handing the Sixers their ninth loss in 11 games.
"We've got to start the game off better defensively," said Tony Wroten, who scored 21 points with nine assists and eight rebounds while starting at point guard. "We played better on defense in the second half, but we've just got to play defense like that for the whole 48 minutes."
Wroten is averaging 19.8 points and 6.2 assists over five starts in place of Carter-Williams, though he's just 2 of 18 from 3-point range in those games (11.1 percent). Carter-Williams is shooting 32.4 percent from long range.
Turner was limited to 17 points while committing nine turnovers as the teams split two meetings last season.
Spencer Hawes averaged 16.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 4.5 blocked shots while shooting 63.6 percent.
