KEY GAME INFORMATION
DENVER: BACKCOURT: PG Emmanuel Mudiay was kind of what everyone expected him to be last year: talented and productive but inconsistent and inefficient. If he can improve as much as SG Gary Harris did in his sophomore campaign last year, he'll be in good shape. SG Will Barton was a revelation as a sixth man last season, and he's a veteran in this backcourt at 25 years old. Rookie guards Jamal Murray and Malik Beasley enter with lots of potential. . . . FRONTCOURT: SF Danilo Gallinari did everything for the Nugs last year before getting injured after the All Star break. His health is a serial problem, but he's the team's leader if he's on the court. C Nikola Jokic is the complete package as a center, and C Jusuf Nurkic is a bully off the bench. PF Kenneth Faried's style of play isn't en vogue in a league that wants shooters at every position, but he dominates when he plays up to his ability. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The Nuggets are loaded with young talent, but they're developing almost all of it simultaneously. Wins shouldn't be a priority for a team this young, and Gallinari and Faried are frequent subjects of trade rumors.
CHARLOTTE: BACKCOURT: Considering his rise to national fame years ago at UConn and his tendency to make huge plays, it's a mystery as to why PG Kemba Walker remains one of the league's most underrated players. He averaged over 20 points per game last season and is ready to make the jump to All-Star status. SG Nicolas Batum is an above-average NBA player at pretty much every basketball skill, and he has a new $120 million contract to prove it. . . . FRONTCOURT: SF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is allegedly healthy this year. If it's true, he'll be a huge asset as one of the league's most physical and versatile outside defenders. PF Marvin Williams is a perfect 21st-century power forward, as his three-and-D-and-re(bound) skill set is hard to come by. PF Frank Kaminsky can also stretch the floor, but new starting center Roy Hibbert cannot. Hibbert is no longer good at basketball, but he is still tall. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The Hornets' young core got invaluable experience last season, participating in a tight Eastern Conference playoff chase and a first-round Game 7. Walker, Batum, Kidd-Gilchrist and Kaminsky should all have improved their games since last season.
PREVIEW
Nuggets still in playoff chase as they visit Hornets
 

Denver suffered a crushing blow to its playoff hopes when the red-hot Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 122-113 on Wednesday to take over sole possession of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with less than 10 games to go.

And to add insult to injury, the man most responsible for the loss was former Nugget Jusuf Nurkic, who was traded in February to Portland. He claimed the game wasn't personal, but it sure appeared as if it was just that, personal.

The 7-foot center scored a career-high 33 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked three shots as Portland claimed its 12th win in 15 outings.

Denver now stands one game back of the coveted final spot. And while every loss increases the odds against them, the Nuggets have yet to thrown in towel.

"It is definitely still attainable," Nuggets guard Gary Harris told the Denver Post of the postseason. "If we win out, who says (the Trail Blazers) can't drop a few games? They've got a tough schedule just like us. Anything can happen. We just have to keep fighting to the end."

While the Nuggets prepared and were waiting for Friday's game against Charlotte, the gap between them and eighth-place Portland grew as the Trail Blazers beat Houston 117-107 on Thursday night.

The Nuggets are now 1 1/2 games behind the Trail Blazers.

The Nuggets face a taller task and might look back at Wednesday's loss as perhaps one of the most important of the season. They still have six road games and only two home games against New Orleans (who beat Denver 115-90 on Sunday and Oklahoma City, a team led by triple-double machine, Russell Westbrook.

Meanwhile, Portland plays six of its eight games at home, with four coming against teams currently in the playoffs.

Understandably, the Nuggets are in a high-stress situation.

"I've been in the league a long time, and you expect the unexpected," Nuggets coach Michael Malone told the Post. "If we stop believing and letting go of the rope, it could get ugly. I didn't get that sense (Thursday). Our guys are disappointed that we had a bad home loss against New Orleans and a tough loss against a Portland team that is playing very well. We have an opportunity to get back on track."

That opportunity comes against the Hornets, who earlier in the season were squarely in the middle of the playoff pack in the East.

But a mid- to late-season swoon doomed Charlotte's hopes of making the playoffs. And at 34-41 and three games out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, the odds are stacked even further against the Hornets with only seven to play.

The Hornets have no margin for error and are going to need some help. All-Star guard Kemba Walker scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter at the Hornets staved off the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday to stay alive in the playoff race.

"We just stuck with the game, really," Walker told reporters after the game. "We made big plays, especially defensively, down the stretch."

And that's exactly what the Hornets will have to do if they're going to extend their season.

Friday's game will be special for the Plumlees -- Mason for Denver and Miles for Charlotte. The two could square off.

In addition, Walker needs one point to crack the 8,000 barrier.
