KEY GAME INFORMATION
DENVER: GUARDS: TY LAWSON has emerged as the closest thing to a No. 1 option on this team, and despite his size, he's proven capable of playing full-time minutes. He'll continue to post big numbers in an up-tempo system that suits him perfectly . . . ANDRE MILLER will both back up Lawson and share the court with him at times (though Andre Iguodala figures to play a lot of two this season). The steady veteran is one of the league's most underrated sixth men . . . It's a bit surprising that EVAN FOURNIER is making the jump to the NBA this year. His size and skill combo will be nice on the wing one day, but he's unlikely to contribute this year . . . JULYAN STONE will be out until January after offseason hip surgery, but he should be Lawson's main backup upon his return. FORWARDS: DANILO GALLINARI is their most complete offensive player. If healthy, he's capable of being a 20-PPG scorer . . . ANDRE IGUODALA should enjoy the much faster pace Denver plays at. He'll see full-time minutes between both wing spots . . . KENNETH FARIED isn't a skilled big, but he's a high-energy guy who can get his own points off offensive rebounds . . . WILSON CHANDLER could end up leading their second unit in minutes and points . . . COREY BREWER is a front office favorite. He'll stay in the rotation as a defensive presence/glue guy . . . JORDAN HAMILTON could break into the rotation. He's one-dimensional, but has the offensive skills . . . Denver will try to solve the ANTHONY RANDOLPH riddle. Don't expect it to happen this year. CENTERS: Denver is all-in on internet punchline JaVALE McGEE. They'll give the athletic 7-footer every chance to become the star they think he can be. Whether the flaky McGee can capitalize is questionable . . . TIMOFEY MOZGOV is one of the NBA's best screeners, but his touches will be limited . . . KOSTA KOUFOS has quietly developed into a usable rotation player, but he might be squeezed out of minutes.
CHICAGO: GUARDS: The best guess on DERRICK ROSE is a February return. But an ACL injury usually isn't 100 percent until the second full year back . . . With Rose out, KIRK HINRICH figures to play heavy minutes early. He's a defensive specialist who will pass and watch on offense . . . NATE ROBINSON could push Hinrich for minutes. He's the offensive half of that platoon, but Thibodeau almost always leans defense . . . RICHARD HAMILTON will carry a bigger offensive load while Rose is recovering. He's a shadow of his former self . . . MARCO BELINELLI is a nice addition. He's solid defensively, and he brings the long-range shooting Chicago lacks. Don't be surprised if he pushes Hamilton . . . Rookie MARQUIS TEAGUE will mostly sit and watch this year. FORWARDS: After avoiding wrist surgery, LUOL DENG should be Chicago's top scorer while Rose is out. He's the only one on this team who even has a chance to generate his own offense . . . CARLOS BOOZER continues to be a major disappointment. In the past it's been his atrocious defense, but now he's taken a step back offensively as well. He may score more with Rose out, but he'll continue to sit late in close games . . . TAJ GIBSON should be in for a bigger role. With Omer Asik gone, he's one of only two defensively capable bigs on this roster . . . VLADIMIR RADMANOVIC will try to replace some of the three-point shooting they lost when Kyle Korver left . . . JIMMY BUTLER has a puncher's chance at a rotation spot after a good summer. CENTERS: JOAKIM NOAH was still working his way back from that badly sprained ankle this summer. His durability is questionable, but the Bulls will have to lean on Noah for more minutes now that Omer Asik is gone . . . NAZR MOHAMMED steps into Asik's role as Noah's backup. But while Asik was an active defender, Mohammed is more of just a big body with six fouls to give.

*Nuggets-Bulls Preview* =======================

By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer

Denver (45-22) at Chicago (36-29), 8:00 p.m. EDT

The Denver Nuggets are on the verge of matching their longest win streak since leaving the ABA but have not visited an opponent with a winning record during this run.

That's what they face if they want to keep it going Monday night, taking on a short-handed Chicago Bulls team looking to tie its longest home winning streak of the season.

Denver (45-22) has won 12 in a row only once - March 10-April 2, 1982 - since joining the NBA for the 1976-77 season. The Nuggets' best ABA win streak was 15 games in 1969-70.

Their current run reached 11 on Friday, scoring nine of the final 11 points in an 87-80 win over visiting Memphis. Kosta Koufos led the way with 18 points and a career-high 16 rebounds.

Denver outscored the Grizzlies 29-14 in the fourth quarter to move into a virtual tie with them for fourth place in the Western Conference.

"You grow playing these kinds of games," said Danilo Gallinari, who had 15 points and made the tiebreaking free throws with 2:13 remaining. "You cannot grow a lot when you're blowing out a team by 20 or 30. These are the kind of games that make you improve as a team."

The Nuggets have won by an average of 12.3 points during the streak and blew out their next opponent not long before starting the run. Former DePaul standout Wilson Chandler scored 24 points and Kenneth Faried added 21 with 12 rebounds in a 128-96 rout of the Bulls on Feb. 7 at the Pepsi Center.

Denver, though, has played only four road games during this win streak and they were all against sub-.500 competition. The Nuggets haven't won on the road against a team with a winning record since beating Houston on Jan. 23. They're 15-19 away from home overall with only six victories over teams that are currently .500 or better.

They may have a good chance for another such win considering the Bulls (36-29) remain banged-up. They're still awaiting superstar Derrick Rose's return from knee surgery, and they've also been playing without forward Taj Gibson (knee) as well as veteran guards Richard Hamilton (back) and Kirk Hinrich (foot).

The Bulls had lost four of five without them before defeating Golden State 113-95 on Friday. Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Nate Robinson each scored 20 or more points for Chicago, which shot 51.8 percent after being held under 39.0 for four straight games.

"I do know we have pride," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We've taken a hit. We've lost some guys along the way. Our guys will battle. We know that we're short-handed. But if we have the right intensity and we do it collectively, we have a chance. And we've shown it throughout the year."

Thibodeau's team has won three straight home games, its longest win streak at the Untied Center this season other than a four-game run Jan. 21-28. The last two victories came over above-.500 teams Brooklyn and Utah.

Denver has won three straight in the series as Ty Lawson has averaged 20.0 points, including 27 in a 108-91 victory in Chicago on March 26.

Koufos has reached double figures in rebounds in a season-high three straight games and now battles Joakim Noah, who has averaged 13.3 boards over his last eight.
