|
| | | OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: RUSSELL WESTBROOK can do whatever he wants inside the arc and will continue to be a shoot-first point guard . . . JAMES HARDEN will likely keep coming off the bench, but he'll also keep playing starter's minutes . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA is OKC's best perimeter defender. But his role won't become more prominent until the postseason . . . ERIC MAYNOR should be just about all the way back from his torn ACL. When healthy, he's one of the league's best backup point guards . . . DAEQUAN COOK will see limited minutes as a three-point specialist . . . REGGIE JACKSON's role will shrink to near nothing if Maynor is healthy. FORWARDS: KEVIN DURANT continues to do it all, and has done nothing but steadily improve each season . . . SERGE IBAKA is obviously an elite shot-blocker, but he continues to get lost in space. He's made some strides as a pick-and-roll defender, but that weakness is why he doesn't play 30 minutes per night . . . NICK COLLISON will continue to steal a lot of Ibaka's minutes because he defends the pick-and-roll better, and because he draws so many charges, he's almost as good in help situations . . . PERRY JONES III is an incredible athlete, but needs a year or two to learn the game . . . LAZAR HAYWARD is back as a 12th man. CENTERS: KENDRICK PERKINS will continue to start, but is a part-time player. The Thunder are often better with a small lineup. While Perkins is a bruiser he is too easy to exploit as a defender in space . . . COLE ALDRICH could be ready for a slightly bigger role off the bench . . . HASHEEM THABEET is a reclamation project. There's a sliver of long-term hope, but he won't help this year. | | 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. |

*Thunder-Nuggets Preview* =========================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Oklahoma City (32-8) at Denver (24-18), 8:00 p.m. EDT
A stunning performance by Kevin Durant caused Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle to call the Oklahoma City Thunder forward "the best shooter on the planet."
That's praise Russell Westbrook will likely never receive, but the point guard has been the Thunder's best shooter of late.
Durant and Westbrook will try to lead NBA-leading Oklahoma City to a seventh consecutive win and second over Denver in five days Sunday.
Named an All-Star starter the day before, Durant scored a career-high 52 points in a 117-114 overtime win over Dallas on Friday. He went 13 of 31 from the field, 5 of 9 from 3-point range and hit all 21 of his free throws.
Durant's previous high was 51 points in a 124-118 OT victory over Denver on Feb. 19. He's averaged 37.6 points and 52.9 percent shooting in the last five contests.
"It's more about the win for me," Durant said. "I was excited at the way we played ... We just kept fighting and we got a good win on the road."
The Thunder (32-8) have won four in a row away from home as they open a season-high six-game trip. They may have a good chance to extend that run with another big game from Durant along with one from Westbrook, who's shot 54.3 percent from the field while scoring 31 or more in each of the last three games.
Westbrook had 16 of his 32 points in the first quarter of a 117-97 home win over Denver (24-18) on Wednesday. Durant and Kevin Martin finished with 20 apiece to help the Thunder win for the sixth time in eight matchups with their Northwest Division rival.
The Nuggets figured they would rebound after Oklahoma City ended their six-game win streak, but they limp into this contest following a 112-108 loss to league-worst Washington on Friday.
Opening a stretch of eight of nine at Denver, the Nuggets fell for just the third time in 18 home games.
"Our defense never responded, our big men never responded and the personality of the game is very similar to (games against) Minnesota, Orlando, Cleveland, and Golden State (earlier this month)," coach George Karl said. "All those games had similar personalities of not having enough effort, not having enough serious basketball."
The Nuggets are among the league leaders in rebounds with 45.6 per game, but they were outrebounded by 11 against the Wizards.
Oklahoma City had 53 boards Friday with Serge Ibaka grabbing 14, including seven of the team's season high-tying 18 on the offensive end. Ibaka had five points, six rebounds and five blocks Wednesday after missing the previous two games with a chest contusion.
"He's going to continue to keep getting rebounds and keeping balls alive for us on the offensive glass," Durant told the Thunder's official website.
The Nuggets need that from rebounding leader Kenneth Faried, who has seen his average drop to 9.9 with eight total in the last two games.
Denver has 38 assists and 35 turnovers in those contests, with Ty Lawson giving the ball away a team-high nine times.
"We're definitely disappointed," Lawson told the Nuggets' official website Friday after scoring 27 of his 29 points after halftime. "... We have a film session to figure out the things we're doing wrong. Hopefully we have a good showing against OKC on Sunday."
