|
| |  | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: MARCUS THORNTON is the only one guaranteed a consistent role on the perimeter . . . ISAIAH THOMAS was the story of the second half for the Kings. He can fill up the box score, but at 5-foot-9 (at best) he's too much of a defensive liability and not a point guard . . . AARON BROOKS is the most talented guard on this team. He's had attitude problems in the past, but he could, and should, lead this team . . . Now that he remained in Sacto, TYREKE EVANS will be playing off the ball at the three against his wishes . . . The Kings will keep on trying to unload JOHN SALMONS, who's not a useful NBA player . . . JIMMER FREDETTE should have a role off the bench, but his ball-handling is not where it has to be for an NBA point guard . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA's chance seems to have passed him by. FORWARDS: THOMAS ROBINSON should emerge as a starter early in his rookie year. He has his flaws on both ends of the floor, but he brings energy and doesn't need a lot of touches to get his points . . . Even if Robinson knocks him to the bench, JASON THOMPSON should play the five at times and see close to starter's minutes . . . JAMES JOHNSON should also play big minutes soon considering his ability to make positive contributions without a lot of touches . . . CHUCK HAYES should continue to play second-unit minutes as a glue guy . . . TRAVIS OUTLAW has regressed to the point that he's lucky to have a roster spot . . . TYLER HONEYCUTT has an intriguing skill set as a defensive-minded point forward, but he's likely ticketed for the D-League again. CENTERS: DeMARCUS COUSINS came on strong late last season. There's no doubt he has All-Star potential, but between his awful shot selection and occasional attitude problems, he just hasn't lived up to his potential. After Team USA passed on him this summer because of reported maturity problems, he might still not get it. | | 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. |

(CLARIFIES margin of defeat in Sacramento's skids versus Nuggets.)
*Kings-Nuggets Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Sacramento (25-44) at Denver (48-22), 9:00 p.m. EDT
Just when the Denver Nuggets' historic winning streak appeared to be coming to an end, Corey Brewer found a way to keep it going.
The Nuggets may not need similar late-game heroics against the visiting Sacramento Kings, who have the worst road record in the Western Conference.
Denver will try to extend its longest win streak since joining the NBA to 15 games and its home run to 17 as it takes on the Kings on Saturday night.
Trailing by five points with less than 10 seconds left on Thursday, Brewer made a 3-pointer before hitting three free throws with 2.1 seconds left to put the Nuggets ahead in a 101-100 victory over Philadelphia to keep the streak alive.
"To be honest, I didn't think we had any chance of winning," said Brewer, who finished with a career-high 29 points, sank 5 of 6 from 3-point range and added five steals.
Andre Miller, who filled in for injured leading scorer Ty Lawson, chipped in 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting and eight assists as Denver (48-22) improved to 31-3 at the Pepsi Center.
The Nuggets, who continue to put pressure on Northwest Division-leading Oklahoma City, look to keep rolling against a Sacramento team that is 6-29 on the road.
While the Kings have won three of four entering the contest, they've lost eight straight in Denver and 12 of 13 on the road overall.
Isaiah Thomas had a game-high 24 points and Tyreke Evans scored 19 of his 21 in the second half as Sacramento defeated Minnesota 101-98 on Thursday for its second straight win.
"Our offense has gotten a lot better, we're spacing the floor and playing more unselfish," Thomas said. "And we're really getting dialed in on defense. We've been able to turn our defense into our offense."
After dropping the first three meetings by an average of 20.0 points, the Kings (25-44) hope to avoid getting swept by the Nuggets for the second straight season.
Denver took both contests in Sacramento, 122-97 on Dec. 16 and 120-113 on March 5. The Nuggets, who have shot 44.6 percent from 3-point range and 53.7 percent overall in the three wins over the Kings, also cruised 121-93 at the Pepsi Center on Jan. 26.
Lawson has totaled 50 points on 19-of-31 shooting in the last two meetings, but is a game-time decision because of a bruised right heel.
Reserve forward Wilson Chandler will miss his second consecutive contest with a shoulder injury.
Danilo Gallinari has scored 18.3 points per game, hit 8 of 13 from 3-point range and all 15 of his free throws in the season series, but he's averaging just 11.9 points on 28.8 percent shooting in his last seven games overall.
They should be able to maintain that efficiency since the Kings have allowed an average of 115.9 points on 50.7 percent shooting in their last eight road contests.
Thomas has averaged 17.7 points against the Nuggets this season, while Marcus Thornton has scored 21.3 per game and shot 14 for 29 from 3-point range in his last four trips to Denver.
Though it hasn't translated into many victories, the Kings have averaged 108.2 points - 13.4 above their road season average - in their last five there.
Sacramento has lost by an average of 17.7 points during its overall skid to the Nuggets and by 16.5 points in its eight consecutive losses in Denver.
