|
| |  | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL has improved tremendously over the past two seasons. His physical skills are off the chart, and now he's significantly cut back on head-scratching mistakes . . . It appears that BRADLEY BEAL is becoming the perfect running mate for Wall in the short and the long term. He continues to develop off-the-dribble skills to go along with his shooting. His broken wrist is expected to fully heal by late November . . . ANDRE MILLER is in more of a mentor role in Washington. He's 38 and averaged less than 17 minutes per night last season . . . GLEN RICE JR. tore up Summer League, but it's unlikely the gunner will become an efficient scorer . . . GARRETT TEMPLE gives them a defense-first option off the bench, but his playing time will be minimal again. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE takes Trevor Ariza's spot at the 3. He'll have much more space to work in, not that he's ever needed it . . . The Wizards will likely play it safe with NENE HILARIO's minutes during the regular season again. They'll need him fresh for the playoffs, and they have enough frontcourt depth to do it . . . Back surgery is going to keep MARTELL WEBSTER out for a huge chunk of the season. He's a question mark even after he returns . . . After a lost rookie season, OTTO PORTER should be able to break into this rotation, especially with Webster out . . . KRIS HUMPHRIES will provide some rebounding and energy behind Nen' . . . It's incredible that DREW GOODEN is still employed. CENTERS: MARCIN GORTAT made beautiful pick-and-roll music with Wall last year. There's no reason that shouldn't continue. Gortat is a fringe All-Star . . . DeJUAN BLAIR can mix it up for 20 minutes per night, especially against smaller 5's. | | DENVER: GUARDS: TY LAWSON is the facilitator in Denver's up-tempo offense. Durability is a concern, as he missed 15-plus games for the third time in five career seasons during the 2013-14 campaign . . . ARRON AFFLALO is what the Nuggets need. He'll be a No. 3 scorer and, more importantly, gives them a big defensive upgrade . . . Denver can't afford to play RANDY FOYE so many minutes. He's a serviceable reserve, but they won't win games if he's playing 30-plus minutes . . . The Afflalo acquisition blocks him, but GARY HARRIS is tough-nosed on defense and a solid deep threat . . . NATE ROBINSON might unseat Foye for the sixth-man role by midseason, but first he'll have to work his way back from a torn ACL . . . Combo guard ERICK GREEN will pick up garbage-time minutes. FORWARDS: KENNETH FARIED is one of the few bright spots in Denver. He can't generate his own offense, but he's effective filling lanes and picking up garbage points in this system . . . If he's ever 100 percent healthy again, DANILO GALLINARI will be the go-to scorer on this team. But he's a question mark after missing all of last season with a torn ACL . . . WILSON CHANDLER won't be relied on as heavily this season, but he's going to get major minutes as a floor spacer who can play the 2-guard or either forward spot . . . Stretch-4 DARRELL ARTHUR is a solid rotation guy when he's shooting well, but he was laying bricks last season . . . QUINCY MILLER has intriguing athleticism, but remains a raw project . . . Even if he wasn't coming off a torn ACL, J.J. HICKSON would not make this rotation. CENTERS: TIMOFEY MOZGOV may have grabbed the lead in this center-by-committee group with his strong finish to last season . . . A stress fracture cost JaVALE McGEE his chance to secure a full-time role last season. The tantalizing, but consistently disappointing, big man should make the rotation, but has an uphill battle to earn minutes . . . JUSUF NURKIC is a high-upside project as a 7-footer with a legit NBA offensive skill set. |

*Wizards-Nuggets Preview* =========================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Washington (29-15) at Denver (18-25), 8:00 p.m. EDT
John Wall broke out of a brief shooting slump but couldn't keep the Washington Wizards from being plagued by another poor second half.
The Denver Nuggets remain stuck in their own offensive rut.
Both teams will try to avoid matching their longest losing streaks this season Sunday night in Denver.
The Wizards (29-15) lost 103-96 to Portland on Saturday, opening a four-game Western Conference trip. Wall scored 25 while going 10 of 17 with nine assists after he had been 15 for 41 in his previous three games.
Washington was outscored 58-41 in the second half, however, after being outscored 54-42 after halftime of Wednesday's 105-103 overtime loss to Oklahoma City. The Wizards have been outscored in the second half of each of their last nine losses, averaging a minus-12.8 scoring margin over the final 24 minutes of those games. They've also been outscored in the second half in 14 of their last 19 overall.
"In the third quarter they really started to make their shots and we didn't. It started to look a lot like the OKC game," Wall said. "We gave ourselves opportunities, we just didn't close out possessions."
Washington claimed a 54-43 second-half advantage in a 119-89 home win over Denver on Dec. 5, shooting 52.9 percent for the game. Kris Humphries led six Wizards in double figures with a season-high 20 points.
The Nuggets (18-25) are averaging 94.2 points on 40.9 percent shooting during a five-game losing streak. They were 6 of 21 from 3-point range in Friday's 100-99 home loss to Boston without Ty Lawson, who was arrested earlier in the day for allegedly driving under the influence. It's not clear if Lawson, who leads the team with 16.7 points and 9.9 assists per game, will play.
Jameer Nelson had 23 points while making his first start for Denver in Lawson's place, though he missed the potential winning jumper at the buzzer. He is averaging 15.0 points and shooting 46.3 percent in five games since joining the Nuggets after averaging 6.8 points on 34.3 percent shooting in 29 games for Dallas and Boston.
"I feel like we should have won regardless of all the circumstances surrounding this game, but you can feel better about a loss when you have that effort," coach Brian Shaw said.
The Nuggets, who dropped six straight from Nov. 1-12, are averaging a minus-8.4 second-half margin during their losing streak.
Denver appears to be getting healthier with JaVale McGee expected to return soon after missing 29 of the last 30 games with a strained left leg. He averaged 5.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and shot 58.0 percent in 14 games. Danilo Gallinari returned from a 15-game absence due to a torn meniscus but was limited to four points on 1-of-7 shooting.
The Nuggets, who have lost five of six against East opponents, have won nine of the last 11 matchups with Washington in Denver.
Paul Pierce, who was 3 of 4 from beyond the arc Saturday to become the fourth player with 2,000 3-pointers, is shooting 43.6 percent from deep on the road compared to 34.8 percent at home.
