|
| | | 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. | | DETROIT: GUARDS: RODNEY STUCKEY was hampered by nagging injuries a year ago. If he's healthy, he's the best offensive weapon they have . . . BRANDON KNIGHT is more of a combo guard running the point. He can shoot, but doesn't bring much else to the table . . . With Ben Gordon gone, WILL BYNUM has a chance to regain a significant role . . . The Pistons' two second-round picks have a chance to carve out big roles. KIM ENGLISH has a skill set similar to Gordon's, capable of heating up and scoring in bunches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON is more of a spot-up, catch-and-shoot threat only . . . Former No. 6 overall pick JONNY FLYNN agreed to a non-guaranteed contract in October, as he is no guarantee to even make this sorry roster. FORWARDS: TAYSHAUN PRINCE is still hanging on as the Pistons' best all-around player . . . JASON MAXIELL should be able to reclaim his starting spot early. He rebounds and takes up space . . . JONAS JEREBKO showed flashes but looked rusty in his first year back from an Achilles injury . . . 2011 2nd-rounder KYLE SINGLER has a good chance to step into the rotation after a solid year in Spain . . . COREY MAGGETTE was acquired in a Ben Gordon salary dump. He'll see limited minutes . . . AUSTIN DAYE regressed big-time last year. Unless he gets off to a hot start, he'll be on the outside looking in at the rotation . . . TERRENCE WILLIAMS is seeking a new lease on life, but could be too much of a head case to realize he's wasting his talent . . . The Pistons are counting down the days left on CHARLIE VILLANUEVA's contract (two years). CENTERS: GREG MONROE is a solid fit in Frank's system. He's not a great athlete, but he can score and move the ball on offense, as well as rebound . . . ANDRE DRUMMOND could one day be a perfect fit alongside Monroe.

*Nuggets-Pistons Preview* =========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
Denver (10-11) at Detroit (7-15), 7:30 p.m. EDT
The Denver Nuggets' road-heavy schedule has seemed to catch up with them as they continue to find different ways to squander leads.
That's not very encouraging for a team that hasn't had much success in Auburn Hills.
Denver hopes to avoid a sixth loss in seven road contests Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons, who have dropped five of their last seven overall.
The Nuggets (10-11) are in the midst of a five-game road trip, part of a stretch in which they'll play eight of nine away from home. They've played consecutive games in Denver only once this season and won't do so again until a three-game homestand Jan. 1-5.
Denver, which concludes its current trip at Minnesota on Wednesday, fell 112-106 at New York on Sunday despite leading by eight points one minute into the fourth quarter.
It has dropped five of its last six road games, blowing leads of at least eight points three times. The Nuggets committed 16 turnovers Friday and are averaging 16.9 giveaways on the road - 28th in the NBA.
"I tell the team all the time. I say, 'I don't mind losing to a good team, but we lose because we give them things,"' coach George Karl said. "We give them gifts."
Ty Lawson scored 23 points while Danilo Gallinari added 21 and nine rebounds Sunday. Andre Iguodala had 15 points but also finished with five turnovers.
"We are a young team," Gallinari said. "We have to practice end-of-game situations more. It is the beginning of the season so we will get better at that."
Denver didn't have much trouble holding a lead in its first meeting with the Pistons, as Iguodala finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds in a 109-97 home win Nov. 6 for its fifth straight victory in the series.
The Nuggets won the last road matchup 109-100 on Jan. 26, 2011, ending a dismal 14-game losing streak at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
Detroit will look to bounce back against Denver while also snapping out of its latest funk after falling 104-97 at Philadelphia on Monday.
Greg Monroe, who had 27 points and 10 boards versus the Nuggets last month, and Brandon Knight scored 22 points each for the Pistons (7-16), who shot only 39.5 percent.
"We had enough offense," coach Lawrence Frank said. "Unfortunately, we missed some timely baskets. Defensively, we've just got to be a little bit sharper."
Rodney Stuckey had 19 points but missed 9 of 14 from the field and Detroit was outscored by 10 in the second half.
"This is a no-excuse league," Frank said. "We put ourselves in that position and you've got to grind you way out of it. To our guys' credit, we kept on fighting and gave ourselves a chance. But the objective is to try to win that game and we came up short."
Knight had nine assists in the first meeting with Denver, but he went 1 for 6 from the field and committed four turnovers. He's been much better than that lately, averaging 24.3 points while hitting 10 of 15 attempts from 3-point range over his last three games.
