KEY GAME INFORMATION
DENVER: BACKCOURT: PG Emmanuel Mudiay was kind of what everyone expected him to be last year: talented and productive but inconsistent and inefficient. If he can improve as much as SG Gary Harris did in his sophomore campaign last year, he'll be in good shape. SG Will Barton was a revelation as a sixth man last season, and he's a veteran in this backcourt at 25 years old. Rookie guards Jamal Murray and Malik Beasley enter with lots of potential. . . . FRONTCOURT: SF Danilo Gallinari did everything for the Nugs last year before getting injured after the All Star break. His health is a serial problem, but he's the team's leader if he's on the court. C Nikola Jokic is the complete package as a center, and C Jusuf Nurkic is a bully off the bench. PF Kenneth Faried's style of play isn't en vogue in a league that wants shooters at every position, but he dominates when he plays up to his ability. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The Nuggets are loaded with young talent, but they're developing almost all of it simultaneously. Wins shouldn't be a priority for a team this young, and Gallinari and Faried are frequent subjects of trade rumors.
INDIANA: BACKCOURT: Swapping in PG Jeff Teague for George Hill at point guard is an offensive upgrade, considering Teague's 40% mark from three last year. SG Monta Ellis looked something close to washed up last year, but apparently put in serious work this offseason. SG Rodney Stuckey, his backup, will look to bounce back after a season in which he was heavily affected by injury. . . . FRONTCOURT: SF Paul George is as good of a centerpiece as any franchise could hope for, and there's a high ceiling on any team he's part of. PF Thad Young didn't get much attention in Brooklyn (or Philly before that), but will remind many of his ability now that he's back on a playoff team. C Myles Turner is one of the league's most exciting big men and is still only 20. C Al Jefferson should fit well as a post scorer off the bench. . . . BOTTOM LINE: It's hard to know what to expect out of a completely revamped Pacers squad. If new head coach Nate McMillan can fit the pieces together, there's more than enough talent for this team to land in the East's top four.
PREVIEW
Pacers, Nuggets jockeying for position in playoff races
 

INDIANAPOLIS -- Just three weeks remain in the NBA season, and the playoff races are heating up in both conferences. Two teams in the middle of each race will do battle Friday night as the Indiana Pacers host the Denver Nuggets.

The Pacers (36-35) are just one game behind the No. 5 seed Atlanta Hawks (37-34), but only a game and a half ahead of the Miami Heat (35-37) for the No. 8 seed in the East.

The Pacers are in the midst of a historic run, but not the kind of history they want to make. They have alternated wins and losses in 15 straight games, one shy of tying the NBA record, set by the Buffalo Braves in 1977-'78. They hope the trend will continue for one more night, because they lost in Boston on Wednesday by a final score of 109-100.

Paul George led the Pacers with 37 points and played the entire second half. "This was a very winnable game," George told the Indianapolis Star. "They took off at the end, but I thought I saw a fight in us that we haven't seen on the road in a while. Everybody at this point in the season is giving all they've got. It's just that point in the season where it's no excuses, no finger pointing. We're just not getting it done."

The Pacers have been a completely different team at home compared to the road. They're 25-10 on their home court, 11-25 on the road.

These teams played in London earlier this season, with the Nuggets dominating 140-112. Only the Golden State Warriors have scored more points in a game against the Pacers this season (142).

"They dominated that game," Nate McMillan told Pacers.com. "It left a sour taste, and it should have. They're a really good team and they proved that to us over in London. They can put points on the board, and we've got to be ready for that."

The Nuggets (34-37) are holding on to the final playoff spot in the Western Conference by one game over the Portland Trail Blazers, who defeated the Knicks on Thursday night.

Denver just defeated Cleveland 126-113 on Wednesday night. The Nuggets have won eight of their last 12 games and have continued scoring in bunches. The Nuggets have the fifth-best offense in the NBA and have scored over 100 points in 12 straight games.

Indiana native Gary Harris has played well recently. He has averaged 16.9 points per game in March, and he scored 21 in the win over Cleveland.

"It was the most important game of the season right now just because of the playoff race we are in," Harris told Altitude Sports. "We were able to get this one, so the next one is going to be just as important. When we go to Indiana, it's going to be just as important for us just to continue to get wins."

Glenn Robinson III is questionable for the Pacers with a sore left calf. For Denver, Darrell Arthur (left knee soreness) and Wilson Chandler (right groin contusion) are probable, while Danilo Gallinari (bone bruise) is listed as doubtful.

The Pacers are 28-15 all-time against the Nuggets in Indianapolis.
