KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
NEW ORLEANS: GUARDS: He's set to return from shin surgery, and the Pelicans need JRUE HOLIDAY to rescue this backcourt. He'll play as many minutes as he can handle . . . ERIC GORDON seems to be playing at half-speed. While his defense is atrocious, he's still an efficient scorer . . . Sixth man TYREKE EVANS will play solid minutes. He has the aggressiveness of an alpha, but he never developed a complete offensive game . . . The Pels seem just about done with AUSTIN RIVERS. He's still overmatched . . . RUSS SMITH could have a future as a scoring sixth man. He'll need injuries in front of him to crack this rotation . . . JIMMER FREDETTE can shoot, but can't stay on the court as arguably the league's biggest defensive liability. FORWARDS: The lone bright spot on this team, ANTHONY DAVIS is a bona fide star. He has improved defensively in space and as a rim protector, and his offensive game is coming along nicely . . . RYAN ANDERSON returns after missing most of last season with a back injury, which could potentially linger. If healthy, he'll play big minutes as a much-needed floor spacer . . . JOHN SALMONS will look to earn a rotation spot after being scooped up off waivers . . . After a few decent moments late last season, LUKE BABBITT will try to reinvent himself as a stretch-4. Unfortunately, he still can't guard anyone . . . DARIUS MILLER is still hanging around as a practice player. CENTERS: OMER ASIK provides a bodyguard for Anthony Davis. He'll also help clean up the many mistakes of this horrendous perimeter defense . . . ALEXIS AJINCA did enough late last season to warrant a look as the Pelicans No. 2 center . . . JEFF WITHEY can protect the rim, and might be able to carve out a role in his second season in head coach Monty Williams' system.

*Nuggets-Pelicans Preview* ==========================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Denver (18-27) at New Orleans (24-21), 8:00 p.m. EDT

Anthony Davis credits the New Orleans Pelicans' longest winning streak of the season to the simple fact that everyone is having fun.

The miserable Denver Nuggets surely would like to knock them down a peg.

New Orleans seeks a fifth consecutive victory while dealing visiting Denver an eighth straight defeat Wednesday night.

The Pelicans (24-21) began their streak when Davis returned after missing three games with a sprained toe, in the process improving to three games over .500 for the first time since finishing 46-36 in 2010-11.

Davis finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in Monday's 99-74 win over Philadelphia to give New Orleans its fourth straight home win. Ryan Anderson followed his 18-point performance against Dallas a night earlier with 19.

"It doesn't matter who scores," Davis said. "Everybody's playing together. Everybody's playing hard and that's all that the coaches ask for."

Davis' words have best been exemplified by Tyreke Evans, who's started at point guard the last eight games since Jrue Holiday suffered a stress reaction in his right leg. Evans has averaged 7.4 assists during that stretch after setting a season high with 12 in back-to-back contests.

He's averaging 17.0 points on the season but finished with just six on a season-low six field-goal attempts against the 76ers.

"As long as were winning the game and everybody is having fun, it doesn't matter to me," Evans said. "I could have easily penetrated and got to the rim, but I'd seen guys open and I was looking to find guys."

Especially Davis, who was the beneficiary of a few alley-oops from Evans.

"I've got a good feel for A.D., I know what he likes to do," Evans said. "I'm comfortable playing with him and it's just fun out there when we're playing like that."

New Orleans didn't have much fun during a 117-97 loss to Denver on Nov. 21, a feeling the Nuggets have experienced plenty during their slump.

Denver (18-27) has lost its last three by a combined seven points, blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in Monday's 102-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Ty Lawson had 19 points and 11 assists while Wilson Chandler and Arron Afflalo added 18 points apiece for the Nuggets, who have led by at least eight in the second half of their past three games.

"The effort is there, but we've got to develop some killer instinct," coach Brian Shaw said. "We're not making plays other teams are making, and that's preventing us from winning games."

Shaw can point to the fact that Denver hasn't outscored an opponent in the final quarter in 11 straight games since a win over Memphis on Jan. 3.

"I don't know if we're growing at all," Shaw said. "At some point when we get teams down we need to be able to keep them down. When the game is on the line, we have to make the winning plays."

Denver has dropped 10 of 12 on the road and will be making its second stop on a three-game swing.

The Pelicans are 15-5 at home, where Evans is averaging 20.1 points and 6.4 assists while shooting 49.2 percent from the field. He's putting up 14.5 points and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 38.7 percent on the road.
