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.

SACRAMENTO: BACKCOURT: PG Darren Collison replaces Rajon Rondo in the starting lineup, or at least he will after serving an eight-game suspension for domestic violence. PG Ty Lawson will sub in for him'if he can make it to the regular season without getting cut, that is. Maybe it will be PG Jordan Farmar? No one will blame SG Arron Afflalo for not putting forth full effort for this team, but SG Ben McLemore needs to prove he belongs in an NBA rotation. . . . FRONTCOURT: A happy, productive C DeMarcus Cousins is something of a mythical creature in Sacramento, but has been seen before. There's no reason to believe Cousins will be happy this year, though, and he's right not to be. SF Rudy Gay has expressed similar discontent, although it's fair to ask if he can be a part of a winning team anywhere. It would be nice to see C Willie Cauley-Stein have a more polished offensive game in his second season. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Lawson's preseason drama (in which he missed a team flight) is just the latest example of dysfunction for the Kings. It seems likely that Gay will be gone before the season's up, and wholly possible that Cousins will be, too.

PREVIEW

Kings begin life without Cousins versus Nuggets

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- When the Sacramento Kings scattered for the All-Star break, the players were looking forward to the fresh start that would come Thursday with the start of the season's unofficial second half, as well as the possibility of trying to end the franchise's 10-year playoff drought.

They had no idea they'd be christening a new era.

Life without foward DeMarcus Cousins begins for the Kings on Thursday when they host the Denver Nuggets at the Golden 1 Center. The Kings ended their nearly seven-year relationship with the big man Sunday, trading him to the New Orleans Pelicans for guards Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway and Tyreke Evans.

The Nuggets (25-31) are 1 1/2 games ahead of the ninth-place Kings in the Western Conference standings for the final Western Conference playoff spot. Portland, New Orleans, Dallas and Minnesota all are within 3 1/2 games of that spot.

"To try to go to the playoffs, that's our goal," Nuggets center Nikola Jokic told the Denver Post. "We are the eighth seed, so we're in a good spot to do that.

The Kings (24-33), who won four straight before getting blasted by Golden State to close the first half, are taking on an optimistic view, too, at least publicly.

"I think we've got enough guys that's in it for the right reasons that I don't see why we couldn't make the eighth seed," center Willie Cauley-Stein told the Sacramento Bee. "For me, that's my mission, the next 25 games."

Cauley-Stein figures to get a heavy share of the 34 minutes per game the Kings must replace with Cousins is gone. It won't be so easy replacing Cousins' 27.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, even if the Kings won't miss his NBA-leading 17 technical fouls. With Rudy Gay gone for the season, guard Darren Collison leads Sacramento in scoring (13.7 points per game) and center Kosta Koufos is its leading rebounder (5.4).

Sacramento, which also waived forward Matt Barnes over the break, won its final three home games before the break, one of them a 108-92 dusting of the Boston Celtics without Cousins on Feb. 8. Boston closed the first half with the East's second-best record.

"I think with us, we have to literally play team basketball," Collison told the Bee. "It sounds like such a generic statement, but that's how we have to try to win games."

The Nuggets, who closed the pre-break schedule with an 11-8 stretch, may be getting healthy. Leading scorer Danilo Gallinari (17.2 points, groin injury), fellow forward Kenneth Faried (ankle) and point guard Emmanuel Mudiay (back) may return after missing the final four games before the break, and forward Wilson Chandler (illness) also should be back.

"I think everybody's available to play," Nuggets coach Michael Malone told the Denver Post. "All those guys were able to participate" in a Tuesday night practice.

Malone also said the Nuggets must improve their defense in the second half. Denver was eighth in the NBA in offensive efficiency in the first half but last in defensive efficiency.

Jokic, averaging 16.3 points and a team-best 9.0 rebounds, scored 99 points and tallied 57 rebounds in his final four games before the break.
