Denver Nuggets will take an impressive 6-1 record in to Utah to play their last pre-season game. I have been following the pre-season Nuggets closely, and so far I like what I've seen. Only thing that worries me is the Nuggets health. Nene, Camby, and Martin have been dealing with nagging injuries and taking precautions to prevent any possible damage this pre-season. On a brighter note. Carmelo Anthony has looked great and played better. Voshon Lenard has looked good, and will be key to helping the Nuggets this year. Coach Karl was quoted saying Vo has been the most impressive player in training camp.

This is the last Pre-Season Game thread. After this game the regluar season starts!

Denver Nuggets 109

Utah Jazz 100

Nuggets and Jazz fans please take the time to make a prediction. The Nuggets will be playing this game in Utah. Also Kenyon Martin most likely won't be playing in this game due to his knee.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 28 (Ticker) -- Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets hope to keep on rolling in the regular season.

Anthony scored 21 points and Voshon Lenard added 16 as the Nuggets posted an 89-83 victory over the Utah Jazz in the preseason finale for both teams.

Anthony made 7-of-13 shots in 29 minutes for the Nuggets, who finished the preseason with seven straight wins. It will most likely not be that easy for Denver on Tuesday, when it opens the regular season at the defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

The Nuggets never trailed and took the lead for good, 34-32, when Anthony's jumper with 5:59 left in the first half ignited an 11-3 run.

Keith McLeod drew the Jazz within 55-49 with 8:19 remaining in the third quarter, but Utah failed to make a basket over the next seven minutes, going 0-of-7 from the field and committing five turnovers, as the Nuggets pulled away with a 10-2 spurt.

Mehmet Okur scored 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting for Utah, which shot 41 percent (28-of-69) and plays its regular season opener Wednesday against Dallas.

Denver played without Marcus Camby (foot) and Kenyon Martin (knee), although both are expected to be ready for the season opener. Carlos Boozer did not dress for Utah with a strained left hamstring.
