Husstlas Preview.

The Denver Nuggets are set to host the Phoenix Suns, who are looking to continue their franchise record winning streak.

Denver Nuggets are short of star player and forward Carmelo Anthony, and J.R. Smith, both who are serving suspension. No news on if Allen Iverson is in Denver and cleared to play, but with the exclusion of Andre Miller from the Nuggets roster, it seems likely that guard Earl Boykins is to start.

Phoenix Suns, are coming off from a game where 6 players got into double digits in scoring. They are on fire and have been putting in a solid performance game after game after game. This will be a really tough game for the Nuggets who will be missing majority of their starters.

This will be tough, whether Iverson plays or not, I think, makes no difference. I'd rather he didn't, honestly, as he might hurt the team more than anything. He doesn't have nearly enough time to know any of the plays or players before the game. I'd like to see him be able to practice first, get to know the system.

The major problem for this game is the lack of ball handling after the Smurf. The Nuggets will be left with DJ serving as a backup PG.

Even though Ivan is being told not to report, I'm not convinced the Nuggets can waive him and sign someone like Anthony Carter quickly enough to be in uniform for tonights game

[Husstla]

Good point. Iverson is better off sitting this game out, watch the game closely, practice(haha), and come in for the next game, after spending a couple of days with the team and getting used to it. It wouldn't be a good idea to sit him out next game too because then we would just be idiots because we are just benching our best player when our other star player is already suspended

[Melo's Answer]

It sounds like Allen Iverson indeed will not play until Friday against the Kings, prolly for the best. Hopefully hes in town at least and can come to the game tonight and get aquainted with everyone.

This is going to be a tough game for the Nuggets with everything considered. Phoenix is a tough team to play anytime not to mention short-handed. They are coming off a back to back tho maybe we can suprise them.

DENVER -- With a blizzard blowing through town, the Denver Nuggets don't expect Allen Iverson at Wednesday night's game against Phoenix.

"Highly improbable to next to impossible," said Mark Warkentien, Denver's vice president of basketball operations.

The Nuggets hope to have their newest players in the lineup Wednesday, but Iverson's agent, Leon Rose, said the point guard would not be in the mix.

``If it's logistically possible, it's going to happen,'' said Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets' vice president of basketball operations.
