“Denver” “Nuggets” 12-15
Last week: 2-1
Role players is the one word that would perfectly define the 2014/2015 Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets brass was expecting big things from Kenneth Faried after his showing at the FIBA championships but Faried has not performed as well as they would have hoped. Faried is averaging just over a 10 points a game and grabbing just under seven rebounds a game.
Lawson has been their lone bright spot averaging 15 points and 10 assists. They rank 26th in the league in field goal percentage at 43.2 percent. They went 2-1 this week but could struggle as they just lost Danilo Gallinari to knee surgery again.
