Nuggets: Can Denver extinguish Kevin Durant? - Kevin Durant is on a roll, more
so than Kevin Durant is usually.His Oklahoma City Thunder face the Nuggets in
Denver, and while George Karl's team is 15-3 at home, it faces an uphill climb
as high as the Rocky Mountains on
Sunday.Durant is coming off a career-high, 52-point performance against the
Dallas Mavericks. A career 47 percent shooter, Durant is hitting 54 percent of
his shots in the past 10 games for the Thunder, and he's averaging 37.6 in his
last five outings. The bad news?That ridiculous average was weighed down by a
20-point performance against the Nuggets on Wednesday; it was 20 points because
he played just 29 minutes and went 7-of-12 from the floor during a 117-97
blowout in Oklahoma City. That's not to say Denver doesn't
have the firepower to hang with Durant, Russell Westbrook and a Thunder team
going for their seventh straight victory.
The Nuggets are the fifth-highest scoring team in the NBA at 102.7 points per
game. The Thunder are the most efficient offensive team in the NBA, and they
average 113 points per 100 possessions, according to Basketball-Reference.com.
Scott Brooks' squad is also sixth in the league in defensive rating.Winning six
straight themselves, the Nuggets came back to earth against the Thunder on
Wednesday and then fell, 112-108, to the rising Washington Wizards on Friday.One
player who will look to redeem himself is point guard Ty Lawson, who dropped 29
on the Wizards in a losing effort and has scored 20 in three of his last four
games.
He was one player to struggle mightily against Buy MUT 18 Coins Oklahoma City less than a week
ago, scoring just two points and turning the ball over four times in 20 minutes.
The point guard competition might be the thing to watch.Andre Miller and Lawson
struggled to contain Westbrook, who went 12-of-20 from the floor for 32 points
in what would appear to be a matchup problem for Denver.Add in Durant, and the
Nuggets' impressive record in the Pepsi Center could risk taking a hit.Time: 8
