Iverson has not been the answer in Denver
Basketball Betting Lines
02/28/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Even with Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson on their
roster, the Denver Nuggets are battling just to qualify for the playoffs in
the Western Conference.
Denver is a disappointing 27-28 and trail the first place Utah Jazz by a
distant 9 1/2 games in the Northwest Division. The Nuggets are No. 7 in the
Western Conference playoff race, one-half game ahead of the eighth-seeded
Clippers and just one game ahead of No. 9 New Orleans/Oklahoma City.
The Orlando Magic play the second of a tough four-game road trip when they
visit the Nuggets on Wednesday at the Pepsi Center. It is the second and final
meeting of the campaign between the clubs. On November 15th, Keyon Dooling
scored a career-high 25 points to lead the Magic past Denver, 108-99, at TD
Waterhouse Centre.
Orlando has lost three straight after winning its last six at Denver.
Denver plays the opener of a three-game homestand against the Magic. Anthony
scored 33 points and Iverson netted 25 and dished out nine assists, as the
Nuggets halted a four-game losing streak with a 111-107 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum.
Nene posted a career-high tying 27 points and nine rebounds in the win over
Memphis for the Nuggets, who improved to 13-13 on the road. Marcus Camby added
eight points and 13 boards for Denver.
The Nuggets are 14-15 at home this season. They are scheduled to host the
Houston Rockets on Friday and the Hornets on March 6th.
Iverson, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Philadelphia 76ers
on December 19th, has scored more than 20 points in three straight contests
and is averaging 28.0 points and 6.0 assists during that span. The Georgetown
product has posted 26.2 points and 7.5 assists in 24 games in a Denver
uniform.
Since the acquisition of Iverson, the Nuggets have recorded a 13-19 record.
Denver will play 15 of its final 27 games of the regular season on the road.
