    Key Matchup

    <u>Carmelo Anthony vs. Pau Gasol</u>

    Two stars of tomorrow will face up in this game. Carmelo is the star of the Nuggets, and can lead them to victory more often than not. Pau Gasol will hurt you on the inside, and Denver don't really have an answer to his skills down low. He could be the key factor.

    Carmelo Anthony and Paul Gasol are the key factors of this game because of their talents to help their teams win when they need it the most. Carmelo with his ability to play unstopable in crunch time and Pao's ability to get key rebounds in the 4th. Should see alot from these two tonight.

    Key Factor

    <u>Backcourt Play</u>

    Rick Adelman said it, and it was plain for everyone to see, Memphis' backcourt, Jason Williams and Mike Miller, were on fire against the Kings. They combined for 52 points, while Jason Williams recorded a double-double with 10 assists. Andre Miller and Voshon Lenard will have a tough job trying to contain these two.

    <font color="Green">By TimFlem</font>
    Memphis backcourt is the key to this game for the Nuggets. They have to stop (add players name) from getting on fire early. If they do this they will have a chance to build up a substancial lead and maybe be able to keep it.

    Watch Out For

    <u>Earl Boykins</u>

    Keep an eye on Denver's sixth man. Earl Boykins has had a fairly quiet week, but every other game, he will pull something out of the bag.

    Predictions

    <font color="Blue">By jump</font>
    Beating Memphis at home is hard enough, as the Kings found out, but the crowd is really getting behind their team, and Memphis are on a record breaking streak so Denver are going to have a lot on their plate. If the Kings couldn't win, it will be hard for the Nuggets to crack them.

    I say the Nuggets take this one by 6. They will have to build a lead early though.
