Eduardo Najera will need to put in lots of hustle and will want to stay out of foul trouble. Speedy Claxton will need to start penetrating again and will need to keep on breaking down offenses and getting steals that start fast breaks. Adonal Foyle will need to have a big night and he will need a double-double. Mike Dunleavy will need to have a big night and will want to avoid sleepwalking while guarding Melo. Mickael Pietrus and Dale Davis will really need to contribute off the bench today and will need good points. </font> <font size="3">Warriors MVP</font> <font size="2">Jason Richardson Projected Stats: 36 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists</font> <font size="3">Nuggets Head Coach</font> George Karl <font size="3">Nuggets Projected Starting Lineup</font> <font size="2">PG: Andre Miller 14.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 6.3 apg in 36.8 minutes SG: Greg Buckner 6.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 2.0 apg in 23.3 minutes SF: Carmelo Anthony 19.9 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 2.9 apg in 36.5 minutes PF: Kenyon Martin 15.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 2.7 apg in 34.3 minutes C: Marcus Camby 9.7 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 1.8 apg in 30.6 minutes</font> <font size="3">Nuggets Key Bench Players</font> <font size="2">Earl Boykins 11.8 ppg, 1.7 rpg, 3.5 apg in 25.5 minutes Projected Stats: 12 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists</font> <font size="3">Nuggets Injured Players</font> <font size="2">Francisco Elson (plantar fasciitis, right foot) Voshon Lenard (torn left Achilles tendon)</font> <font size="3">Nuggets Keys To Winning</font> <font size="2">To win this game, Greg Buckner will need to keep Jason Richardson?s scoring down unlike he did in their last meeting. Carmelo Anthony will have a sleepwalker guarding him and will need to use that to his advantage and will have a big night. Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby will have big games tonight crashing the boards and will have no trouble whatsoever since the Warriors who are without Troy Murphy and have no real rebounding. Andre Miller will need to cause Speedy Claxton trouble and get him out early and Earl Boykins will need to do the same off the bench.</font> <font size="3">Nuggets MVP</font> <font size="2">Kenyon Martin 15.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 2.7 apg in 34.3 minutes Projected Stats: 22 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists</font> <font size="3">Prediction</font> <font size="2">The Warriors will be killed on the boards, however J-Rich will drop 36.
