Don't let the Raptors two consecutive Western Conference road wins fool you. With the Raptors best player Andrea Bargnani re-aggravating his strained left calf, even a depleted Nuggets team should take down the dinos in Denver tonight.
Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson has joined the ranks of the walking wounded in Denver. As the team gets set to face the 6-13 Toronto Raptors tonight, Denver could be without two starters, one key bench member, and a reserve. What should George Karl do with his rotations?

The Nuggets look to the future as they extend their (hopefully) star small forward Danilo Gallinari. What other big things does the future hold for our Denver Nuggets?
The Nuggets (12-5) are about to play their 18th game of the season, tonight, and are already 25.7% of the way through the 2011-12 campaign. If things were to end today, George Karl and his team would be the No. 2 seed out West and facing the Memphis Grizzlies in Round One of the playoffs. Let's continue with our movie theme for the guards ...
The Nuggets completed a four-game East Coast road-trip with a 4-0 record. Tonight they headed West to face the Kings at Power Balance Pavillion and annihilated DeMarcus Cousins and Company 122-93. Denver completed their five games away from home with a 5-0 record. Quite impressive ... and George Karl played all three rookies!
Good teams put bad teams away early ... Denver is up at the half 66-43. Danilo Gallinari is playing like a mad man - shooting 7-10 from the field (6-6 free throws) for 21 points. Scary moment ... Ty Lawson suffered a sprained ankle. George Karl is in a great mood as both Julyan Stone and Kenneth Faried have seen first half playing time. Post your second half comments here ... Manimal Time!
The Nuggets five-game road trip comes to an end this evening in Sacramento. Yes, the four-game East Coast trip included a couple days off in Denver, but the team wont play in the friendly confines of the Pepsi Center again until they complete tonight's game at Power Balance Pavilion in Sacramento. This will be the first time the Nuggs face the Kings since they fired head coach Paul Westphal.
