Evan Turner and the 76ers take the win over the Denver Nuggets in the season opener last night. The game was never quite as close as the score would suggest. Despite a 20pt 13reb double double performance from Gallo, it just wasn't enough for the Nuggets to overcome the outing from the 76ers.

Also look for Aaron Afflalo to try and have a big night as he's going up against his former team in this one.

Ty Lawson was everywhere doing everything for the Nuggets last night, giving his team all he had to get them their first win of the season over the Orlando Magic. Denver controlled the game from the tip and got the easy win down in Orlando beating the Magic by 19. Lawson recorded his first double-double of the season putting up 29pts 11ast 7stl and 2 reb. Let's hope the team can carry this momentum into their next game and maybe get on a nice run here early in the season.

In the last game of their three game road trip to start the season, the Nuggets head down to South Beach to take on the defending NBA champion Miami Heat. The Nuggets fresh off their first win of the season over the Magic, look to get their record over .500. Meanwhile the Heat, well the Heat probably aren't too worried about this one.

Projected Starters Ty Lawson Point Guard Mario Chalmers Andre Iguodala Shooting Guard Dwayne Wade Danilo Gallinari Small Forward LeBron James Kenneth Faried Power Forward Udonis Haslem Kosta Koufos Center Chris Bosh Injury Report Game Notes How will Iggy and Gallinari matchup with King James and D-Wade? This is what will definitely be the deciding factor in this one.

[HighCmpPct]

The raining MVP LeBron James and the Heat easily took care of the visiting Nuggets last night by a 30 point margin. King James and Udonis Haslem both double-doubled, and LeBron led the Heat in points(24), rebounds(11), and assist(7). Iggy and Faried fought hard for the Nuggets, Iggy scoring 25 and Faried putting up a double-double with 18 points and 10 boards but it was no where near enough to down the defending champs.

The Nuggets head to Denver for the home opener next against the Pistons.
