Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony (right knee bruise) is unlikely to play tonight against Cleveland, saying this morning at Denver's shootaround: "I got to be smart — I want to play this game more than anybody, but unfortunately I might not."
Anthony, who averages 30 points per game, said if he doesn't play tonight he also won't play Saturday at Sacramento and will shot for Monday against Minnesota.
Nuggets coach George Karl said that point guard Ty Lawson (ankle) is doubtful for tonight but starting point Chauncey Billups (groin), as expected, said today he will play against LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
It's possible starting center Nene (ankle) won't play tonight — he is a game-time decision — and reserve center Chris Andersen, originally thought to be out for sure, could possibly give it a go tonight, though he too is a game-time decision.
