Coach George Karl said 90 minutes before tipoff that guard Chauncey Billups and forwards Carmelo Anthony and Chris Andersen will miss the game against Golden State.
Billups has been battling a left groin strain suffered against the Rockets on Dec. 16. This will be the eighth game he has missed with the injury. Anthony, who bruised his right knee Dec. 28 at Sacramento, will miss his third straight.
Andersen suffered a sprained left ankle in Sunday's loss to the 76ers. Karl said Andersen will probably miss Friday's game against the Cavaliers, too.
