Without Melo or Jr Smith, it will not make a difference in this game. The Bobcats are playing over their heads. Chauncey is what makes the Nuggets motor go, and they will handle the Bobcats at home. Aaron Affalo has been deadly from the 3 lately, and Lawson is contributing in a spectacular way off the bench. They'll pick up the slack here, and Nuggets win by 10 points.
