The Denver Nuggets have scored at an even higher rate than usual recently. Most impressive about the stretch is how much depth they are showing. The Nuggets look to win their fifth straight when they visit the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night. Denver, among the league leaders with 107.7 points per game, has averaged 117.3 during its winning streak after being held to fewer than 90 in back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix. The Nuggets opened a four-game road trip with a 110-102 win over Minnesota on Wednesday, with six players finishing in double figures. Carmelo Anthony, who scored 30 or more in the previous three games, shot 6 of 16 from the field for 19 points, but he was helped by his teammates as Chauncey Billups scored 25, Nene had 17 and J.R. Smith added 15.

Smith, averaging 15.2 points, is scoring 18.8 per game during the winning streak. He hit three 3-pointers in the third quarter, when Denver outscored the Timberwolves 31-19. The improved play of Smith and Chris Andersen, who is averaging 11.3 points over the last four games, has helped make up for the absence of Kenyon Martin, who is out indefinitely while undergoing plasma therapy on his left knee. Martin is averaging 11.8 points and a team-high 9.6 rebounds. The Nuggets are looking for their second victory in three games against the Hornets after recording a 116-110 overtime win Jan. 23.
