Their top producers were Chauncey Billups with 27pts, while Carmelo Anthony added 20pts eight rebounds and Nene pulled down 10 rebounds. Carmelo Anthony has been suspended one game, by Coach George Karl, for tonight’s game apparently for an in-game transgression. Multiple sources said Coach Karl tried to take Anthony out of the game in the third quarter, but Anthony refused to come out, disrespecting the coach. It’ll be Chauncey Billups first game back to Detroit since being traded away from Detroit. Denver has risen to the top of the Northwest Division thanks in large part to Billups' presence. The Nuggets are 17-14 SU on the road where they average 100.8 ppg and give up an average 100.5 ppg. They are 2-3 SU in their last five road games where they’ve averaged 98.6 ppg and given up an average 99.6 ppg. They are 32-27-1 ATS overall, 16-15 ATS on the road and 15-16 over/under on the road. The Pistons recently beat the Celtics 105-95 on the road. Their top scorers were Richard Hamilton with 25pts nine assists, while Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace each added 15pts. The Pistons expect to find out how serious Allen Iverson's back injury is later this week; it’ll be his third straight missed game. The Pistons are 14-15 SU at home where they average 93.2 ppg and give up an average 93.9 ppg. They are 1-4 SU in their last five home games where they’ve averaged 90 ppg and given up an average 94.2 ppg. They are 23-35 ATS overall, 7-22 ATS at home and 12-16-1 over/under at home.
