Nuggets host Sonics at Pepsi Center

Denver returns home after going 2-3 on a five-game road trip. On Monday, Rasheed Wallace hit a shot from three-quarters the length of the court to force overtime, and made a few crucial shots in the extra session to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 113-109 win over the Nuggets at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Marcus Camby scored 24 points and pulled down 13 boards in the loss for the Nuggets, who have dropped three of their last four games overall. Nene finished with 21 points and 17 boards, while J.R. Smith netted 21 in defeat.

Neither Allen Iverson or Carmelo Anthony played well for Denver against the Pistons. Iverson finished with 16 points, while Anthony was 6-of-19 from the floor for just 13 points.

The Nuggets are 19-17 at home this season. After tonight’s contest, they will embark on a tough three-game road trip. Denver is scheduled to visit Phoenix, Seattle and the Lakers on the upcoming swing.

Seattle wraps up a brief two-game road trip. On Tuesday, Rashard Lewis triggered the improbable. Down 25 points and without All-Star Ray Allen, the SuperSonics came back and took the lead on a pair of Lewis free throws with just over one minute left and held on for a 114-106 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.

Lewis scored 21 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter when Seattle outscored Minnesota 35-12. Chris Wilcox finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, while guard Earl Watson contributed 24 points, including five threes, off the bench.

The SuperSonics are 9-25 on the road this season. They return home to host Pau Gasol and the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday at KeyArena.

This is the third of four meetings between the squads this season. Denver won the two previous contests and has won four of the last five meetings in the series.

Seattle has lost two straight and four of the last six contests at Denver.

The SuperSonics will host the Nuggets on Sunday at KeyArena.
