November 19, 2008 Chauncey Billups continues to be a rock for the Nuggets, finishing with 22 points, five rebounds, six assists, a block and a steal on Wednesday night. Denver knocked off the Spurs 91-81.
Our View:Both Detroit and Denver are benefiting from the Billups-Iverson trade right now and this trend is likely to continue.
November 17, 2008 The Rocky Mountain News reports that Chauncey Billups was chosen the Western Conference's Player of the Week (Nov. 10-16) for averaging 21.5 points, 5.8 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.25 steals in four games last week. Denver went 3-1 in those games.
Our View:Billups' stat lines were not particularly dominant but his effect on a struggling Nuggets' squad has been immense. Expect his production to increase now that he plays for a coach who pushes the pace.
November 16, 2008 Chauncey Billups did not shoot well, going 7-for-23 from the field, but he did make half of his eight three-point shots while scoring 26 points and collecting five assists and five rebounds in the Nuggets' 90-84 win over Minnesota.
Our View:His scoring opportunities continue to go up with Denver, and his PPG average should keep rising for a while before finally leveling off.
