Kentavious Caldwell-Pope News
Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope tied his career-high for points in a playoff game on Tuesday night during their Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The 30-year-old registered 21 points, three assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block while shooting 9-for-17 from the floor. Caldwell-Pope was a big piece for the Lakers' championship team in the bubble, but he's now a big piece in the Lakers' downfall as their opponent. His versatility has proven to be indispensable for the Nuggets on both sides of the ball.
Denver Nuggets forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got off to a hot start during Thursday's Game 6 against the Phoenix Suns. He scored 17 points in the first quarter to help Denver take a 18-point lead into the second quarter. He cooled down after that, but his first quarter performance was enough of a jumpstart for Denver. Caldwell-Pope finished with 21 points, five rebounds, and three assists in the Game 6 victory. It's his first season in Denver, but he seems to be fitting in well. The Nuggets now wait to see who wins the Lakers versus Warriors series.
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the team's top scorer with 21 points in Saturday's 118-114 loss to Utah. It's only the fifth time this season Caldwell-Pope has been able to get to the 20-point plateau. He did it with 7-for-12 shooting, going a sensational 6-for-8 from downtown. The Nuggets starters played only three quarters, and Caldwell-Pope wrapped things up with three assists, one steal and two blocks. The 30-year-old has had a quiet finish to the regular season but should feel a lot better about himself now. The Nuggets complete the campaign Sunday versus Sacramento, with Caldwell-Pope and the rest of the starters likely sitting out the contest.
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) and guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be in the lineup Saturday against the 76ers. The latter has shaken off a questionable tag, while Caldwell-Pope returns to action from a one-game absence. The former Laker has quietly had a very solid season in the Nuggets starting unit, averaging 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals. Brown has also started the last three games and will head back to the bench on Saturday, but he's been very productive as a reserve as well and remains a vital piece for the team.
