Even though George Karl planned on having Harrington come off of the bench, I didn't think it would actually happen. Well, it happened. 

So, here's the lineup for the Denver Nuggets to start the year off:

Starting five:

Point Guard: Chauncey Billups

Porjected time: 25-33 minutes

Shooting Guard: Arron Affalo

Projected minutes: 30-38 minutes

Small Forward : Carmelo Anthony

Projected minutes: 35-40 minutes

Power Forward: Shelden Williams

Projected minutes: 20-30 minutes

Center: Nene

Projected minutes: 30-40 minutes

key reserves:

Point Guard: Ty Lawson

Shooting Guard: J.R. Smith

Forward: Al Harrington (minutes may be limited due to the foot injury)

Note: the minutes aren't official, I'm just taking a guess.

Bench:

(Renaldo Balkman) (may play due to the loss of Chris Andersen)

Anthony Carter

Gary Forbes

Melvin Ely
