The Denver Nuggets will be meeting the Philadelphia 76ers tonight in Philadelphia. The game will be live streamed at 7:00 PM ET from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Star guards, Ty Lawson and Michael Carter-Williams could both be sidelined for the Saturday night game.

Lawson left late in the third quarter of Denver's 106-98 loss at Boston on Friday with a left hamstring injury. It's not clear if the ailment will sideline him Saturday, which would be his first missed game this season.

Lawson's career-best 19.3 points per game not only leads the Nuggets (11-8), but it is one of the best marks among the league's point guards. He's also averaging a personal-best 8.2 assists and his 2.9 assist-to-turnover ratio is the highest he's posted in five NBA seasons.

The 76ers (7-13) also couldn't overcome being without Carter-Williams on Friday, losing 105-88 in Charlotte while the rookie from Syracuse was sidelined by a sore right knee. He had played in the club's last seven games after missing four in a row in mid-November due to a bruised left foot. His status against the Nuggets is unclear.

Philadelphia is just 1-4 without Carter-Williams, whose 7.3 assists per game lead the team while his average of 17.7 points is second only to Evan Turner.

Denver's season-long six game road trip -- Saturday marks the fifth stop -- could easily end in a sour fashion without Lawson, particularly if Brian Shaw's club can't improve its first-quarter defense.

The Nuggets fell behind 14-0 against the Celtics, leading to a 39-15 deficit after 12 minutes. It marked the fourth straight game in which they've been outscored in the first quarter and the third time in that span that they've allowed at least 31 points in the first frame.

Philadelphia would also like to shore up its defense in the early portion of games. They're allowing an NBA-worst 56.8 first-half points per contest.

The game can be seen live streamed on the CSN Network.
