Nuggets continue Raptors misery

Rudy Fernandez had 23 points for Denver as the Nuggets jumped out to an early lead and were never seriously challenged by the Toronto Raptors.
In his first game back since missing two straight, the Spanish shooting guard was 9-of-11 including 5-of-7 from beyond the arc in the 96-81 victory as Denver won their sixth straight to stay two games back of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
New Orleans pulled the shock of the night as they routed the Orlando Magic 93-67. Carl Landry led the Hornets with 17 points and Marco Belinelli and Jarrett Jack combined for 26 more in another embarrassing loss for the Magic who fell despite Dwight Howard's 28 points and 16 rebounds.
Also picking up easy wins were the Houston Rockets and Portland Trailblazers. Houston gave their bench extensive play in the 103-76 victory over the hapless Washington Wizards while Marcus Camby had the bizarre stat line of 0 points and 20 rebounds in the Portland 109-71 destruction of the Phoenix Suns.
The Nuggets are 7501.00 to win the NBA Championship while Magic are 7501.00 and the Trailblazers are 7501.00.
