The Denver Nuggets are officially struggling. After losing last night to the Houston Rockets, the team has lost four out of their last five games and five out of their last seven games.

Now, head coach Michael Malone is ready to make changes.

"I just told them, I'm going to start playing different people," Malone said. "You just can't go out there because you think you're going to play and go out there and do nothing. You've got to bring something to the party."

If there was one player that Michael Malone was happy with against the Houston Rockets, it was Justin Holiday. He was a +9 off the bench and the only player off the bench in a positive.

"I thought Justin Holiday, give him credit," Malone said. "I thought he went out there and he was one of the few guys that had a positive plus/minus. I thought Justin played pretty well. So, we'll see. We're going home, very disappointing road trip, 1 of 4. That's a challenge, when you have so many young, unproven players off the bench, but we also have games to win."

The only thing Michael Malone wants to do with these lineup changes is win. It doesn't matter who is out there, as long as they can help the Denver Nuggets win a game.

"We need to get a win, and I'm going to play the guys that are gonna help us get a win."
