? Nets forward Kevin Garnett will be in the lineup tonight despite playing in the loss at Portland on Wednesday. Garnett, 38, has been held out of some ba ck-to-back games but the blowout loss to the Trail Blazers was a motivation to play against Denver. "He said last night he wanted to play. I talked to him this morning and he still wanted to play," Brooklyn coach Jason Kidd said. "He's a character guy. He didn't play at the level he wanted to in Portland. He's a competitor and he wants to get things going back in the right direction, that's why he wants to play."
