ORLANDO, Fla. — J.J. Redick was hanging at his house playing video games with Ryan Anderson about a month ago when the topic of playing time arose.

Trying to teach his teammate not to get frustrated, Redick pulled up his game logs on the Internet from his first two NBA seasons to show all the games he didn't play.

"We had quite a chuckle," Redick said. "You see like 17 ... in a row."

Redick again showed how far he's come, and Anderson might not be far behind.

Redick had 23 points and career highs of eight assists and seven rebounds in place of an injured Vince Carter, helping the Orlando Magic beat the Denver Nuggets, 103-97, last night.

He was 8-for-15 shooting and played a career-high 46 minutes after Carter sprained his right big toe. The Magic also got a big boost with 19 points from Anderson for their 13th win in the last 15 games.

Redick got another lift at halftime, too, when he saw his former Duke team about to clinch a spot in the Final Four. But he pointed to his minutes — and what he did with them — as his proudest moment of the night.

"I think sometimes as a player when you know you're not going to come out, you don't force things and you move the ball and you make the extra pass," Redick said.

Denver simply crumbled.

Carmelo Anthony had 26 points but was held without a field goal in the fourth, and Chauncey Billups finished with 18 points for the struggling Nuggets, losers of four of their last five games.

"I don't think that it's cause for concern," Anthony said. "It's just that it's happening right now, the last nine or 10 games of the season. But I don't think anybody on our team should be concerned about anything."

The Nuggets have started 1-3 on their five-game road trip — all without coach George Karl, who missed his 11th game since announcing that he had been diagnosed with throat and neck cancer. Denver is 6-5 without Karl.

"We've just got to stick together," interim coach Adrian Dantley said. "We haven't been playing well. You're going to go through stretches like that during the year and we've just got to come back."

Carter left 95 seconds into the game, two days after he sprained his right ankle in a win over Minnesota. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't expect Carter to miss much time.
