TEMPE, Ariz. -- No matter that it wasnt a work of art, the Arizona Cardinals got a much-needed victory, but they lost their two starting guards to what appeared to be serious ankle injuries.Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that the team was still in the evaluation process of Evan Mathis and Mike Iupati.Mike is looking a little more promising than Evan at this moment, Arians said. Whether or not there will be roster moves, well talk about it over the weekend, Steve (general manager Steve Keim) and I.Arians praised the play of backups Earl Watford and John Wetzel, especially Wetzel, normally a tackle who hadnt played guard since training camp.After the 33-21 win at San Francisco on Thursday night, the Cardinals are 2-3. They wont practice again until next Wednesday.That still gives them five days of practice before a Monday night home game against the New York Jets.Its a mini-bye week, Arians said. We should get a lot of guys back. Some of the veteran guys can heal up and still have an extra day of practice for the Jets.Defensive tackle Calais Campbell, who had an interception and two sacks -- one for a safety, welcomed the time off.Thats the biggest benefit of playing Thursday night, he said. You dont get a lot of time to prepare and take care of your body when you play Thursday. Its always tough, but the one benefit is its pretty much a bye week to get massages, flush your system out, just get back to feeling good.Arians said quarterback Carson Palmer was hopefully in the last of the (concussion) protocol. Will Palmer be back for the Jets game?I cant say for sure, Arians said, but he sure looks good in there lifting weights.With Palmer out, backup Drew Stantons statistics were unremarkable (11-for-28 for 124 yards). But he did throw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald and didnt commit a turnover.That Cardinals trailed 7-0 and had punted all six times they had the ball when they made probably the biggest play of the game.With 1:55 to play in the half, Chandler Jones batted Blaine Gabberts pass into the air and Campbell gathered it in at the San Francisco 21-yard line.I was trying to bat it myself. It got batted before it got back to me, Campbell said, so I had my eye on the ball the whole time. ... Growing up playing basketball I averaged 16 rebounds in high school. That was in my mind. If the ball was in the air I was going to go get it.On the next play, Stanton threw to a wide open Fitzgerald and it was 7-7 at the half.David Johnson rushed for 157 yards, the most in an NFL game this season. But, as he has in the past, Arians found things to criticize.Oh, he had some deficiencies in this game, Arians said. He left another hundred yards out there. That same damn pass route that he screwed up in the end zone, he did it again. Im changing the name of the play so he cant screw it up anymore. Then I can cheer for him. He ran extremely well, but he did put the ball on the ground and he cannot have that.Arians loves for his Cardinals to pass the ball but he turned to Johnson and his backup Andre Ellington on the drive that sealed the victory.The Cardinals went 76 yards in 12 plays, using up 7:12 in the process. Eleven of the plays were running plays. The lone pass went to Johnson for 21 yards.Next up is a matchup with Jets coach Todd Bowles, the defensive coordinator the first two years Arians was in Arizona.I dont look at it that way, Arians said. Its the Jets. He and I dont get to play.Game notesArians said inside linebacker Kevin Minter has a mild concussion. ... Michael Floyd didnt have a catch and dropped a couple. Arians said Floyd is pressing and the fact the wide receiver is in a contract year has a lot to do with it. ... Arians said the special teams played the best of any game since hes been in Arizona. ...

PETERSBURG, Fla.WASHINGTON -- The scoreboard wasnt working at the outset, when there were thousands of empty seats and the fans that did show up were quiet as can be, so the arena announcer pierced the silence Thursday night, telling the small gathering by just how much the mediocre Washington Wizards were trailing the Denver Nuggets, basket after basket.It was kind of, like, a gloomy feel, Denvers Wilson Chandler said.Eventually, the overhead electronic display began functioning, and when Wizards guard Bradley Beals airball led to a shot-clock violation with the hosts already down 12 and proud owners of seven turnovers and two made baskets, the till-then mum spectators mustered the energy to boo the home team.It was that kind of night for the Wizards until the second half, when it became that sort of night for the Nuggets. Washington erased a double-digit deficit and, thanks to Beals 26 points and Denvers season-high 29 turnovers, beat the Nuggets 92-85.Washington is 8-13. The Nuggets lost for the fifth time in six games, dropping to 8-15.This was not a marquee matchup, by any definition, and the atmosphere was apt. The announced attendance was 12,645 -- about 7,000 shy of a sellout. At tipoff, fewer were there. The scoreboard was stuck at 0-0 for several minutes, which kind of bugged us, Beal said.The place had all the verve of a library.You always want that sixth man, that disadvantage to the other squad, Beal said. But at the same time, were all grown men, were all NBA players, this is our job, and at the end of the day, we have to go out there and play the game ... if theres one fan or 30,000.John Wall scored only 15 points one game after a career-best 52, but nine came in the fourth quarter.With starting point guard Emmanuel Mudiay inactive because of a sprained right ankle, and leading rebouunder Kenneth Faried on the bench throughout, the Nuggets went 5 1/2 minutes without a point in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd. In that period, they had 10 turnovers and shot 1 for 14 on 3-pointers.Washington coach Scott Brooks keeps lamenting no-effort defense from his team, which allowed 124 points in a loss to Orlando on Tuesday.We were disappointed in ourselves last game. All of us, Brooks said. Its only one game, but we did play better defense.Nuggets coach Michael Malone attributed his teams 12-point fourth quarter mainly to fatigue on the second game of a back-to-back.Not taking anything away from their team, I thought a lot of our turnovers were self-inflicted, Malone said, and when you get tired, you start to make mistakes, mental mistakes.TIP-INSNuggets: Nikola Jokic scored 17 points. ...

Washington is 6-6 at home, 2-7 on the road.DENVERS CHANGESMudiay missed a game for the first time all season. Hes fourth on Denver in scoring (13.1), second in assists (3.8). He went out and tried to warm up before the game, Malone said. Just wasnt feeling right. Farieds minutes, declining recently, went to zero Thursday. By no means is Kenneth Faried out of our rotation or not going to play for us, Malone said.LEADERSHIPAsked who takes care of holding teammates accountable when things dont go well, Wizards F Markieff Morris replied: Wall is the voice and Im like the muscle.UP NEXTNuggets: At Orlando on Saturday night.Wizards: Host Milwaukee on Saturday night.
