Now, the Denver Nuggets, down 2-0 to the San Antonio Spurs in their Western Confer ence series, hope to emulate the 76ers. The 76ers, despite injuries to VIoses Malone and Andrew Toney, were able to beat the Knicks twice in Philadelphia and now the Nuggets are facing the prospects of playing without Alex English, the league’s lead ing scorer, and center Dan Issel. English sat out the second game of the series Wednesday night, and Issel left the game in the fourth period with a knee injury. X-rays at a Denver hos pital Thursday showed no struc tural damage to Issel’s knee, but doctors said there was a strained kneecap that made it doubtful NEED CASH?

English had treatment on his strained left ankle Thursday, but was listed as questionable for the third game. “Hopefully we can get at least one of them back for part of the game,” a Nuggets’ spokesman said. “I fit is at all humanly possi ble, Issel will make it. You get the feeling Dan is indestructible because he misses so few games. But he has missed some.” In other matchups tonight, Los Angeles is at Portland look : ing to take its third straight from the Trail Blazers and Milwaukee is at Boston hoping to take a 2-0 lead over the Celtics. Saturday, Philadelphia is at New York for Game 3 of their series. Denver guard T.R.

Moore set a playoff record with 20 assists and added 26 points Wednesday night in leading the Spurs to a 126-109 triumph. He has scored 50 points, collected 37 assists and had only one turnover in the first two games of the best- of-seven series. In the 76ers-Knicks series, Maurice Cheeks had 26 points and four steals as the 76ers beat New York, 98-91, Wednesday night. The Knicks, who led by as many as 20 points in the third period, scored just 32 points in the second half. “Maurice seemed to be every where,” Philadelphia Coach Bil ly Cunningham said. Milwaukee’s Bob Lanier, who had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and Sidney Moncrief, who had 22 points, did the most damage as the Bucks embarrassed the Celtics in Boston Garden, 116- 95, Wednesday night. Lanier hit on 10-of-12 from the floor and got 16 points in the first half, which ended with Mil waukee ahead, 54-48. A 10-2 run early in the third quarter, with Lanier scoring four points, buried Boston for good. “This was just one of those abnormal days,” said Lanier, who hit on 10-of-12 shots from the floor. “Even at 34, you have abnormal days.” The Trail Blazers, who post ed a 31-10 mark at home, are hoping a Memorial Coliseum sellout crowd of 12,666 will help slow down the Lakers. Los Angeles center Kareem Abdul- Jabbar has been the dominant figure in the series. CAN TAKE THE WEEKEND OFF YOU GOTTA GET READY TO THE Si PS NEXT VJEEK!

United Press International JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Promoters are trying to salvage the Davey Moore- Roberto Duran World Boxing Association junior mid dleweight title bout scheduled for May 27. The status of the bout was jeopardized after the cofeature, a matchup between WBA light weight champion Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and Kenny Bogner, was postponed due to a fractured collar bone suffered by Mancini while sparring. The injury occured Wednes day night, forcing at least a 4 l /2- month postponement of his title defense at Sun City, Bophuthatswana. As an added feature on the program, Frank Sinatra was scheduled to perform a 30- minute concert, then do ring side commentary for television during both bouts. Sol Kerzner, chairman of Southern Sun Property, the co promoter with Bob Arum of Top Rank, Inc., said Sinatra would not perform but the card was not canceled. Kerzner said he was hopeful negotiations could be completed witn representatives of Moore and Duran to put on their title fight on May 27 without being shown on a pay-per-view basis. If those negotiations fall through, Kerzner said he would bring back both title fights in October. He said there was also a possi bility Bogner would be matched against a local fighter and a deci sion on the fate of the card would be announced within 48 hours. Mancini said he would fly back to the United States tonight.
