Nuggets' Kenneth Faried, Will Barton, and Emmanuel Mudiay questionable Sunday
Denver Nuggets forward/center Kenneth Faried (back), guard/forward Will Barton (foot) and point guard Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) are questionable to play Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Faried has been playing through the back issue over the past three, and while he's been fighting through the pain, it's clearly affected his play as his minutes have been limited to the teens. He'll remain a risky target even if he is able to get out there tonight. Wilson Chandler should continue to come off the bench if Barton is inactive, and Jamal Murray would be forced into heavy minutes if Mudiay can't give it a go with Jameer Nelson (calf) already having been ruled out.
Murray represents a great value in DFS today if Mudiay sits, as our models project him for 15.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 33.2 minutes tonight.
