Nuggets' Will Barton scores 22 points in Tuesday start

In Tuesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton had 22 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block in 42 minutes.

What It Means:

Barton got the nod in the starting lineup on Tuesday, and he didn't disappoint with a 38-point FanDuel performance. It remains to be seen if he'll stay in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers, but this certainly can't hurt his cause.
