Will Barton's strong defense not enough Monday as Nuggets lose in double-overtime

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton scored 22 points on 8-for-21 shooting Monday, to go with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 steals in a 149-141 double-overtime loss to the Miami Heat.

What It Means:

With Gary Harris unavailable to play for the next week, Barton could continue seeing big minutes for the Nuggets as they fight for a playoff spot. Look for Barton to stick in the starting lineup on Wednesday as the Nuggets play the Chicago Bulls.

Our early models for Wednesday project Barton for 29.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,600.
