Denver's Will Barton (back) doubtful on Thursday
Denver Nuggets guard / forward Will Barton (back) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Barton's status is in limbo after Denver's veteran missed two games with lower back pain. Expect Austin Rivers to play more minutes on Thursday night if Barton is not available against a Philly unit ranked 24th in defensive rating.
Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 155.4 minutes this season with Barton off the floor, Rivers is averaging 0.40 FanDuel points and 0.24 shot attempts per minute.
