Austin Rivers starting for Nuggets Sunday in place of injured Jeff Green
Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers will start Sunday in the team's game against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Jeff Green - as well as JaMychal Green - has been ruled out of action for Sunday night's contest. As a result, there is a vacancy in the starting five. For now, that role will go to Rivers. He'll get the nod on the wing alongside Will Barton and Aaron Gordon.
Our models project Rivers for 9.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 16.6 FanDuel points across 25.0 minutes of action.
