Vlatko Cancar starting for Nuggets Thursday in place of injured Aaron Gordon

Denver Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar will start Thursday in the team's game against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Cancar comes off the bench when the Nuggets are at full strength. However, they won't be on Thursday against the defending champions. Aaron Gordon has been ruled out of action due to a sprained left ankle, and as a result, Cancar will start on the wing.

In 36 games this season, Cancar is averaging 4.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 10.2 FanDuel points.
