Will Barton expected to start for Denver's season opener on Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton is expected to start at shooting guard with Gary Harris out against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, per Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post.

What It Means:

Barton came into his own a bit in his first full season with the Nuggets last year, averaging 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 28.7 minutes per game.

Our models project Barton for 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 29 minutes tonight, making him one of the top daily fantasy values on the slate.
