Nuggets taking on Toronto without Will Barton (ankle)

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (ankle) has been ruled out versus the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.

What It Means:

Barton is day-to-day. Jameer Nelson and Emmanuel Mudiay shared 26 minutes together on Wednesday night, so expect more of the same against the Raptors for tonight's matchup. Our models expect Mudiay to score more fantasy points, but believe Nelson will return better value at his $3,800 price tag.

numberFire's metrics project Mudiay to turn in 13.9 points, 5.7 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.3 3-pointers against the Raptors. Nelson is pegged for 10.1 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.3 3-pointers.
