Kenneth Faried (illness) now expected to play for Denver on Thursday night
Denver Nuggets forward/center Kenneth Faried (illness) is now expected to play on Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers.
What It Means:
Nikola Jokic is returning to the Nuggets' lineup on Thursday, so Faried will be competing with Jusuf Nurkic for backup minutes at the five. However, with Wilson Chandler (illness) and Darrell Arthur (leg) both questionable, more playing time could be up for grabs.
numberFire's algorithms currently project Faried for 9.7 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 23.4 minutes on Thursday night.
