Kenneth Faried starting for Nuggets, Wilson Chandler coming off bench
Denver Nuggets forward/center Kenneth Faried will move into the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Orlando Magic, sending Wilson Chandler to the bench.
What It Means:
This likely has to due with matchups against Orlando's frontcourt, rather than a permanent switch. Faried is averaging 9.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 15 starts this season.
numberFire's metrics project Faried for 9.9 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 23.1 minutes versus the Magic.
