What It Means:

Mudiay has missed six of the Nuggets' last 10 games and considering it's a back injury, rest is really the only cure. The Nuggets won't rush him back and if he can't go again on Wednesday, Jameer Nelson will get another start and Jamal Murray will have an expanded role.

If he does play, our models expect Mudiay to post 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 3-pointers over 28.7 minutes against the Hawks.
