Denver Nuggets point guard Emmanuel Mudiay (back) said he's not expecting to play on Monday versus the Golden State Warriors.
Jameer Nelson has stepped up with strong play in Denver's first unit, so they can afford to play it safe. Jamal Murray will play backup point again if Mudiay sits.
numberFire's models have Nelson down for 35.9 minutes on Monday night with Mudiay out, and we project him to record 12.2 points, 6.6 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.7 3-pointers.
