Danilo Gallinari starting for Nuggets, Mason Plumlee to bench
Denver Nuggets small forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) will start and forward/center Mason Plumlee will move to the bench for Friday against the Indiana Pacers.
Wilson Chandler will join Gallinari as Denver's other starting forward. There shouldn't be any minutes limit for Gallinari, who is returning from a four-game absence, but he'll cut into the playing times of Plumlee and Kenneth Faried (shoulder).
numberFire's models project Gallinari to turn in 18.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 3-pointers in 33.8 minutes on Friday night.
