Will Barton moves to the bench for Denver as Kenneth Faried starts against the Grizzlies

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton will move to the bench for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

What It Means:

Barton started while Denver went with a small-ball lineup on Wednesday, but Faried gets to fill Paul Millsap (wrist)'s spot tonight, starting against a bigger team in the Grizzlies. Barton should still see plenty of run off the bench.

Not yet accounting for his move to the bench, numberFire's models project Barton for 30.0 FanDuel points in 33.0 minutes of action tonight.
