Nuggets' Will Barton struggles with back issues, scores only 4 points on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton finished with 4 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds in 34.4 minutes of action before leaving with a back injury in Tuesday's win over the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

Barton played most of the game, leaving with only 4 minutes left in a blowout because of a lower back contusion. He is probable to suit up on Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics.

Assuming he plays, numberFire's models project Barton for 15.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 33.0 minutes of action tonight.
