Will Barton swipes career-high 5 steals in Nuggets' loss to Spurs

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton scored 13 points on 4-for-13 shooting Tuesday, to go with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and a career-high 5 steals over 39 minutes of a 106-104 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

What It Means:

Wilson Chandler was held out again, which led to Barton getting plenty of run with 39 minutes. Barton has now played at least 39 minutes in four straight games, and he'll be back on the court Thursday for what should be another heavy workload against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Our early models for Thursday project Barton for 28.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,000.
