Nuggets' Paul Millsap struggles from the field, plays only 20 minutes as Nuggets fall to Dallas

Denver Nuggets forward/center Paul Millsap finished with 12 points on only 3-of-10 shooting, adding 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal in 19.9 minutes of action in Tuesday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

What It Means:

Those were the fewest minutes Millsap has played since returning from surgery at the end of February. He got into foul trouble in this game, picking up five, but those reduced minutes mean he shouldn't be limited much on the second half of a back-to-back on Wednesday.

numberFire's models project Millsap for 15.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 28.4 minutes of action against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
