Joffrey Lauvergne (back) out for Friday for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets center Joffrey Lauvergne (back) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Friday.
What It Means:
J.J. Hickson will replace Lauvergne in the starting lineup, where has filled in admirably for the past two games. The matchup against Dwight Howard and the Rockets will be a tough one.
Hickson is averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in two games as a starter. We currently project Hickson to play almost 25 minutes against the Rockets, recording 9.1 points and 7.4 rebounds.
