5 years agoDenver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward Will Barton started hot and then even stepped things up even more once guard Jamal Murray exited the contest with a trunk contusion in the first quarter in Tuesday's loss. Barton played 40 minutes and connected on 10 of 19 shooting en route to a season-high 28 points and added seven rebounds, seven assists with two steals and two blocks. It is unclear whether Murray will miss any time, but if he does, we can expect Barton to see an uptick in usage with Monte Morris potentially starting, making Morris a speculative add in 12-team leagues.--Gianni Costantiello
