3 years agoOn a night where the Denver Nuggets were without Michael Porter Jr. (back), Will Barton stepped up and played the role of Robin to Nikola Jokic's Batman in the Mile High City. In a 113-96 win over the Miami Heat, Barton played 35 minutes and recorded 25 points, six assists, five rebounds, a steal, and seven threes. The seven threes tied a career-high, and he last accomplished the feat in the 2019-20 season. With MPJ out for an undetermined amount of time, Barton could find himself in a familiar role as the second-best offensive option in Denver. He's still available in 25 percent of Yahoo leagues, and that should be at 100 percent soon with MPJ's absence and Nikola Jokic's likely suspension coming down the line.--Euan Leith
