3 years agoDenver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is out for Game 5 against Portland. This isn't a surprise, primarily since the veteran hasn't played in over a month while tending to a strained right hamstring. He was observed riding the bike on the sidelines during the Game 4 loss to the Blazers, which is good news, although there is still a good chance he won't be back anytime during this series. Nonetheless, even if Barton does return at some point, he likely won't see a full allotment of minutes. However, he may get enough to lessen the DFS potential of Austin Rivers, Facundo Campazzo, and Monte Morris.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
