6 years agoDenver Nuggets small forward/shooting guard Will Barton chipped in 14 points, five rebounds and five assists along with one block over 26 minutes in Friday's victory over the Suns. The 6-foot-6 wing was 5-for-11 from the field, 1-for-5 from the three-point line and 3-or-3 from the free throw line. He made his first start since returning from injury after coming off the bench in the previous five games. His plus-28 rating was a team and personal season high as the 28-year-old has now recorded a positive rating in five of his eight contests this season. While the seventh-year pro has shot the ball inconsistently lately, with the past two games being an exception, Barton has done an excellent job rebounding and distributing the basketball. The Memphis product, who has made five of his last 10 three-point attempts, will look to score in double-figures for a third straight game against the 76ers on Saturday.--Daniel Benjamin
