Nuggets' Jameer Nelson: Will start Sunday

Nelson will start at shooting guard Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

The Nuggets didn't reveal who would start in place of the injured Gary Harris (ankle) until just before game time, and it turns out it will be Nelson getting the nod alongside Emmanuel Mudiay. Nelson reached double digits in points for the third time this season in the Nuggets' previous game Saturday against the Pistons, and will have a good chance at doing so again Sunday if he can approach 30 minutes.
