Nuggets' Kenneth Faried: Comes through with second straight double-double

Faried amassed 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, four steals and one block across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 120-104 win over the Suns.

Analysis:

While it appeared Faried was in line for a big downgrade in his role after opening the season in a bench role, the failed experiment of Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic as a starting frontcourt has allowed Faried to regain prominence in fantasy circles. Faried has started the last three games while Jokic has transitioned to a bench role, turning in massive double-doubles in the last two games while making an impact in the steals and blocks departments. It looks like the Nuggets will stick with Faried on the top unit until further notice, so he's worth adding where available and should remain a mainstay in any fantasy lineup.
