Nuggets' Will Barton: Fills the box score in loss

Barton scored 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to the Nets.

Analysis:

Barton has been on a roll since missing three games following a setback with his ankle. Coach Michael Malone has handed Barton at least 33 minutes in each of his first four games back from the injury, with the starting shooting guard averaging 18.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks. Turnovers have been an issue, however, with Barton recording four or more in three of those contests, but that's a small price for fantasy owners to pay when Barton is filling up the stat sheet in multiple categories.
