Nuggets' Danilo Gallinari: Will play Monday vs. Magic

Gallinari (ankle) will start at small forward in Monday's matchup with the Magic, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Gallinari has recently dealt with a sore ankle, but hasn't been forced to miss any time with the injury. Though he may not quite be 100 percent healthy, he'll be able to play through any lingering pain and shouldn't see his production affected as a result. Over his first five appearances in January, Gallinari is averaging 18.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 2.2 assists in 31.6 minutes per game.
