Nuggets' Jameer Nelson: Will remain in the starting five Wednesday

Nelson will remain in the starting lineup at point guard for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Emmanuel Mudiay (back) is returning to action after missing the last five games, but he's expected to come off the bench and will be restricted to a 20-minute workload, so Nelson should still be in line for the bulk of the duties at point guard. That said, if Mudiay makes it through Wednesday's game without any setbacks, he could reclaim the starting role as soon as Friday against the Bucks, which would effectively close the window on Nelson's short-term fantasy appeal. Those who have been relying on Nelson of late shouldn't grow too attached to him.
