Nuggets' Will Barton: Will rejoin starting five Monday

Barton will rejoin the starting five for Monday's game against the Warriors, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

The Nuggets are dealing with a slew of injuries Monday, including the likes of Danilo Gallinari (groin), Wilson Chandler (illness), Kenneth Faried (ankle), Emmanuel Mudiay (back) and Darrell Arthur (knee). That leaves only nine active bodies available for the Nuggets, so Barton should pick up a ton of minutes while working with the top unit. Barton has posted some big lines while seeing extended minutes this season and will likely be a great DFS play in the short term while the Nuggets are still short on depth.
