Nuggets' Kenneth Faried: Doubtful Monday vs. Lakers

Faried (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Lakers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Faried has missed the last eight games with back spasms, but the fact that he hasn't already been ruled out is encouraging in itself. That said, Faried is fully expected to miss Monday's outing, which should allow Wilson Chandler (groin) to draw another start as long as he's cleared from his own respective injury.
