Nuggets' Jameer Nelson: Active and available to play Monday

Nelson (hip) is active and available to play in Monday's matchup with the Lakers, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.

Analysis:

Nelson recently dealt with a right hip flexor strain, but it's reportedly nothing serious, so he'll play through the injury Monday and won't miss any time. As of now, Nelson is expected to start at point guard like usual, but that could change if the Nuggets want to limit his minutes, so it will be a situation to monitor up until tip. If Nelson is limited in anyway, Jamal Murray would likely pick up the bulk of the minutes.
