Nuggets' Danilo Gallinari: Out Monday vs. Rockets

Gallinari (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.

Analysis:

Gallinari will miss his third straight contest due to a bone bruise in his left knee. He'll be joined on the bench by Wilson Chandler (groin) and Darrell Arthur (knee), which likely puts Juancho Hernangomez on track for another start at small forward. Will Barton should also benefit from an uptick in playing time while Gallinari remains on the bench.
