Nuggets' Danilo Gallinari: Questionable Friday vs. Pacers

Gallinari (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Gallinari has missed the last four games with a bone bruise in his left knee, but the Nuggets seem to be more optimistic that he might be able to take the floor Friday, which would put the team back to full strength on the health front. The team will likely have official word on Gallinari's status following morning shootaround, but if he's cleared to play, he'd presumably reenter the starting lineup at small forward, pushing either Wilson Chandler or Mason Plumlee to the bench. Regardless of which player gets demoted, both would be in store for reductions in playing time, as would Will Barton and Juancho Hernangomez.
