Nuggets' Kenneth Faried: Questionable Friday with shoulder contusion

Faried is dealing with a left shoulder contusion and is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.

Analysis:

Faried, who attended college at Morehead State in Kentucky, will have a large contingent of family and friends on hand as the Nuggets play in nearby Indianapolis, so look for him to campaign heavily to coach Michael Malone to suit up Friday. Given that the injury-prone Faried has only recently returned from an extended absence due to back spasms, however, there's always the possibility that the Nuggets err on the side of caution and hold him out. Faried won't merit much consideration in DFS contests anyway if he plays Friday, as the Nuggets will welcome back Danilo Gallinari (knee), which will result in just about all of the team's forwards sacrificing some playing time.
