Nuggets' Jameer Nelson: Expected to play Wednesday
Nelson (calf) will warmup with the intent to play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
Nelson has missed the last two games with a strained right calf, but it looks as though the point guard will return to his role as the team's starter in the backcourt. As a result, both Jamal Murray and Emmanuel Mudiay will likely take on reduced roles off the bench, but with both expected to still see time on the court Wednesday, Nelson may still not be at 100 percent. Additionally, the presence of all three could limit their respected fantasy values for Wednesday night.
