Nuggets' Will Barton: Questionable Friday vs. Pelicans

Barton (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Barton has missed the last four games with a sore left foot, and with the Nuggets fighting tooth and nail for the final playoff seed in the West, the team likely wants to have him back as soon as possible. Look for Barton's status to be updated after Friday's morning shootaround, but if he fails to show enough improvement with the foot and is held out again, Wilson Chandler would remain in line for a more focal role as the go-to scoring option for the second unit.
