Caldwell-Pope (knee) will start Wednesday's opener against the Nuggets.

Analysis:

Caldwell-Pope strained his left knee during the preseason, causing him to miss a handful of exhibition games. However, he's feeling well enough to play Wednesday, and he figures to hold down the starting shooting guard spot until Jodie Meeks (back) returns, which may not be for another six or seven weeks.
