Kenneth Faried: (Back) Out Monday

Faried (back) won't suit up Monday in Toronto, TSN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Faried is missing back-to-back games due to a strained lower back, but because he was seemingly a game-time call Monday, a similar situation could come to pass for the Nuggets' next tilt Wednesday against the Heat. In his place, J.J. Hickson should garner another start at power forward.
