Kenneth Faried: Will start Monday

Faried (groin) will start Monday versus the Hawks, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

After missing the Nuggets' previous contest, Faried was game-time decision heading into Monday's matchup with the Hawks. His groin must be feeling better as he is not only active Monday, but in the starting lineup. Darrell Arthur will take on a reserve role with Faried's return. Expect Faried to take on his usual workload Monday. He is posting 12.5 points, 8.9 boards, and 1.1 blocks in 26 minutes per game this season.
