Faried (back) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports."I think he's going to have a hard time being able to go," said coach Mike Malone on Thursday.

Analysis:

Faried's back tightened up on him Tuesday against the Magic, limiting him to just 15 minutes in that game. Apparently, he's still hindered by the injury, and it appears unlikely that he'd be able to play Thursday, and even if he was able to go, it seems that he'd be very limited. Darrell Arthur or Joffrey Lauvergne are the likeliest candidates to start if Faried is unable to play.
