Kenneth Faried (back) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's contest versus the Lakers

Faried (back) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's contest versus the Lakers, The Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Faried has missed Denver's last four games due to back soreness, but traveled with the Nuggets for their two-game Los Angeles road trip set to start Friday. That being said, Faried's status for Friday's tilt versus the Lakers remains in limbo, so his status will have to be monitored in advance of tipoff. Should Faried miss another game, Darrell Arthur would figure to earn another start, with Jusuf Nurkic and Joffrey Lauvergne candidates to see more playing time in that scenario as well.
