Randolph (ankle) took part in most of Tuesday's practice and is optimistic that he'll play Wednesday at Golden State, the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Randolph garnered his third DNP-CD in seven games this month, and in the remaining four contests, he's totaled 17 minutes. However, he recently drained the ankle, which has been a bother all season but doesn't require a walking boot anymore, forecasting an imminent return to action. If he does take the court Wednesday, he'll likely be eased into the forward rotation, though injuries to Wilson Chandler (hip), Darrell Arther (groin), and Danilo Gallinari (knee) could result in a modest workload right off the bat.
