Kenneth Faried:

Faried had "dead legs" Tuesday night and played a mere 20 minutes as a result, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Faried had played at least 30 minutes in each of his last three games and pulled down a ridiculous 58 rebounds during that span, so it's understandable as to why he had tired legs. He won't have a ton of time to rest those legs however, as the Nuggets travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls on New Year's Day. Still, Faried's tired legs don't sound like much of a reason for concern at this point.
