Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as probable heading into this contest, but it appears the Nuggets are going to take the cautious approach. Bryn Forbes and Facundo Campazzo should be asked to play more without Barton in the lineup. Campazzo is the better streaming choice between the two, but neither are great options. Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon should be tasked with doing more on offense with Barton sidelined.

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Will Barton has landed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely. Barton has enjoyed another solid season among Denver's starting five, as he is on pace to set new career bests with 4.2 assists and 2.3 made triples per outing. Without him in the mix, the backcourt group of Facundo Campazzo, Austin Rivers, and Bones Hyland can all be seen as upside DFS options, while Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic could take on larger scoring roles. The Nuggets are slated to play four games this week, all of which come against prospective playoff contenders.

Denver Nuggets forwards Aaron Gordon (back) and Will Barton (illness) will both play and start Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both players were probable coming into the contest so this does not come as a surprise. However, the Nuggets will get Barton back after a two-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. Davon Reed started in Barton's absence, but will move back to the bench with Barton back in action.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) will not play Monday against the Washington Wizards. Barton missed Saturday's game and will sit again on Monday with a non-COVID illness after missing shootaround. Davon Reed started on Saturday but only played 16 minutes while Markus Howard caught fire for 21 points in 21 minutes off the bench. Nikola Jokic will likely absorb even more usage on Monday with Aaron Gordon (back) also banged up.

Denver Nuggets forwards Aaron Gordon (back) and Will Barton (illness) are both trending toward game-time calls Monday against the Washington Wizards. Gordon popped up on today's injury report with some back pain, but was able to go through shootaround. Barton, on the other hand, is dealing with a non-COVID illness and was not present at the shootaround. The Nuggets have a late game start so we will not know their statuses until closer to tip-off.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (illness) is listed questionable for Monday's matchup against Washington. He was a late scratch for Saturday's win over San Antonio and Davon Reed moved into the starting lineup. He didn't do a lot in 17 minutes of action and Markus Howard and Bones Hyland performed much better off the bench, combining for 37 points. Howard generally doesn't feature much for the team and Hyland looks set to benefit the most from Barton's absence.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This shouldn't come as much of a shock considering he was downgraded earlier in the day. Although, it is a significant blow to the Nuggets since Barton was their second-most reliable scorer. His absence should mean more minutes and touches for Bones Hyland. He should be an interesting streaming option for Saturday and possibly a DFS choice as well.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was previously listed as probable, but it sounds like Barton is still feeling under the weather. That being said, the Nuggets might take the cautious approach and hold him out of this one. Bones Hyland should see additional minutes and be worth possibly streaming on Saturday with the Nuggets being shorthanded.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been dealing with a right knee contusion, but appears fine for this matchup. That being said, fantasy managers should make sure Barton is in their lineups for Thursday's slate. He should be the second scoring option on the team behind Nikola Jokic. That also means, Barton should be a solid bet for DFS contests on Thursday.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton had a difficult shooting night against New Orleans on Wednesday but still managed to rack up 20 points in an overtime win. The 30-year-old shot a poor 7-for-18 from the field but made some proper damage from outside, going 4-for-7 with the three-ball. Barton dished out six assists with three turnovers and capped off his line with three rebounds, one steal and one block. His shooting had been off in every game this month, so Barton is currently struggling to find his rhythm, but he always finds ways to be useful for the team. He will finish the week with a couple of games against the Spurs, who are a mediocre defensive team, so maybe this will help Barton to get back to efficient scoring.

Before Thursday's 103-89 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets wing Will Barton (back) was doubtful for the contest. However, he was upgraded to active for the game and produced, arguably, his best outing of the year. In 34 minutes, Barton scored 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting, with nine rebounds, eight assists, and four three-pointers. The 30-year old is averaging 4.25 three-pointers per game over his previous four games and is hitting 45.8 percent of his deep ball attempts in November. Denver plays again on Friday against Chicago, so it'll be worth monitoring Barton's injury status if there is a flare-up after his big Thursday night.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding Barton's status lately. He continues to nurse a lower back issue, but head coach Mike Malone mentioned Barton could be sidelined for the foreseeable future. In the meantime, Bones Hyland (ankle) is listed as probable and has strong streaming appeal without Barton on the court.

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Will Barton (back) has been listed as doubtful to suit up for Thursday's contest against Philadelphia, but it comes with a caveat. After having been probable to play earlier Wednesday, head coach Michael Malone reiterated later in the day that "[Barton] looked good" during the practice work that he did. Back pain has cost Barton each of Denver's two previous contests, paving the way for Austin Rivers to step into the starting five. Rivers would retain DFS appeal should Barton be unable to take the floor, but it's certainly a situation worth monitoring Thursday, which marks the first day of a back-to-back for the Nuggets.

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Will Barton (back) and power forward/center Zeke Nnaji (ankle) have both been deemed unavailable to suit up for Monday's game against the Mavericks. Barton, who entered the day with a doubtful designation, isn't a surprising absence, with his back issue paving the way for Austin Rivers to draw another start, thereby becoming an appealing DFS play. Barton has seen his fantasy upside elevated in the absence of Michael Porter Jr. (back) with a 25 and 30-point performance under his belt in the past week. The next opportunity that Barton or Nnaji will have to return to action comes Thursday vs. Philadelphia.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He did not suit up for Sunday's game due to lower back pain. There's a good chance that Barton sits out again on Monday. That will mean Austin Rivers will likely move into the starting five again. He could have some low-end streaming appeal while Barton is sidelined.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton led the way for his team in Wednesday's victory over the Pacers. Barton scored a season-high 30 points, draining 11 of 19 attempts from the field while shooting 6-for-9 from three-point land. The veteran forward chipped in three assists and a pair of steals in 34 minutes. Barton was the undisputed number-one option against Indiana with Nikola Jokic suspended for one game and Michael Porter Jr. (back) out indefinitely- and he did not disappoint. Barton is averaging 24 points, 5.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 triples, and 2.0 steals per game in his last four contests. Needless to say, he is a must-add if still available, even when Porter returns.

On a night where the Denver Nuggets were without Michael Porter Jr. (back), Will Barton stepped up and played the role of Robin to Nikola Jokic's Batman in the Mile High City. In a 113-96 win over the Miami Heat, Barton played 35 minutes and recorded 25 points, six assists, five rebounds, a steal, and seven threes. The seven threes tied a career-high, and he last accomplished the feat in the 2019-20 season. With MPJ out for an undetermined amount of time, Barton could find himself in a familiar role as the second-best offensive option in Denver. He's still available in 25 percent of Yahoo leagues, and that should be at 100 percent soon with MPJ's absence and Nikola Jokic's likely suspension coming down the line.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton did a little bit of everything in Saturday's 95-94 win over Houston, scoring 15 points on 7-for-19 shooting and registering seven rebounds and six assists with one steal, one block and one turnover in 37 minutes. Barton ended up taking the most shots on the team after Michael Porter Jr. (back) was forced to exit the game early and Nikola Jokic spent a lot of time at the charity stripe. Sadly, he couldn't find his three-point range and ended up going 1-for-8 from outside. Barton has been a busy man early in the campaign and continues to rack up stats in various categories. There's no rest for him either, with Denver heading into a four-game week.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton had an impressive bounce-back performance against Memphis on Wednesday, scoring 26 points on 11-for-21 shooting after dropping a four-point dud in the same matchup earlier in the week. He was 4-for-9 with the triples and dished out a team-high seven assists with three rebounds, two steals, one block and two turnovers in 40 minutes. Barton is a very versatile guy, so him filling it up across the board shouldn't catch anyone by surprise. He's averaging a nice 15-4-4 line for the season. The Nuggets close out the week in a big pace-up spot against Houston, which should help everyone to fill up their stat sheet on Saturday.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton totaled 20 points with six rebounds, five assists, four triples, and a steal in a 110-98 win over Phoenix. Barton seems likely to take on some of the usage available with Jamal Murray (knee) sidelined, as he played 34 minutes, tied for second on the team, and took 14 shots, also ranking second. Michael Porter Jr. will have better nights, as will Aaron Gorson- though it's reasonable to expect nights like this from Barton moving forward. He could warrant some DFS consideration as a result of his increased role.
