Impact Barton scored 20 points for the first time since Feb. 24, when he erupted for 31 points against the Kings. While he was a bit quiet in terms of rebounds and assists, it's nice to see a strong scoring outburst following a three-game absence earlier in the month due to an ankle injury.

Impact After missing the last three games with an ankle injury, Barton returned to the Denver lineup and appeared to be back in his usual form.

Listed as questionable Barton (ankle) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Warriors, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Barton sprained his left ankle during Sunday's overtime win over the Pelicans, but Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after the game that the issue doesn't appear to be too serious.

Status iffy for Monday Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said after Sunday's 138-130 overtime win over the Pelicans that the sprained left ankle Barton sustained in the contest doesn't appear too serious...
Impact Before exiting with the injury, Barton tallied nine points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 24 minutes. Though initial evaluations of Barton's injured ankle are promising, the 31-year-old still looks uncertain to play in the second half of the Nuggets' back-to-back set Monday versus Golden State. If Barton is out, Denver would likely turn to a committee of Austin Rivers, Bryn Forbes and Bones Hyland to cover his minutes.

Running cold from distance Barton finished with six points (1-10 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes Wednesday in the Nuggets' 119-107 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Barton has been limited to just nine points between his last two games, largely a result of his ice-cold shooting from downtown. He's gone 0-for-14 on three-point attempts during that two-game stretch, dropping his season-long rate from 37.3 percent to 35.7. Barton's track record suggests he should bounce back sooner or later, and a matchup Friday with a Hornets squad that allows the second-most three-pointers per game (13.9) represents a good opportunity for 31-year-old to correct course.
