EDGE Analysis

Barton served as a standout sidekick to Nikola Jokic, falling just one point behind the big man for team high-scoring honors. However, the Nuggets didn't have any other player score more than 10 points, leading to an 0-1 series deficit. Barton was the team's third-best scorer during the regular season and will be looked to for continued offensive production as the matchup against the Warriors progresses.
