Barton (hamstring) remains out for Saturday's Game 4 against the Trail Blazers, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Barton has been sidelined since April 23 due to a right hamstring strain.

In 31.0 minutes per game this season, Barton has averaged 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Barton was able to go through portions of Wednesday's practice, so he could have a shot at being ready to go for Saturday's Game 1.
