Barton (knee) has been taken off the injury report and will be active for Saturday's matchup against the Suns, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Wednesday's win against the Jazz due to inflammation in his knee, Barton will suit up against the Suns on Saturday. Considering that the 29-year-old was only forced to miss one game, expect the Nuggets to plug him right back into the starting role that he has filled all season.

Barton (knee) was ruled out for Wednesday's game at Utah, T.J. McBride of MileHighSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barton was considered "highly doubtful" for Wednesday's contest, so it's no surprise he won't be suiting up. The Grizzlies will have only seven active players due to Tuesday's trade and injuries to Jerami Grant (ankle), Michael Porter (ankle) and Paul Millsap (knee).

Barton (knee) is "highly doubtful" for Wednesday's game against Utah according to coach Michael Malone, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears as though Barton will miss his first game after being added to the injury report with right knee inflammation. Assuming he's held out, Michael Porter (ankle), Torrey Craig and Vlatko Cancar would all be in line for extended minutes.

Barton (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Barton emerged from Tuesday's win over the Trail Blazers with some right knee inflammation, leaving his status murky for the second half of Denver's back-to-back set. Look for his status to clear up closer to tip-off. Over his past five games, Barton is averaging 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 32.4 minutes.

Barton posted 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 128-123 overtime loss at Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Barton scored at least 20 points for a second straight contest, and he's been a fairly reliable scoring threat on a Nuggets team that has lacked Paul Millsap (knee), Jamal Murray (ankle) and Gary Harris (personal reasons) for the better part of the last few weeks. The continued absence of three starters should bump Barton's usage rate, thus increasing his scoring at least for the short term. His last 10 games have seen Barton average 16.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals -- a well-rounded fantasy line.

Barton posted nine points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Barton couldn't find his shot on the road against a streaking Grizzlies team, but he still managed to rack up 27.9 fantasy points through a balanced effort. He'll look to find the bottom of the net Thursday when the Nuggets are at home against the Jazz, who are on the second night of a back-to-back.

Barton had 31 points (11-20 FG, 7-10 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, one steal and one block in 43 minutes during Thursday's 134-131 win at Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Barton needed a game like this to gain some of his confidence back -- since missing the game at Dallas on Jan. 8, Barton was shooting just 34.2 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from deep prior to this contests although this impressive effort against the Warriors should boost him up moving forward. Barton, who has topped the 15-point plateau thrice during his last five outings, will try to build on this performance ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Pacers.

Barton had 18 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3PT, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 111-103 loss against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Barton returned to the starting lineup after missing just one game, and he continued his strong run of play, as he has registered 10 or more points and at least nine rebounds in four of his last five contests. He also extended his double-digit scoring streak to 11 games. Barton is averaging 15.4 points during that 11-game stretch, though he needs to improve his efficiency since he is making just 21.3 percent of his threes during that span.

Barton (personal) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Barton missed Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks due to a personal issue, but he'll be ready to go for Saturday's contest. He's averaging 16.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists over his last five games.

The Nuggets have ruled Barton out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to personal reasons, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets do not play again until Saturday, so Barton will have a few days to take care of whatever personal matter he is dealing with. In the meantime, Michael Porter Jr and Torrey Craig figure to see increased roles as a result of his absence.
