The Nuggets could be even more shorthanded when they square off against Charlotte rebounding machine Dwight Howard on Monday night.
Mason Plumlee remains out with a calf strain, while Wilson Chandler (illness) and Darrell Arthur (knee soreness) both missed Denver’s morning shootaround Monday. Chandler, who started in Saturday’s win over Golden State after receiving a pregame IV, is officially listed as probable to play against the Hornets, while Arthur is listed as questionable. Kenneth Faried, who did not play Saturday against Golden State, is the most logical candidate to see more playing time if Arthur and/or Chandler cannot play.
