Nuggets' Vlatko Cancar filling in with starters Wednesday
Denver Nuggets small forward Vlatko Cancar is in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Nuggets are starting Bruce Brown, Christian Braun, Cancar, Aaron Gordon, and Zeke Nnaji on Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back. It will be Cancar's first start of the season and he should see plenty of opportunities with Nikola Jokic (hamstring), Jamal Murray (knee), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist), and Michael Porter Jr. (personal) all unavailable.
Cancar is numberFire's third-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's 10-game slate. He has a $3,800 salary and is projected for 23.0 FanDuel points over 28.1 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nuggets have the lowest implied total (109.25) on the board, but there will be an abundance of opportunities available.
