Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting against Portland

Jordan is in the starting lineup to face the Trail Blazers on Saturday.

Jordan will get the starting nod at center due to the absence of Nikola Jokic (hip). Jordan has made just one start this season for the Nuggets, and he hasn't made much of an impact overall. In 30 appearances, he's averaging just 4.0 points and 4.4 rebounds across 11.2 minutes per game.
