Sat Jan 24 201516:00Ty Lawson: (Personal) Will Play Sunday
Lawson (personal) will play Sunday against the Wizards, the Denver Post reports.
Lawson was arrested early Friday morning under the suspicion of DUI and was held out of Friday night's game against the Celtics as a result. However, it appears that both the Nuggets and the NBA will allow him to play for the time being while they contemplate a possible suspension.
Fri Jan 23 201519:03Ty Lawson: (Personal) Out Friday
Lawson will not play Friday after being arrested on suspicion of DUI earlier in the day, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
He is not suspended, he just is not with the team Friday. Lawson will rejoin the Nuggets on Saturday, and any punishment will be handed out by the league after his case is resolved. Look for Jameer Nelson to get the start at point guard Friday, and it sounds like Lawson will play Sunday against the Wizards, barring league action.
Fri Jan 23 201512:53Ty Lawson: Arrested On DUI Suspicion
Lawson was arrested on a suspicion of DUI charge in Denver on Friday morning, Denver Post writer Kieran Nicholson reports.
Denver police confirmed the arrest. If the charge sticks, it's obviously an extremely bad look for Lawson, both because of the charge itself and the fact that Denver plays against Boston on Friday. The Nuggets have yet to comment, and his status for Friday's game is not yet known. If Lawson sits, Jameer Nelson should take up a big role at point guard.

Lawson Struggled offensively in Tuesday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs, finishing with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 33 minutes.
Lawson simply just didn't shoot the ball as many times as he's been used to. He's averaging 13.3 field goal attempts per game, so considering he only shot the ball six times, fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. Expect him to get back towards his season average in shot attempts in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, which will then allow Lawson to score much closer to the 16.7 points per game average he's had so far this season.

While he leads the league in assists (10.1 assists per game) his low free throw percentage (71.6 percent) and lack of scoring from beyond the arc have him ranked outside the top 10 among point guards this season.
