Punt Play of the Night: Joffrey Lauvergne, Denver Nuggets ($3,900) vs. Orlando.

Lauvergne was sidelined for nearly a month with a back issue, but like Quinn on Homeland he is a capable resource that just needs to get healthy again. The Frenchman posted a double-double in the team’s surprise win at Toronto but was promptly limited to nine minutes in the subsequent day game.

The team has had three days off since Lauvergne’s cameo appearance, so hopefully he should be ready for another 20-25 minute run against an Orlando team that’s in the lower third against opposing centers.
