Joffrey Lauvergne started and double-doubled in the Nuggets’ 114-108 win over the Rockets on Monday, scoring 14 points with 11 rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes.

Lauvergne has been a bit snake-bitten to start the year and we figured that once his illness cleared up that he had a good chance to make some noise.  He’ll typically sprinkle in some money counting stats so we’re not worried about his goose-egg there, and he’s shown enough promise to be a mid-level stash and/or low-end contributor right now.
