Arthur is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a strained quad, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first we've heard of the injury, but considering Arthur is considered questionable on the second night of a back-to-back, it's likely nothing serious. The former Kansas standout played just 10 minutes against Boston on Wednesday night, going scoreless (0-3 FG) with a pair of rebounds and an assist. Check back closer to game-time for an update on Arthur's status.

Arthur will start Saturday's game against the Pistons, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kenneth Faried out due to soreness in his left adductor, Arthur will be afforded another opportunity to enter the starting lineup. In nine previous nods this season, Arthur averaged 12.9 points (on 57 percent shooting), 6.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals, 1.1 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 0.8 three-pointers in 28 minutes.

Arthur will move to the bench Sunday against the Pacers, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur will ultimately play second fiddle to Kenneth Faried at power forward Sunday as Nikola Jokic enters the starting lineup in place of Jusuf Nurkic (knee). However, Arthur could still certainly see his average of 20 minutes per game Sunday, despite being demoted to the bench.

Arthur tallied 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and two steals over 30 minutes in Friday's 98-95 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

The seven-year veteran drew the start at center and posted 18 points for the second consecutive game, while once enjoying an excellent night from the field. Arthur now has four double-digit scoring efforts in seven January contests, and could continue to draw starts while Jusuf Nurkic recovers from his most recent knee ailment and Nikola Jokic comes off the bench.

Arthur will draw the start Friday versus the Heat, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur will replace Nikola Jokic in the starting line up Friday. Arthur came off the bench Wednesday versus the Nuggets, but started the two previous games before that. The starting power forward situation overall for Denver is very fluid and something to monitor going forward.

Arthur recorded 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 26 minutes during the Nuggets' 91-84 loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur earned the start with Kenneth Faried missing the game to attend the birth of his child. Faried will likely be ready to return for Sunday's showdown with the Hornets, moving Arthur back to the bench while sapping his fantasy appeal.

Arthur is expected to start in Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kenneth Faried missing the game to attend to the birth of his child, Arthur is expected to move into the starting lineup in his place. Arthur is averaging just under 20 minutes per game this season, but could see that number increase with Faried out of the lineup. Look for Arthur to return to a bench role on Sunday when Faried is expected to return.

Arthur collected 12 points (6-9 FG) and four rebounds over 17 minutes in Saturday's 111-108 overtime loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

The seven-year veteran may be in line for some extended minutes over the next few games if Kenneth Faried (neck) remains sidelined. Arthur's solid shooting night helped net him only his second double-digit scoring performance over the last 12 games that he's participated in. If he does draw some starting assignments in Faried's stead, Arthur may become a short-term fantasy option for those desperate for some forward help, and a solid near-minimum option in daily formats. He's tallied double-digit scoring efforts in five of the last 11 games he's received 20 minutes or more in, including one double-double.

Arthur (knee) grabbed a double-double for 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal in 28 minutes in Wednesday's 104-96 win against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

He hurt his knee in Tuesday's game against the Lakers but appeared to be fine in Wednesday's game. Still, he can't be trusted for this kind of consistency throughout the year, given the fact that the Nuggets have several big men on the roster, some of whom come in and out of injuries sporadically.

Arthur (knee) played 20 minutes in his return to action during Tuesday's 111-107 loss to the Lakers and finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, and one assist.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur didn't miss any further game action after exiting Sunday's contest against the Pelicans in the first quarter with a sore knee. He saw a fairly typical amount of run off the bench Tuesday, so it doesn't look like he'll face any further limitations in the subsequent contests to come.
