Arthur (knee) is active and available to play in Tuesday's matchup with the Lakers, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur left Sunday's game with some soreness in his right knee. He went through morning shootaround without any issues and he'll be available to play in Tuesday's outing with the Lakers. If he's feeling 100 percent, Arthur could see some extra minutes in the frontcourt, as Danilo Gallinari is out with an ankle injury.

Arthur departed Sunday's game with right knee soreness and will not return, Pelicans radio host Daniel Sallerson reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has been battling an issue with his left knee for the past two weeks, and he missed two games due to the injury earlier in the month. The forward lasted only six minutes Sunday against New Orleans, as he departed at the end of the first quarter with the announcement that he would not return to the game coming shortly after. Consider Arthur questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Lakers, which falls on the front end of a back-to-back. Denver finishes out the pre-Christmas portion of its schedule Wednesday night in Phoenix.

Arthur (knee) is active and available to play in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Kosmicki of Mile High Sports Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur injured his knee a week ago, but he felt good enough during morning shootaround Tuesday, that he'll attempt to play against the Timberwolves. If he does indeed play, he could take a few minutes away from the likes of Joffrey Lauvergne, Nikola Jokic and Kostas Papanikolau. So far this season, Arthur is averaging 6.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists over 20 minutes per game.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Rockets, the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur injured his knee against the Magic last Tuesday, which has prevented him from playing and practicing recently. While the veteran has been ruled out for Monday, it's unclear whether his injury will linger longer, so it'd be worthwhile to check back on his status ahead of Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

Arthur (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur was unable to practice Sunday, but the Nuggets will likely reevaluate him closer to game time before making a ruling on his status for the contest. The veteran forward sat out last Friday's game against the Timberwolves, and if he remains sidelined again, a few additional frontcourt minutes would be available for Joffrey Lauvergne, Nikola Jokic, and Kostas Papanikolaou.

Arthur (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sore right knee, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury forced Arthur to exit Tuesday's game against the Magic after playing just seven minutes. Arthur has since lost out on his starting power forward job with Kenneth Faried returning to action, sapping most of the fantasy value he may have previously enjoyed in deeper leagues.

Arthur will not return to Tuesday's game against Orlando due to soreness in his right knee, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur had reportedly been dealing with some lingering knee soreness coming into Tuesday's game and appears to have aggravated the ailment. His next chance to get back on the court will come Friday against Minnesota, but if he is unable to go against the Timberwolves, the Nuggets will have to make some adjustments to their front court rotation. They could switch to a smaller lineup or use Joffrey Lauvergne as a big off the bench should Arthur miss Friday's game.

Arthur posted 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks in 27 minutes in Thursday's 106-105 win against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
The Nuggets have been playing around with their front court rotation over recent games, and it appears Thursday's arrangement could be a solution, as they snapped an eight-game losing streak against the Raptors. Arthur has the potential to score, grab steals, block shots, and occasionally hit threes, and if he sees over 25 minutes a night, he could be considered a sneaky grab in deeper formats. That being said, both J.J. Hickson and Jusuf Nurkic are nursing injuries, so it's hard to conclude that Arthur's value will be long-term.

Arthur returned to a bench role in Monday's 92-74 loss to the Bucks, finishing with four points (2-5 FG), three rebounds, and two steals over 21 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Nuggets' blowout loss allowed Kenneth Faried (23 minutes) and Arthur to see comparable playing time, but the difference should be more drastic in the games to come now that Faried is seemingly close to full health after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury. Arthur should continue to hold down a rotation spot, but with a 25-plus minute role no longer awaiting him, his minimal fantasy value takes a hit.
