Arthur (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has missed the last four games with a sore left knee, but it appears he's finally made enough progress to make a return to the court. If all goes well during pregame warmups, look for Arthur to be available off the bench Wednesday, although he usually doesn't see enough minutes to have any significant fantasy impact.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur will be missing a fourth straight game Tuesday, as he's yet to shake a lingering knee injury. With just six games left, it remains to be seen if Arthur will end up taking the floor again this season, but his next shot to play will be Wednesday against the Rockets. His absence shouldn't have a drastic impact on the team's regular rotation.

Arthur (knee) is considered questionable to play Tuesday against the Pelicans, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
A nagging knee issue has kept Arthur out of the last three games, and it caused him to miss five additional contests last month. When healthy, the 29-year-old typically receives a steady complement of minutes off the bench, but he rarely plays enough to warrant significant fantasy consideration. Expect Arthur's status to be updated after Tuesday's morning shootaround.

Arthur (knee) will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Heat, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's absence will mark a third straight game on the sidelines, as a lingering left knee injury continues to plague Arthur. Considering it's a lingering issue that's popped up multiple times this season, there's a chance he misses more time, but Arthur will continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis unless the team says otherwise.

Arthur (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Heat, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur continues to experience soreness in his left knee, having missed seven of the Nuggets' past nine contests. If he's able to return to Sunday, he likely won't be a focal point of the frontcourt rotation per usual.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's tilt with the Hornets, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur continues to miss time due to soreness in his left knee as Friday will mark his seventh absence in the past nine games. The Nuggets, who are scrambling for a playoff spot, will continue to rely on Juan Hernangomez off the bench with Arthur out.

Arthur (knee) is questionable for Friday's tilt with the Hornets, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the same knee that forced Arthur to miss four consecutive games earlier in March, so it's certainly concerning that it's back once again. That said, the fact that he's yet to be ruled out is at least encouraging that it isn't as serious and it could just be more precautionary than anything. Look for Arthur's status to be updated after Friday's morning shootaround.

Arthur (knee) played one minute in Wednesday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers, contributing no points, one rebound and one assist.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur was cleared to play following a four-game absence due to a sore left knee, but coach Michael Malone essentially kept him out of the rotation, as Juan Hernangomez (12 minutes) ended up seeing most of the time that would have normally fallen to him. Once Danilo Gallinari (knee) returns, it will be even more difficult for Arthur to find consistent burn off the bench, so he's not a strong hold in most deeper leagues.

Arthur (knee) will be active for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, T.J. McBride of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
As was expected after he was present for the Nuggets' morning shootaround, Arthur will suit up Wednesday, though it remains uncertain if coach Michael Malone will actually call his number off the bench. Arthur is averaging just 6.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.1 assists in 15.8 minutes per game over 37 appearances on the season, so there's little reason to roster him in most deeper leagues even though he's now presumably healthy again.

The Nuggets are optimistic that Arthur (knee) will be available Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur, who has been held out of the last four games with a sore left knee, is officially listed as questionable Wednesday, but if he's able to take part in shootaround without any complications, it's expected that he'll be available. Even if that's the case, coach Michael Malone likely wouldn't ask Arthur to play more than 20 minutes off the bench, so he won't warrant much consideration in DFS contests.
