Arthur (knee) will be available Saturday against the Thunder, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the Nuggets will have Arthur available, which will help to soften the blow of being without Nikola Jokic, who is battling an illness. With Jokic out, Arthur could see a slight increase in minutes, though Jusuf Nurkic will be the primary beneficiary.

Arthur is considered probable for Saturday's game against the Thunder due to soreness in his left knee, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has averaged 12.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game over the past two games while Kenneth Faried (back) has been out. Arthur will likely be healthy enough to play in Saturday's game and could see another decent minutes portion if Faried is out once again.

Arthur started at power forward and provided 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one block across 19 minutes in a 127-99 loss to the Spurs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring a season-high 12 points off the bench in Tuesday's loss to the Kings, Arthur moved into the starting five in place of Wilson Chandler on Thursday and was able to establish a new high scoring total for the campaign. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, they were still routed by the Spurs in the second half to suffer their fourth consecutive loss, so it's not guaranteed that Arthur will continue to stick in the starting five going forward. However, Arthur's back-to-back strong outings could allow him to maintain a consistent 15-to-20-minute role for the time being if he ends up settling back on the bench Saturday against the Thunder.

Arthur is getting the start at power forward for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Harrison Wind of BSNDenver.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur will replace Wilson Chandler in the starting lineups, as the Nuggets are presumably looking to matchup with the size of LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol in the Spurs' frontcourt. While he should see an increased workload Thursday, Arthur figures to return to a reserve role going forward.

Arthur (knee) returned to the court and registered 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during a 120-113 loss to the Kings on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur went for season highs in points and three-pointers made after missing the previous four games. It was the first game of the season in which he has scored in double figures, and he may have benefited from Kenneth Faried's (back) absence. We'll see if Arthur can keep it going Thursday against the Spurs, but he'll likely need several Denver frontcourt players to get hurt before he can start posting significant value on a consistent basis.

Arthur (knee) will be available to play in Tuesday's matchup with the Kings, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has been sidelined for the Nuggets' last four contests, but after going through pregame warmups without any issues, he's now been given the green light to take the court. Kenneth Faried has been ruled out (back) Tuesday and while Wilson Chandler, Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic will likely soak up the majority of his minutes, Arthur could still see a slightly bigger role in the frontcourt.

Arthur (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has missed the last four games, and six of the last seven, with persistent soreness in his left knee. As has often been the case of late, the Nuggets will consider Arthur questionable and allow the big man to test out the knee in warmups before making a decision on his status.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur's right knee soreness will keep him sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest, but his absence won't have much of an impact on the Nuggets' frontcourt rotation with Nikola Jokic and Wilson Chandler continuing to start.

Arthur is dealing with knee soreness and considered questionable to play in Monday's game against the Warriors, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has been battling lingering soreness in his knee for much of the season and it appears to be an issue that might play a factor in his availability through the end of the season. The veteran has seen a total of just 15 minutes over Denver's last eight games, so even if he's available Monday, there's no guarantee for usage by coach Michael Malone.

Arthur will play a reserve role in Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the previous three games, Arthur will return to a reserve role Thursday. Head coach Mike Malone has opted to go small by starting Nikola Jokic and Wilson Chandler in the frontcourt. It is unclear how the minutes will be shared by Arthur, Kenneth Faried, and Jusuf Nurkic off the bench. The situation should be monitored going forward.
