Nnaji is questionable to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji is questionable to miss his first game since Nov. 9. If Nnaji can't play Wednesday, his next opportunity will be in Friday's game against Atlanta.

Nnaji chipped in 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji stepped into a larger role with both Nikola Jokic (health and safety protocols) and Aaron Gordon (illness) on the sideline, putting up a season-high 13 points. While it is always nice to see fringe players getting an opportunity, given the fact he had failed to see more than nine minutes in any game prior to Wednesday, this is not something fantasy managers need to pay attention to moving forward.

Nnaji (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
After his status was updated to questionable Wednesday morning, it appears Nnaji will return from a two-game absence and be active for Wednesday's tilt with Indiana. Nnaji hasn't eclipsed the 10-minute mark in any of the five games he's appeared in this season, so his presence isn't likely to affect Denver's rotation much.

Nnaji (ankle) was upgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji has missed the last two games and was initially listed as doubtful for Wednesday's matchup. Even if he's unable to play against Indiana, it's encouraging that the Nuggets upgraded his status prior to tipoff.

Nnaji (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Nnaji will be held out as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. He was listed as doubtful Sunday, so this announcement is no big surprise. Nnaji's next chance to return will arrive Wednesday against the Pacers.

Nnaji (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji missed Saturday's game against the Spurs due to his ankle injury and will likely be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup. His status shouldn't significantly impact Denver's rotation.

Nnaji (ankle) will not suit up for Saturday's tilt against the Spurs, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji suffered a right ankle sprain in the first half of Thursday's game and failed to return to the contest. However, Nnaji does not factor into the rotation in most games, so his absence should not have much of a fantasy impact. His next chance to play will come Monday in a rematch against San Antonio.

Nnaji (ankle) is considered questionable to return Thursday against Oklahoma City, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji was forced to exit off the court and to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury in the first half of Thursday's game against the Thunder. If the forward is unable to return, expect DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green to see more minutes.

Nnaji (ankle) headed to the locker room in the first half of Thursday's game against the Thunder, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji was beginning to have his most productive game of the season Thursday before exiting to go to the Denver locker room with four points and five rebounds in five minutes of action. Expect DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green to see extended minutes if Nnaji can't return Thursday.
