Nnaji notched eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji was the best option off the bench for the Nuggets, turning in arguably his best all-around performance of the year. With Aaron Gordon sidelined, Nnaji has been able to step into an increased role. His offensive game still needs some work but he does have the ability to chip in across the board, making him a speculative short-term add, at least in deeper formats.

Nnaji will start Wednesday's game at Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji will make his first start of the season with Nikola Jokic (toe) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) sitting out Wednesday. JaMychal Green should also see more action for Denver, which will also be without Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in the frontcourt.

Nnaji amassed nine points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji continues to operate as Nikola Jokic's primary backup, which doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration. Nonetheless, over his last seven games, the 2020 first-round pick has averaged 8.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. He's making the most of his limited playing time, but there just isn't enough production to make rostering him worthwhile.
