Nnaji scored 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), tacking on five rebounds and a block in 20 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 101-98 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The second year Arizona product set a career high with 19 points. The void of Nikola Jokic (suspension) resulted in this opportunity, but Nnaji capitalized. He had played a combined 10 minutes over three appearances across the rest of the season. However, should Jokic miss time in the future, Nnaji is a name worth remembering in deeper leagues.
