Nnaji has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to a stomach illness.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji is one of two players who won't be able to suit up for the Nuggets due to a stomach bug. Michael Porter could see slightly increased run in his absence.

Nnaji will come off the bench Tuesday against Portland, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old played 30 minutes in a spot start Sunday, but Monte Morris will start Tuesday with Paul Millsap (knee), Gary Harris (thigh) and JaMychal Green (shoulder) still sidelined. Nnaji could still be included in the rotation off the bench, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy appeal.

Nnaji could be in line for another start Tuesday against Portland with Paul Millsap (knee), Gary Harris (thigh) and JaMychal Green (shoulder) all ruled out.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie out of Arizona made his first career start and played a season-high 30 minutes in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, finishing with seven points, three rebounds and one assist. Given the rash of injuries, Nnaji could again be the next man up at power forward, though after Sunday's mediocre showing, he doesn't have a ton of appeal as a low-cost DFS option.

Nnaji recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes in Sunday's 123-115 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji drew his first career start against Atlanta on Sunday, and he played a career-high 30 minutes in the loss. However, he had a low shot volume and was unable to generate excessive fantasy production as a starter. Nnaji has had more playing time with Paul Millsap (knee) sidelined, but he's still had fairly minimal output for the Nuggets.

Nnaji is starting Sunday's game against Atlanta, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji will make his first career start Sunday with Paul Millsap (knee) and JaMychal Green (shoulder) unavailable. He's averaging just 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds over 15.0 minutes per game across the past five contests but could see increased output Sunday.

Nnaji had 16 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes Sunday in a 122-105 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Most of Nnaji's minutes have come in garbage time this season, but Paul Millsap's (knee) first-half exit opened up more playing time for the rookie while the contest was still competitive. Nnaji stepped up to deliver an excellent outing off the bench, leading the Nuggets reserves in scoring with a new career-high mark. If Millsap's injury sidelines him during the Nuggets' upcoming four-game week, Nnaji should get a look in head coach Michael Malone's rotation.

Nnaji posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and one rebound through 19 minutes in the 133-95 win over Cleveland on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nnaji has barely seen the court this season, but he shined in his big moment. With Denver already up by a landslide, the rookie got his chance to truly show what he is capable of. He was terrific from the arc and in general from the floor. However, he did not produce much outside of the shooting department. It is unknown how much time he will see the rest of the season. Keep tabs on him moving forward.
