Nnaji (shoulder) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji was unavailable Tuesday against Minnesota due to his shoulder injury, and he'll likely sit out a second consecutive game. If he's sidelined once again, DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green are candidates to see increased run.

Nnaji (shoulder) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to a right shoulder sprain. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Magic.

Nnaji is questionable for Tuesday's contest against Minnesota due to a shoulder sprain, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has appeared in 19 straight games for the Nuggets but appears to be at risk of missing Tuesday's outing due to a shoulder injury. If Nnaji is ultimately ruled out, the likes of DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green figure to see slightly more usage.

Nnaji will appear off the bench Saturday versus the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji claimed his third start in four games with Nikola Jokic out Wednesday, but he'll move back to the bench Saturday with Jokic set to reclaim his starting spot. Nnaji should see a slight decline in his minutes as a result, though he's off the radar in most fantasy formats regardless.

Nnaji is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets are set to rest almost their entire regular starting lineup, and this will lead to more minutes for Nnaji, who will start in the frontcourt alongside Aaron Gordon. This will be the fifth start of the campaign for Nnaji, who's averaging 8.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in that role.

Nnaji finished with four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 99-98 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Though Nnaji headed back to the bench after a two-game run as the Nuggets' starting center, he still saw some overlap with Nikola Jokic (hamstring), who played 36 minutes in his return to the court. At this point, Nnaji appears to have established himself as Jokic's top backup ahead of DeAndre Jordan, but Nnaji will likely lose out on opportunities to play more at power forward once Michael Porter (personal) is back in the fold.

Nnaji contributed 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 28 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Although Nnaji will never match the consistency of Nikola Jokic (hamstring), he's doing a respectable job of propping up the interior for the Nuggets. Sunday marked his first double-double of the season, but he will likely head back to the bench just as he begins to establish a rhythm. With that said, hamstring injuries tend to be unpredictable, so Nnaji may still hold some fantasy value during Denver's upcoming back-to-back, should Jokic sit out one-half of that set.

Nnaji logged seven points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 134-111 win over Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji replaced Nikola Jokic (hamstring) in the starting lineup Friday, ending with a low-volume, yet serviceable effort. Despite being a regular piece in the rotation, this was only the third time all season playing more than 25 minutes. Unfortunately, his typical role yields nothing more than top-250 value, making him an afterthought in most fantasy formats.

Nnaji will start Friday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji will draw a spot start with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) sidelined. The backup center has averaged 7.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 23.0 minutes across his previous two starts this year.

Nnaji ended Friday's 115-103 win over the Clippers with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 19 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets hope they never have to contend with a Nikola Jokic (wrist) absence, but bench warmers like Nnaji helped to ease the blow Friday. DeAndre Jordan couldn't get much going against his former team, allowing the Arizona product to see extra playing time. Although his fantasy impact is minimal, Nnaji's often seen in mop-up duty in a lopsided Denver victory in addition to some regular rotation minutes.
