Nnaji (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji picked up a knee contusion in Monday's game against the Lakers but has been given the green light Wednesday. He will likely maintain his role as a depth piece and play his typical 10-15 minutes.

Nnaji is considered probable for Wednesday's game versus the Suns despite a right knee contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji appears to be working through a minor knee bruise but doesn't look to be in danger of missing time. Assuming he suits up like usual versus Phoenix, the third-year forward should again slot in as a frontcourt bench piece.

Nnaji provided 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 122-91 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji had his best game of the season Thursday, cashing in as the second unit played out the entire second half. With the Nuggets up big, both teams opted to go with their fringe guys, providing managers with some confusing fantasy lines. Given Nnaji had played more than 15 minutes only once in the past five weeks, managers should feel pretty comfortable looking at this as an outlier, as opposed to what they can expect moving forward.

Nnaji will return to the second unit Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji received a pair of spot starts in the place of Aaron Gordon (shoulder), but with Gordon back he will shift back to the bench. Prior to the starting stint, Nnaji hadn't logged 15 minutes since Nov. 28.

Nnaji produced 14 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji has started the past two games with Aaron Gordon (shoulder) sidelined. After going 0-for-3 for zero points in 15 minutes during Tuesday's win, Nnaji impressed on the second night of the back-to-back. That said, his 31 minutes resulted from Jamal Murray (knee) and Bruce Brown (ankle) also missing Wednesday's effort. Once the team is healthier, Nnaji should go back to a minimal role.

Nnaji had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and six rebounds in 15 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 113-106 victory over Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji moved into the starting lineup Tuesday but laid an egg, failing to score in 15 minutes. This was simply a disaster for anyone who happened to stream him. Fouls were an issue throughout the game, perhaps giving him some reprieve when it comes to the wrath of fantasy managers. While he typically won't blow anyone away with his production, he should be better than this on most nights. If Aaron Gordon (shoulder) misses more time, Nnaji should at least remain on the streaming radar despite this performance.

Nnaji is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji will replace Aaron Gordon (shoulder) in the starting five Tuesday. The third-year forward will make his first start of the season.

Nnaji (finger) is available for Sunday's Christmas Day matchup against Phoenix, independent NBA writer T.J. McBride reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nnaji hurt his finger during Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, but he was probable ahead of Sunday's game and will officially be able to suit up. Coach Michael Malone said Nnaji won't face any restrictions against the Suns.

Nnaji is probable for Sunday's Christmas Day game against the Suns due to a sprained left finger.

EDGE Analysis

Putting aside Nnaji's sprained finger, which isn't expected to sideline him, the forward could see an expanded role over the next month while Jeff Green (hand, finger) is shelved. Nnaji's role has fluctuated based on the Nuggets' injury situation, but it seems possible he'll regularly begin seeing double-digit minutes. When seeing at least 10 minutes this year, he's averaged 6.7 points and 1.9 rebounds.

Nnaji (illness) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being considered questionable with an illness heading into the contest, Nnaji will be available to play for the Nuggets on Wednesday. The forward has averaged 5.4 points and 1.6 rebounds across 14 outings this year.
