Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Not starting vs. Warriors
Nnaji is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors.
The Nuggets rested their entire starting unit against the Spurs on Wednesday but will be close to full strength for this contest, so Nnaji returns to the bench. The former Arizona standout could be an option to provide depth in the frontcourt, but he's not likely to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Starting Wednesday
Nnaji will be in the starting lineup for the Nuggets on Wednesday against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Nnaji will be a starter Wednesday for the fourth time this season. In his three previous starts for Denver, the 23-year-old big man averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 65 percent from the floor and 60 percent from deep.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Busy night on defense
Nnaji contributed 10 points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 17 minutes off the bench during Friday's 129-93 victory over Utah.
It's the first time Nnaji has recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game since a Feb. 12 start in which he racked up three pilfers and four rejections over 37 minutes in a start against the Trail Blazers. The fifth-year center was far more efficient Friday, but his lack of consistent court time puts a damper on his fantasy appeal. Nnaji has played more than 20 minutes only once in his last 10 appearances, averaging just 13.5 minutes during that span but still producing 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals to go along with 3.6 points, 2.2 boards and 1.0 assists.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Sees just 13 minutes
Nnaji amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 13 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Bulls.
With Nikola Jokic (ankle) still sidelined, Nnaji hasn't been able to take advantage of his absence. Instead, DeAndre Jordan has started two games in a row and has looked really good with the first unit. For now, Nnaji is only on the radar in deeper formats.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Cleared to play Friday
Nnaji (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Nnaji will play through an ankle injury Friday, although his fantasy value will remain capped by the presence of Nikola Jokic (elbow). Over his last 11 games, Nnaji has averaged 4.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 15.2 minutes.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Likely to play Friday
Nnaji (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Nnaji has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to a left ankle sprain, though he hasn't missed a game since Jan. 31. The 24-year-old has averaged 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds across 15.2 minutes per game in his last five appearances. Nnaji could receive an uptick in playing time if Aaron Gordon (calf) misses his third consecutive contest.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Good to go against OKC
Nnaji (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Nnaji has been on the Nuggets' injury report as of late due to a left ankle sprain, but he's been cleared to play Monday. He has averaged 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over 16.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Expected to play
Nnaji is probable to play Monday against the Thunder with a left ankle sprain.
Aaron Gordon has already been ruled out with an ankle issue, so Nnaji could see extended minutes if he's able to shake off this probable tag. Over his last 10 games, Nnaji has produced 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 18.4 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Available Friday
Nnaji (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Suns.
Nnaji was initially listed as probable for this game, but he should handle his regular workload in this contest. That said, with Aaron Gordon (ankle) back in the rotation, Nnaji's minutes should decrease considerably, so he's not likely to have a lot of fantasy upside.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Listed probable for Friday
Nnaji is probable for Friday's game against the Suns due to a left ankle sprain.
Nnaji logged 19 minutes in the win over the Kings on Wednesday, notching 10 points, three rebounds, a steal and three blocks. The probable tag suggests he should play and handle his regular workload, though even in this scenario, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Cleared to play Wednesday
Nnaji (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Nnaji has been on the Nuggets' injury report for the past couple of games due to a left ankle sprain, but the injury isn't severe enough for him to be sidelined for Wednesday's Western Conference clash. Nnaji has averaged 6.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 0.9 steals over 19.4 minutes per game since the beginning of February.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Questionable for Wednesday
Nnaji (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Kings.
Nnaji was also listed as questionable for Denver's previous contest due to a left ankle sprain before being upgraded to available. However, if Nnaji is unable to suit up against Sacramento, Dario Saric and DeAndre Jordan are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Not starting Sunday
Nnaji (ankle) is available but won't start Sunday's contest against the Celtics.
In Aaron Gordon's (ankle) absence, Nnaji drew a spot start Friday in Detroit and posted eight points, two rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 21 minutes, but he emerged from the contest with a minor left ankle sprain. He's been cleared to suit up, but Russell Westbrook will enter the starting lineup in place of Nnaji, as Gordon remains out.

In Aaron Gordon's (ankle) absence, Nnaji drew a spot start Friday and posted eight points, two rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 21 minutes, but he emerged from the contest with a minor left ankle sprain.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Iffy against Boston
Nnaji is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Moving to starting role
Nnaji is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Nnaji will replace Aaron Gordon (ankle) in this contest, though it's uncertain how much workload he'll carry in this game. The former Arizona star is averaging 7.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game over his last 10 contests (two starts).

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Notches 14 points
Nnaji accumulated 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes during Monday's 125-116 win over the Pacers.
Nnaji made a strong impression Monday and even logged some minutes alongside Nikola Jokic against Indiana's jumbo frontcourt. Nnaji was coming off a scoreless dud in 14 minutes against the Lakers on Saturday, but he's had a good month overall. Through 10 February outings, Nnaji has averaged 7.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 21.4 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Slides to bench against Charlotte
Nnaji isn't part of the starting lineup in Thursday's game against the Hornets.
With Aaron Gordon (calf) healthy for the Nuggets on Thursday, Nnaji will unsurprisingly slide back to Denver's bench. Through his last 14 games as a reserve, Nnaji has averaged a mere 2.9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 9.2 minutes.
