Free-agent center DeAndre Jordan re-signed with the Denver Nuggets. The 36-year-old averaged a career-low 3.9 points and 4.4 rebounds last season. While his presence adds depth to a team looking to capture another NBA championship, he will likely spend most of his time on the bench, especially with Dario Saric, Peyton Watson, and Zeke Nnaji on the roster. With that in mind, Jordan did average 16.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks in two starts during the 2023-24 campaign, so there is streaming potential for fantasy managers if Nikola Jokic misses time.
Denver Nuggets center DeAndre Jordan has officially re-signed with the team for one more year, general manager Calvin Booth announced on Friday. Jordan appeared in only 39 regular-season games last season and saw action for just 13 minutes in total in the playoffs, but the 35-year-old brings great veteran pedigree with him and will be an extra body on the bench again in 2023-24. He averaged 5.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 15.0 minutes during his 15th NBA season.
Denver Nuggets center DeAndre Jordan will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. The Nuggets will be without both Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic for this game due to health and safety protocols. That being said, the Nuggets have decided to roll with some veterans for this game. Head coach Mike Malone will start Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jeff Green, Michael Porter Jr. and Jordan on Wednesday. Also, Zeke Nnaji and Bruce Brown should see extended playing time off the bench.
Philadelphia 76ers center DeAndre Jordan will start on Wednesday night during the postseason matchup against Miami. Jordan will fill in for Joel Embiid (face) once again for Game 2. However, the veteran logged only 17 minutes in Game 1, finishing with only four points, two boards, and two blocks. Nonetheless, Paul Reed, who had nine boards, four points, one steal, and one block during the series opener, should be the preferred option by DFS managers looking for value, even though he likely won't see a ton of minutes either.
Free-agent center DeAndre Jordan recently finalized a contract buyout with the Pistons and, upon clearing waivers, is expected to ink a deal with the Lakers. The veteran underwhelmed from a statistical perspective during the 2020-21 campaign while with the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 7.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks throughout 57 games. However, he could see an uptick in production in Los Angeles, and he will likely see minutes as a member of the starting lineup this season. However, Jordan's health has been an issue over the years, and it's apparent his best days are behind him. Still, the upside is there for managers who select him later during fantasy drafts.
Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan will not pursue a buyout with the organization despite falling out of the rotation. Head coach Steve Nash mentioned that Jordan needs to continue to be ready for when his number does get called. The organization is aware that they have a lot of centers, but they're still working through what their rotation will look like come playoff time. The addition of LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin have pushed Jordan out of the rotation. Brooklyn also needs to find playing time for Nicolas Claxton, who is having a breakout year. It's safe for fantasy managers to leave Jordan on the waiver wire going forward.
Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan scored 14 points on 7-for-8 shooting in Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. In addition, he grabbed nine rebounds and blocked one shot. Jordan also recorded a steal. He'll play the Knicks on Monday, who allow opponents to grab the 18th-most rebounds in the NBA while shooting the eighth-lowest percentage from two-point range. Jordan's fantasy ceiling will be fairly low in that matchup, so don't invest heavily in him in DFS contests.
Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan has been tabbed to start Tuesday's game against Sacramento in place of Jeff Green (shoulder). Jordan logged his third double-double of the year in his last outing, with the Kings' struggles at containing the opponents' center only enhanced by his recent success. DFS managers shouldn't expect a massive minutes jump for Jordan, but he should be viewed as a sound cash play option so long as Green is out of the mix.
Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (personal) is back in the mix for Monday's contest versus the Kings following a one-game absence due to personal reasons. Jordan's return knocks Jeff Green's fantasy intrigue down a peg, with the team's starting center likely to reprise his traditional 20-22-minute role. Sacramento has scuffled mightily at slowing opposing centers this season, which could give Jordan increased upside for savvy DFS managers who can still slot him into lineups. He is coming off having delivered his second double-double of the year last Wednesday.
Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (personal) will not play on Saturday night against the Warriors. While it is unknown exactly why the veteran isn't able to suit up, head coach Steve Nash indicated that he would continue to be tested for COVID-19 during his time away from the team. Look for Jeff Green to be the likely beneficiary against Golden State, with Norvel Pelle also in line to get some additional minutes
