Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (ankle) will be in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 24-year-old continues to nurse an ankle sprain but is ready to make his 19th consecutive appearance. Nnaji has become a regular in the rotation over the last couple of months, but his fantasy value is limited as long as Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) is in the lineup. Jokic is currently dealing with some health issues, which may open up more playing opportunities for Nnaji soon. However, fantasy managers should not count on it.
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. As expected, Nnaji will suit up for this game after being listed as probable coming into it. Nnaji was dealing with a minor ankle issue, but it doesn't appear to be something that is going to stop him from playing. However, Nnaji is unlikely to have a big role in that role with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon both healthy and active on Friday. Nnaji will probably play minutes in the teens, which normally doesn't offer much fantasy value.
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 24-year-old is dealing with a minor ankle injury that shouldn't sideline him for this contest. His playing time has been inconsistent lately, but he could see a bigger role if Aaron Gordon (ankle) or Nikola Jokic (ankle) are unable to play on Friday. Nnaji is really only worth a look as a streaming option if Gordon or Jokic are unable to play.
Zeke Nnaji Active Wednesday Night Against Sacramento
Denver Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji (ankle) was listed as questionable due to a left ankle sprain for Wednesday's game against the Kings, but coach Mike Malone said he will be active. Nikola Jokic (ankle) and Aaron Gordon (ankle) remain game-time decisions, but Nnaji will be available and able to fill in if needed. The 24-year-old has averaged 7.3 points in 18.4 minutes per game over his last eight contests, but his role could be threatened by the return of Peyton Watson (knee) from his extended absence. Keep a close eye on how the minutes are split up in the Nuggets' second unit as the pieces get healthy for the stretch run.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. Nnaji has suited up for only two of the last 10 games due to an ongoing issue with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per contest. But his absence opens more bench minutes for players like Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, and Julian Strawther. The Nuggets starters will likely play their usual minutes since Nnaji is not a difference-maker in their rotation.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nnaji will miss his sixth consecutive game thanks to ongoing issues with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per game, but his absence opens more bench minutes. Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, and Julian Strawther have a slightly higher chance at contributing more on the fantasy side without Nnaji. The Nuggets starters will likely play their usual minutes, since Nnaji is not a difference maker in their rotation. There is no official timetable on Nnaji's return to action, but he's expected to return before the season ends.
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Memphis. Nnaji is dealing with right adductor tendinosis. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The 23-year-old has not played since March 17th and has suited up for 53 games this season. With Nnaji unavailable and starting center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) questionable, veteran center DeAndre Jordan could see some more time on the court.
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to lower back pain. The absence of Nnaji should open up additional minutes behind starting center Nikola Jokic. Head coach Mike Malone mentioned that DeAndre Jordan could absorb more minutes with Nnaji sidelined. Despite the extra playing time, Jordan isn't a viable streaming option for Thursday's slate.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the New York Knicks. He's suffering from lower back pain. The 23-year-old rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, and he is averaging 3.2 points per contest. Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way, and the 2020 first-round draft pick should not be considered a fantasy option when he returns to the team's lineup.
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) won't play on Tuesday against Minnesota. He's bothered by lower back pain, and Denver has downgraded the 23-year-old from questionable to out. As he's only a bit-part player who rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way. He will get his first chance to return on Thursday when the defending champions meet up with the Knicks on home court.
