Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Starting sans Gordon
Nnaji is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Nnaji hasn't played more than six minutes in a game this season and has been a fringe rotation player for Denver. However, with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) sidelined, Nnaji will draw the start. Despite being part of the first unit, Nnaji's workload could vary greatly depending on how he performs, as Denver could easily turn to Spencer Jones or Peyton Watson for prolonged minutes at the power forward spot.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Will play Saturday
Nnaji (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Nnaji is working through a minor ankle injury, but it won't prevent him from suiting up in Saturday's home game. He has seen sparse playing time while operating in a depth role at center this season.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Available to play Friday
Nnaji (ankle) will be available to play Friday against the Warriors.
Nnaji was listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. However, he's averaging just 3.7 minutes per game this season, so he can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Probable for Friday
Nnaji is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain.
Nnaji seems likely to suit up Friday, but even if he does, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. The big man is averaging 2.0 points and 0.3 boards across 3.7 minutes per game in his three appearances off the bench this season.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Added five steals in preseason loss
Nnaji posted five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five steals and three rebounds in Friday's 94-91 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
Nnaji had another quiet night offensively, but tallying five steals is not to be ignored. While he is not projected to be in the rotation for Denver's regular-season opener against the Warriors on Thursday, Nnaji may be able to carve out a role for himself if he continues to display defensive intensity.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Held scoreless in loss
Nnaji notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 10 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Nnaji's 2024-25 season was quite a disappointment, as he struggled to hold down a spot at the end of the rotation. He made 57 total appearances, averaging 10.7 minutes per night with 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds. He was mentioned in the rumor mill quite a lot around the trade deadline, and it wouldn't be a surprise if the Nuggets entertained offers this offseason.

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.
