Nnaji

Jackson and Nnaji are available, but their minutes depend on how much the starters play. With Denver needing a win and some help to finish atop the West standings, the reserves may not get extended minutes unless Minnesota or Oklahoma City is comfortably ahead in their respective games.

During his pregame availability, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said that he expects everyone to be available for Sunday’s game. That includes Jackson and Nnaji, with the former providing depth and production behind starting point guard Jamal Murray. Denver is still in the running for the 1-seed in the West but needs to beat Memphis while Minnesota (vs. PHO) and Oklahoma City (vs. DAL) lose.

In addition to Jackson and Nnaji, Denver’s entire starting lineup is questionable for Sunday’s game. While the Nuggets can still earn the top seed in the West, they would need a win and losses by Minnesota and Oklahoma City. If available, Jackson and Nnaji could play additional minutes, but only if the starters don’t play.

Nnaji and Strawther have been on the back end of the Nuggets rotation when healthy, so their availability will not impact fantasy basketball.

Nnaji and Stawther are probable for Wednesday, but neither is likely to play enough to impact fantasy basketball.

Nnaji is available after an eight-game absence, giving the Nuggets another frontcourt option off the bench. However, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Nnaji has missed the team’s last eight games and was initially listed as doubtful for this one. However, even if he returns to the lineup, he won’t see enough minutes to be much of a factor in fantasy basketball.

Nnaji will likely remain sidelined for Thursday’s game, which will not impact fantasy basketball. DeAndre Jordan is available to handle the backup center responsibilities, and the Nuggets can go small with Aaron Gordon if need be.

Nnaji’s continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as he is usually on the back end of the Nuggets rotation when healthy.

Nnaji remains sidelined, and his absence will not impact fantasy basketball. He should already be on the waiver wire in all leagues.
