Nnaji posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors. Aaron Gordon suffered a calf injury that is set to sideline him for multiple weeks during Monday's win. This should open up playing time for Nnaji, who logged a season-high 14 minutes against Toronto. Still, Nnaji's production doesn't suggest that he is worthy of significant fantasy consideration.

Zeke Nnaji Latest News
Increased playing time in win
Nnaji posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors. Aaron Gordon suffered a calf injury that is set to sideline him for multiple weeks during Monday's win. This should open up playing time for Nnaji, who logged a season-high 14 minutes against Toronto. Still, Nnaji's production doesn't suggest that he is worthy of significant fantasy consideration.
Moves back to bench Thursday
Nnaji is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports. Nnaji won't be in the starting unit for the preseason finale since the Nuggets will run with their regular first unit, which includes Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon in the frontcourt. Nnaji is expected to be a bench alternative for Denver and is vying with Dario Saric to earn the backup role at center behind Jokic.
Gets starting nod
Nnaji is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Thunder. Nnaji will enter the starting lineup with Nikola Jokic (rest) sitting out. However, Nnaji is expected to serve as one of Denver's depth bigs in the frontcourt this season.
Gets green light
Nnaji (adductor) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Grizzlies. Nnaji isn't expected to see heavy minutes, as the rest of Denver's usual rotation is healthy. Over his last four appearances, the backup center has averaged 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game.
Listed questionable for Sunday
Nnaji is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to right adductor tendinosis. Groin injuries tend to be quite complicated, and it remains to be seen if Nnaji will be able to feature in the regular season finale Sunday. Even if he's available, Nnaji should be an option off the bench in a best-case scenario.
Available against Spurs
Nnaji (thigh) is available against the Spurs on Friday. Nnaji has been getting the backup center minutes lately, averaging 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game over his last three outings.
Likely to play Friday
Nnaji (thigh) is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs. Although Nnaji continues to deal with right adductor tendinitis, he'll likely be able to suit up once again Friday. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 3.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game.
Available Wednesday
Nnaji (thigh) will play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. Nnaji was initially labeled probable with tendinitis in his right thigh, but he's been given the green light for Wednesday's contest. Nnaji is averaging 5.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 combined steals-plus-blocks across 13.0 minutes per game in his last two appearances.
Probable for Wednesday
Nnaji is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to right adductor tendinosis. Nnaji has been available for the past two matchups, averaging 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game. Although he continues to deal with his adductor injury, he'll likely be able to suit up Wednesday.
