DEANDRE JORDAN NEWS

Makes most of start Jordan finished Sunday's 116-111 win over Houston with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes.

Impact Jordan started at center Sunday with Nikola Jokic (ankle) still sidelined, pushing Russell Westbrook to the second unit. According to coach Michael Malone, Jokic is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Bulls, but he's expected back at some point during the team's five-game homestand. If Jordan remains in the starting lineup, he'll be worth a look as a streamer after his eruption Sunday night.

Starting sans Jokic Jordan will start in Sunday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Aaron Gordon has been serving as the club's starting center due to Nikola Jokic (ankle) being sidelined, though Jordan will suit up for the first time since March 2, pushing Russell Westbrook to the bench. Jordan made two starts during January, accumulating 12 points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, three steals and two assists across 46 total minutes.

Is Lakers-Clippers a real NBA rivalry? 'Battle of L.A.' by the numbers

The Lakers and Clippers play in the same city, but are they a true NBA rivalry? Here's the “Battle of L.A." by the numbers.

Used sparingly again Saturday Jordan chipped in two rebounds and one assist in four minutes during Saturday's 123-100 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Jordan barely saw the floor in the loss, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the first time in the past eight games. Although he is playing as the primary backup behind Nikola Jokic, his days of being a viable contributor are well behind him.

Pulls down double-digit boards Jordan totaled four points (2-5 FG), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 122-105 win over the Suns.

Impact The veteran center got a bit of extended run in the fourth quarter as Nikola Jokic took a seat, and Jordan parlayed the opportunity into a season high in boards. The 36-year-old is actually third on the Nuggets' depth chart in the middle, however -- Zeke Nnaji played 21 minutes Saturday -- and Jordan hasn't seen 20-plus minutes in a game since making a spot start against the Rockets on Jan. 15, giving him very limited fantasy appeal.

Back to bench Friday Jordan is back with the second unit for Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact After starting Wednesday's loss to Houston, Jordan will head back to Denver's bench in the return of Nikola Jokic (illness) on Friday. Over his past five games (two starts), Jordan is averaging 5.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.3 minutes.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet night as starter Jordan grabbed eight boards, blocked three shots and recorded one steal through 23 minutes in Wednesday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets.

Impact In Nikola Jokic's (elbow) absence, Jordan was active on the glass as expected, but failed to even take a shot during Wednesday's contest, making his second start of the season a bit of a dud for fantasy purposes. In his last start with Jokic out, the veteran big man put up 12 points and nine rebounds, so he's not without value if Jokic continues to miss time, but he's certainly unreliable as he proved Wednesday. Jordan's next chance to start comes Friday against the Heat.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Jokic Jordan will start Wednesday's game against Houston.

Impact Nikola Jokic suffered an elbow injury during pregame warmups and was ruled out, leaving an opportunity for Jordan to enter the first unit for the second time this season. In his other start, which came Jan. 8 against the Clippers, Jordan logged 12 points, nine rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench against Nets Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Brooklyn.

Impact With Nikola Jokic (illness) back to man the middle, Jordan will revert to his usual role as a reserve for the Nuggets on Friday. The veteran big man is averaging 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 points, 1.2 assists and 0.6 steals in 14.4 minutes while shooting 62.5 percent from the field across his past five outings.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Solid showing in starting role Jordan supplied 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 126-103 win over the Clippers.

Impact Jordan got the start at center over Dario Saric due to the absence of Nikola Jokic (illness) and thrived, finishing just one rebound shy of a double-double and filling the stat sheet despite logging just 23 minutes. Jordan's fantasy upside will be short-lived, as his minutes will regress heavily once Jokic is ready to return, but he might have some streaming upside as long as he remains in a starting role.

Making first start of season Jordan is part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Jordan will step into the first unit for the first time this season in the wake of Nikola Jokic's (illness) absence. Jordan is averaging 3.0 points and 4.0 rebounds across 10.8 minutes per game during the 2024-25 campaign.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Impactful off bench Jordan closed Wednesday's 139-120 victory over the Hawks with eight points (4-4 FG), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 15 minutes.

Impact Jordan recorded his fourth game of the season Wednesday with at least one steal and one block. The veteran big man continues to be Denver's primary back center to Nikola Jokic. Over Jordan's last 10 outings, he is averaging 3.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 11.6 minutes on 75.0 percent shooting from the field.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Dusted off in victory Jordan posted four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over Memphis.

Impact Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot-minutes if and when the Nuggets are shorthanded.

Plays off bench Tuesday Jordan (rest) scored six points (2-3 FG, 2-6 3Pt) while adding nine rebounds and an assist across 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 124-94 preseason loss to the Thunder.

Impact Jordan returned to the hardwood after not playing in Denver's previous two preseason games. The veteran big man is expected to be a depth option off the bench and will likely be the third- or fourth-string center, with Dario Saric and Zeke Nnaji competing for the backup role behind Nikola Jokic.

Didn't play Sunday Jordan did not play during Sunday's preseason game against the Suns.

Impact Jordan got a second consecutive game off, which isn't surprising as the team continues to monitor the play of Dario Saric and Zeke Nnaji in the role of backup center. The veteran big man will have another opportunity to suit up Tuesday against the Thunder.
