Dominates glass in spot start Jordan closed with 10 points (2-4 FG, 6-12 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 loss to San Antonio.

Impact The veteran big man collected a game-high 17 boards in Nikola Jokic's (ankle) stead on Wednesday, matching a season high in rebounds to go with his third double-double of the campaign. Jordan doesn't always see the court when Jokic is available, but the former has filled in serviceably when the latter has been out of action. Through five starts in 2024-25, Jordan has averaged 8.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks in 30.4 minutes while shooting 69.6 percent from the floor.

Starting sans Jokic Jordan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Jordan is one of several players who will have the chance to handle an expanded role Wednesday, as head coach Michael Malone decided to rest all of the usual starters. Jordan has made four starts this season, averaging 8.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks per game in those four contests.

Back to bench Wednesday Jordan is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Impact Jordan was in the Nuggets' starting five for the last two games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday due to the return of Nikola Jokic (ankle). Across those two starts, Jordan averaged 10.5 points on 69.2 percent shooting, 16.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.5 minutes per contest.

Nears triple-double Jordan totaled 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-5 FT), 17 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Jordan was surprisingly productive in the assist column Monday, setting a new season high in just his second March appearance. The veteran center has made a splash while filling in for Nikola Jokic (ankle), recording double-doubles in back-to-back performances. Jordan can be considered a worthwhile streaming option until Jokic gets the green light to return.

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.

Is Lakers-Clippers a real NBA rivalry? '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, 2025 • 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, 2025 • 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.

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, 2025 • 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.
