Starting Thursday Jordan will start Thursday against the Suns.

Impact Jordan started in the Nuggets' most recent contest against the Suns and in that game he recorded 12 rebounds, five points, three steals and a block. With all of the starters for the Nuggets out, it's likely that Jordan and Thomas Bryant will split the minutes at center Thursday.

Starting at center Jordan will start at center for Friday's game against the Suns according to Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com.

Impact Nikola Jokic (calf) will miss his second straight contest, but it will be Jordan replacing Thomas Bryant this time around. Jordan hasn't played since March 3, so it will be interesting to see how many minutes he's allotted Friday evening.

Returns to bench Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota.

Impact Nikola Jokic will replace Jordan in the starting unit Tuesday. The veteran big man has come off the bench in all but five games this season.

Starting Sunday Jordan will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) unavailable, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Across four starts this season, Jordan has put in averages of 6.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 blocks per game, so he's not much more than a rebounding specialist in the expanded role.

Set to start Friday Jordan is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Jordan will replace Nikola Jokic (wrist) in the starting lineup Friday. The veteran big man is averaging 6.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.7 minutes across his previous three starts.

Grabs seven boards in loss Jordan ended with one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Jordan logged more than 15 minutes for the first time in almost a month, highlighting just how far he has fallen in terms of on-court value. Given he is not even an every-night part of the rotation, managers in deeper formats may find it tough to even consider him for streaming purposes. In standard leagues, he is obviously an afterthought.

Logs 14 minutes Thursday Jordan closed Thursday's 121-120 win over the Trail Blazers with five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 14 minutes.

Impact Jordan was back in the rotation Thursday, slotting in as the primary backup behind Nikola Jokic. While he typically plays a somewhat meaningful role, his output is simply too limited to warrant attention outside of deeper formats. For those in standard formats, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate if and when Jokic misses time.

Grabs 10 boards in win Jordan ended with eight points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Monday's 129-113 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Jordan saw extended run in the win as the Nuggets easily accounted for a young Rockets team. The playing time was all over the place in this one, affording a number of secondary pieces to thrive. While he can have streaming value on nights like this, his minutes are far too inconsistent to project, making him a risky option on most nights.

Returns to bench Jordan isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pistons.

Impact Jordan will move back to the bench with Nikola Jokic (Covid-19) returning to the lineup after missing the last three games. Jordan averaged 6.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.7 minutes over his three games as a starter.

Pulls down season-high 17 boards Jordan racked up eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 98-97 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Jordan wound back the clock in the win, grabbing 17 boards in what was a dominant performance on the glass. Despite a few pretty obvious flaws in his game, Jordan has filled in admirably for Nikola Jokic who remains in the health and safety protocols. Until we get word that Jokic is returning, Jordan makes for a viable streaming option for anyone in need of an efficient scorer who can secure double-digit rebounds.

Grabs eight boards in spot start Jordan produced four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to New York.

Impact Jordan played a season-high 26 minutes in the loss, filling in for Nikola Jokic, who was placed in the health and safety protocols. Despite the promotion, Jordan offered very little in terms of fantasy value, proving to be a non-factor on both ends of the floor. If Jokic misses more time, which is likely, Jordan should be viewed as nothing more than a possible streaming candidate.

Starting for Jokic Jordan will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact With Nikola Jokic (health and safety protocols) and Aaron Gordon (illness) both sidelined, Jordan will start alongside Jeff Green in Denver's frontcourt Wednesday. While Jordan's best years are clearly behind him at this point, he has remained fairly consistent as a backup, averaging 5.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per contest this season.
