Zeke Nnaji - Starting Wednesday Nnaji will start Wednesday's game at Utah.

Impact Nnaji will make his first start of the season with Nikola Jokic (toe) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) sitting out Wednesday. JaMychal Green should also see more action for Denver, which will also be without Aaron Gordon (hamstring) in the frontcourt.

Aaron Gordon - Won't play Wednesday Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact After Gordon picked up some left hamstring tightness in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, it's not surprising the Nuggets are opting to give him the night off for the second half of their back-to-back set Wednesday. With Gordon out, both Austin Rivers and Davon Reed figure to see increased run in Denver's rotation. Gordon's next chance to return will be Friday against the Pelicans if the hamstring feels better by then.

DeMarcus Cousins - Out Wednesday Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Jazz.

Impact Cousins is set to miss his third consecutive game due to a right foot sprain. With Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon also out, the Nuggets will have to rely heavily on Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji and JaMychal Green to run the frontcourt. Cousins' next chance to return will be Friday against the Pelicans.

Nikola Jokic - Won't play Wednesday Jokic (toe) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jokic was considered questionable for Wednesday's contest after playing through the right toe soreness Tuesday against the Timberwolves, and he won't suit up for the second half of the back-to-back set. DeMarcus Cousins (foot), if he's available, and JaMychal Green and Zeke Nnaji should see more run at center for Denver with Jokic sidelined.

Josh Okogie - Questionable Thursday Okogie (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.

Impact Okogie has missed the last two games due to a right quad bruise. He's had an inconsistent role in the Timberwolves' rotation recently.

Leandro Bolmaro - Questionable vs. Pistons Bolmaro (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Pistons.

Impact Bolmaro only sees minutes when the Timberwolves are extremely shorthanded at guard. That could be the case Thursday, so keep an eye on the Wolves' injury report.
