FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • Associated Press

Unavailable Monday Nnaji (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Nnaji will miss his second consecutive matchup due to left hamstring soreness. Look for JaMychal Green, Jeff Green and Davon Reed to once again pick up extra minutes in Nnaji's absence.

Questionable Monday Nnaji (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando.

Impact Nnaji sat out Saturday's game against the Raptors but will have a chance to return Monday. If he's unavailable once again, Davon Reed, Jeff Green and JaMychal Green should see increased run.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • Associated Press

Out at Toronto Nnaji (hamstring) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.

Impact Nnaji's role has increased significantly as of late. Over the past seven games, he's averaged 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in 23.7 minutes. His absence opens up more minutes for Davon Reed, Jeff Green and JaMychal Green.

Questionable Saturday Nnaji is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors due to left hamstring tightness, freelance writer T.J. McBride reports.

Impact Nnaji's role has increased significantly as of late. Over the past seven games, he's averaged 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in 23.7 minutes. If he sits out Saturday, more minutes could be available for Davon Reed, Jeff Green and JaMychal Green.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Well-rounded performance in loss Nnaji notched eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Nnaji was the best option off the bench for the Nuggets, turning in arguably his best all-around performance of the year. With Aaron Gordon sidelined, Nnaji has been able to step into an increased role. His offensive game still needs some work but he does have the ability to chip in across the board, making him a speculative short-term add, at least in deeper formats.

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.

Jokic has triple-double, Nuggets beat Pelicans 116-105

Nikola Jokic scored 22 of his 29 points in the second half to go with 13 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Denver Nuggets held off the under-manned New Orleans Pelicans 116-105

JANUARY 29, 2022 • Associated Press

Solid performance off bench Nnaji amassed nine points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 win over Detroit.

Impact Nnaji continues to operate as Nikola Jokic's primary backup, which doesn't warrant much fantasy consideration. Nonetheless, over his last seven games, the 2020 first-round pick has averaged 8.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. He's making the most of his limited playing time, but there just isn't enough production to make rostering him worthwhile.
