Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Scores 21 points in win
Nnaji closed Monday's 125-124 overtime win over the 76ers with 21 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes.
Nnaji matched his career-high mark of 21 points, as he was able to take advantage of some extra minutes with the Nuggets sitting multiple starters for the second leg of this back-to-back set. DaRon Holmes has been pretty underwhelming as Denver's fill-in starter at center, so it will be interesting to see if Nnaji can leapfrog him. If that happens, Nnaji could certainly be an interesting pickup in the short term.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Season-high 13 points
Nnaji racked up 13 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 113-108 loss to the Cavaliers.
Nnaji dropped a season-high 13 points, playing as the backup center behind DaRon Holmes. Although this was basically a minutes split, it should be noted that Holmes picked up two quick fouls, allowing Nnaji to enter the game earlier than expected. Both could have some limited value for the foreseeable future, although Holmes remains the priority add at this point.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Logs 12 minutes in win
Nnaji posted two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 victory over the Pacers.
Nnaji has logged over 10 minutes only four times this season and has been rather unproductive with his time on the court, averaging 3.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in those games. With Aaron Gordon (hamstring) out for the next several weeks, Nnaji will inevitably see more playing time, but his nonexistent production makes him a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Returns to bench
Nnaji isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Nnaji made a spot start Wednesday due to the absence of Aaron Gordon, but Gordon is back in action Friday. Nnaji logged two points, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 27 minutes during the start, but he hadn't seen more than six minutes in a game previously.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Starting sans Gordon
Nnaji is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Nnaji hasn't played more than six minutes in a game this season and has been a fringe rotation player for Denver. However, with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) sidelined, Nnaji will draw the start. Despite being part of the first unit, Nnaji's workload could vary greatly depending on how he performs, as Denver could easily turn to Spencer Jones or Peyton Watson for prolonged minutes at the power forward spot.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Will play Saturday
Nnaji (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Nnaji is working through a minor ankle injury, but it won't prevent him from suiting up in Saturday's home game. He has seen sparse playing time while operating in a depth role at center this season.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Available to play Friday
Nnaji (ankle) will be available to play Friday against the Warriors.
Nnaji was listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. However, he's averaging just 3.7 minutes per game this season, so he can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Probable for Friday
Nnaji is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain.
Nnaji seems likely to suit up Friday, but even if he does, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. The big man is averaging 2.0 points and 0.3 boards across 3.7 minutes per game in his three appearances off the bench this season.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Added five steals in preseason loss
Nnaji posted five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five steals and three rebounds in Friday's 94-91 preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
Nnaji had another quiet night offensively, but tallying five steals is not to be ignored. While he is not projected to be in the rotation for Denver's regular-season opener against the Warriors on Thursday, Nnaji may be able to carve out a role for himself if he continues to display defensive intensity.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Held scoreless in loss
Nnaji notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in 10 minutes during Sunday's 125-93 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Nnaji's 2024-25 season was quite a disappointment, as he struggled to hold down a spot at the end of the rotation. He made 57 total appearances, averaging 10.7 minutes per night with 3.2 points and 1.6 rebounds. He was mentioned in the rumor mill quite a lot around the trade deadline, and it wouldn't be a surprise if the Nuggets entertained offers this offseason.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Not starting vs. Warriors
Nnaji is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Warriors.
The Nuggets rested their entire starting unit against the Spurs on Wednesday but will be close to full strength for this contest, so Nnaji returns to the bench. The former Arizona standout could be an option to provide depth in the frontcourt, but he's not likely to be a factor in most fantasy formats.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Starting Wednesday
Nnaji will be in the starting lineup for the Nuggets on Wednesday against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Nnaji will be a starter Wednesday for the fourth time this season. In his three previous starts for Denver, the 23-year-old big man averaged 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 65 percent from the floor and 60 percent from deep.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Busy night on defense
Nnaji contributed 10 points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, three blocks and two steals across 17 minutes off the bench during Friday's 129-93 victory over Utah.
It's the first time Nnaji has recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game since a Feb. 12 start in which he racked up three pilfers and four rejections over 37 minutes in a start against the Trail Blazers. The fifth-year center was far more efficient Friday, but his lack of consistent court time puts a damper on his fantasy appeal. Nnaji has played more than 20 minutes only once in his last 10 appearances, averaging just 13.5 minutes during that span but still producing 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals to go along with 3.6 points, 2.2 boards and 1.0 assists.
