Denver Nuggets

Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Memphis. Nnaji is dealing with right adductor tendinosis. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The 23-year-old has not played since March 17th and has suited up for 53 games this season. With Nnaji unavailable and starting center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) questionable, veteran center DeAndre Jordan could see some more time on the court.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is questionable heading into Monday's game versus the Grizzlies. He tweaked his ankle a few nights ago and wasn't available on Saturday night against Portland. Reggie Jackson took his spot in the lineup and finished with 23 points, five assists, and two steals in 29 minutes. There's a good chance Murray won't be back for Monday's contest, considering the oft-injured guard is needed for a deep postseason run. If that's the case, Jackson will remain an enticing DFS value option.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back, hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies. The Nuggets have a slight edge over the Timberwolves in the Western Conference standings, so the team can't afford to not have their top player on the floor. However, considering Memphis is one of the worst teams in the league, Jokic might get another night off. If that's the case, he'd likely return on Wednesday against Phoenix. But until the multi-time MVP is back on the floor, DeAndre Jordan, averaging 16.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks in two starts this season, would be an ideal DFS value option.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's contest against Portland. A left ankle injury brings an end to Murray's run of 13 consecutive appearances. Reggie Jackson should take over as the starting point guard. The veteran has had 16.1 points and 5.4 assists in 16 previous starts this season. However, there's a good chance we see him being even more involved in the offense on Saturday because Nikola Jokic (back) will also skip the game.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland. The team has downgraded him from a questionable status. Jokic sits out only his third game of the season. With backup center Zeke Nnaji (groin) also unavailable, we should see DeAndre Jordan moving to the starting unit, while Peyton Watson could be in for a busy night as a small-ball center. Denver is still expected to dominate the matchup, giving bench guys like Watson a chance to make a significant mark in the game.
