Zeke Nnaji DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. Nnaji has suited up for only two of the last 10 games due to an ongoing issue with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per contest. But his absence opens more bench minutes for players like Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, and Julian Strawther. The Nuggets starters will likely play their usual minutes since Nnaji is not a difference-maker in their rotation.

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.
