Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Increased playing time in win
Nnaji posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors.
Aaron Gordon suffered a calf injury that is set to sideline him for multiple weeks during Monday's win. This should open up playing time for Nnaji, who logged a season-high 14 minutes against Toronto. Still, Nnaji's production doesn't suggest that he is worthy of significant fantasy consideration.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Moves back to bench Thursday
Nnaji is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Nnaji won't be in the starting unit for the preseason finale since the Nuggets will run with their regular first unit, which includes Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon in the frontcourt. Nnaji is expected to be a bench option for Denver and is vying with Dario Saric to earn the backup role at center behind Jokic.

Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Grabs five boards in return
Nnaji (adductor) tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 14 minutes in Saturday's 142-110 win over the Hawks.
After missing eight straight games with a right adductor injury, Nnaji was upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Clippers, but head coach Michael Malone didn't turn to the big man off the bench in a narrow two-point win. With Saturday's game proving to be less closely contested, Malone inserted Nnaji back into the rotation as the backup center. Nnaji and Peyton Watson should both see light run at center moving forward whenever starter Nikola Jokic is off the court.
