Headed to bench
Nnaji will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Pistons.
Analisi
Jonas Valanciunas (calf) is back after a one-game absence, which will result in Nnaji returning to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Nnaji owns averages of 4.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.

Double-double in starting role
Nnaji contributed 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Friday's 102-100 win over Milwaukee.
Analisi
Nnaji had topped 30 minutes just once this season entering Friday, but with both Jonas Valanciunas (calf) and Nikola Jokic (knee) sidelined, the 25-year-old was pressed into a starting role, logging 37 minutes and recording his second double-double of the season in a win. While he's likely to shift back to a bench role behind Valanciunas as soon as Sunday, productive minutes from Nnaji at center would be valuable as Denver continues to navigate Jokic's extended absence.

Starting vs. Milwaukee
Nnaji will start against the Bucks on Friday.
Analisi
With Jonas Valanciunas (calf) joining Nikola Jokic (knee) on the sidelines for the second half of this back-to-back set, Nnaji will get the starting nod at center. The 25-year-old center has seen increased playing time due to injuries in January, during which he has averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per tilt.

Reduced role in win
Nnaji finished Thursday's 107-97 win over Washington with four points (2-3 FG) and one rebound in 10 minutes.
Analisi
With Jonas Valanciunas thriving in his return to action, Nnaji saw a reduced role in Thursday's win. With Nikola Jokic (knee) also eyeing a return in the near future, Nnaji's window to provide streaming appeal in deeper formats appears to be closing.
