Jordan isn't starting Game 1 of the Western Conference First Round against Minnesota on Sunday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Jordan started two of the final three regular-season games but will head to the bench for the start of the playoffs. Prior to his late-season starts, he wasn't part of the Nuggets' rotation, so he isn't guaranteed to see much playing time during the postseason.

Rotowire
Jordan is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings.
The Nuggets decided to rest Nikola Jokic (calf) and the rest of the starting unit, so Jordan will get to start in the regular-season finale. This will be Jordan's eighth start of the season, and he's averaging 7.0 points with 9.6 rebounds per game in his previous seven starts.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Returns to bench
Rotowire
Jordan will not start Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Jordan drew a spot start Thursday with Nikola Jokic (calf) sidelined but will return to the second unit with Jokic back in action. However, the Nuggets starters figure to play around two quarters, so Jordan could see a few more minutes than usual.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Jordan will start Thursday against the Suns.
Jordan started in the Nuggets' most recent contest against the Suns, and in that game he recorded 12 rebounds, five points, three steals and a block. With all of the starters for the Nuggets out, it's likely that Jordan and Thomas Bryant will split the minutes at center Thursday.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Grabs 12 boards sans Jokic
Rotowire
Jordan closed Friday's 100-93 loss to the Suns with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and three steals across 21 minutes.
Nikola Jokic (calf) missed both halves of Denver's Thursday-Friday back-to-back set. While Thomas Bryant drew the start Thursday, he provided minimal production, so Jordan stepped into the starting unit Friday. The veteran provided solid production with team highs in boards and steals, but as expected, he didn't supply much offensive impact during the seven-point loss.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting at center
Rotowire
Jordan will start at center for Friday's game against the Suns, per Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com.
Nikola Jokic (calf) will miss his second straight contest, but it will be Jordan instead of Thomas Bryant starting this time around. Jordan hasn't played since March 3, so it will be interesting to see how many minutes he's allotted Friday evening.

Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota.
Nikola Jokic will replace Jordan in the starting unit Tuesday. The veteran big man has come off the bench in all but five games this season.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Jordan will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) unavailable, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Across four starts this season, Jordan has put in averages of 6.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 blocks per game, so he's not much more than a rebounding specialist in the expanded role.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Grabs seven boards in loss
Rotowire
Jordan ended with one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 loss to Sacramento.
Jordan logged more than 15 minutes for the first time in almost a month, highlighting just how far he has fallen in terms of on-court value. Given he is not even an every-night part of the rotation, managers in deeper formats may find it tough to even consider him for streaming purposes. In standard leagues, he is obviously an afterthought.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Logs 14 minutes Thursday
Rotowire
Jordan closed Thursday's 121-120 win over the Trail Blazers with five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three blocks over 14 minutes.
Jordan was back in the rotation Thursday, slotting in as the primary backup behind Nikola Jokic. While he typically plays a somewhat meaningful role, his output is simply too limited to warrant attention outside of deeper formats. For those in standard formats, he should be viewed as a possible streaming candidate if and when Jokic misses time.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Grabs 10 boards in win
Rotowire
Jordan ended with eight points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Monday's 129-113 victory over the Rockets.
Jordan saw extended run in the win as the Nuggets easily accounted for a young Rockets team. The playing time was all over the place in this one, affording a number of secondary pieces to thrive. While he can have streaming value on nights like this, his minutes are far too inconsistent to project, making him a risky option on most nights.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Returns to bench
Rotowire
Jordan isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pistons.
Jordan will move back to the bench with Nikola Jokic (Covid-19) returning to the lineup after missing the last three games. Jordan averaged 6.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.7 minutes over his three games as a starter.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Pulls down season-high 17 boards
Rotowire
Jordan racked up eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 98-97 win over the Mavericks.
Jordan wound back the clock in the win, grabbing 17 boards in what was a dominant performance on the glass. Despite a few pretty obvious flaws in his game, Jordan has filled in admirably for Nikola Jokic, who remains in the health and safety protocols. Until we get word that Jokic is returning, Jordan is a viable streaming option for anyone in need of an efficient scorer who can secure double-digit rebounds.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Grabs eight boards in spot start
Rotowire
Jordan produced four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 loss to New York.
Jordan played a season-high 26 minutes in the loss, filling in for Nikola Jokic, who was placed in the health and safety protocols. Despite the promotion, Jordan offered very little in terms of fantasy value, proving to be a non-factor on both ends of the floor. If Jokic misses more time, which is likely, Jordan should be viewed as nothing more than a possible streaming candidate.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting for Jokic
Rotowire
Jordan will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
With Nikola Jokic (COVID-19 protocols) and Aaron Gordon (illness) both sidelined, Jordan will start alongside Jeff Green in Denver's frontcourt Wednesday. While Jordan's best years are clearly behind him at this point, he has remained fairly consistent as a backup, averaging 5.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per contest this season.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Solid off bench
Rotowire
Jordan logged 10 points (5-6 FG), eight rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Saturday's 126-101 win over the Spurs.
Jordan played 17 minutes on Saturday, the second-most minutes he's played in a game this season as the Nuggets cruised to an easy victory over the Spurs. The backup center has produced in both of those games, as he also chipped in eight rebounds on Saturday after grabbing 13 boards in Denver's win over Utah on Oct. 28. With that being said, Jordan doesn't appear to hold much fantasy value outside of games in which the Nuggets are holding a steady lead.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Won't start against OKC
Rotowire
Despite what was announced previously, Jordan won't start against the Thunder on Saturday.
The Nuggets tweeted the lineup with Jordan in at center but later deleted the post as Nikola Jokic will be in the lineup as usual. Jordan has logged just 20 total minutes off the bench in Denver's first two contests, racking up nine points, seven rebounds and one block.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Starting against Thunder
Rotowire
Jordan is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Jordan came off the bench in the team's first two games and played a combined 20 minutes, so it's quite surprising to see him in the starting lineup. Even with the start, he shouldn't provide a lot of value offensively and need not be added to daily lineups.

Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Gets in on action Friday
Rotowire
Jordan (rest) rejoined the action in Friday's preseason finale versus the Nuggets, tallying five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds over 18 minutes.
Jordan got in some action to close out the preseason after resting Wednesday, and he should be set to handle backup duties to Nikola Jokic entering the 2022-23 campaign. Jordan can supply enough points and rebounds on nights when Jokic isn't available to warrant some fantasy looks on occasion.
