DeAndre Jordan Puts Together Big Double-Double Versus Jazz
DeAndre Jordan had his best performance of the year on Tuesday against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz, finishing a 119-114 loss with a big 15-point, 17-rebound double-double in 30 minutes off the bench. Jordan shot 6-for-8 from the field and even did a good job with his freebies, posting a 3-for-4 record at the line. His work also included four assists, two steals, and two blocks. Starting center Jarrett Allen posted a minus-14 rating in 18 minutes and he's now logged just 30 total minutes over the last two games, which is encouraging news for Jordan owners. He'll go for a third consecutive double-double on Thursday night against the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic, who struggles on the defensive end.

DeAndre Jordan Returning To Denver
DeAndre Jordan is reportedly sticking around with the organization for at least one more season. The veteran big man has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal for the 2024-2025 season. Jordan should serve as the primary backup center to Nikola Jokic. However, that role usually doesn't come with a ton of playing time as long as Jokic is healthy. Jordan is a solid rebounder but he doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of that.

Nuggets Make DeAndre Jordan's Return Official
DeAndre Jordan has officially re-signed with the team for one more year, general manager Calvin Booth announced on Friday. Jordan appeared in only 39 regular-season games last season and saw action for just 13 minutes in total in the playoffs, but the 35-year-old brings great veteran pedigree with him and will be an extra body on the bench again in 2023-24. He averaged 5.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 15.0 minutes during his 15th NBA season.

DeAndre Jordan Moves Into Starting Five

Head coach Mike Malone will start Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jeff Green, Michael Porter Jr. and Jordan on Wednesday. Also, Zeke Nnaji and Bruce Brown should see extended playing time off the bench.

DeAndre Jordan Starting Again In Game 2
DeAndre Jordan will start on Wednesday night during the postseason matchup against Miami. Jordan will fill in for Joel Embiid (face) once again for Game 2. However, the veteran logged only 17 minutes in Game 1, finishing with only four points, two boards, and two blocks. Nonetheless, Paul Reed, who had nine boards, four points, one steal, and one block during the series opener, should be the preferred option by DFS managers looking for value, even though he likely won't see a ton of minutes either.
