Arthur will start Wednesday's game versus the Suns, the Arizona Republic reports.
Arthur is receiving a second start in a row with Kenneth Faried out of commission due to a bruised thumb. In two nods this season, Arthur has averaged 10.5 points (on 39 percent shooting), 4.5 rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 26 minutes.
Mon Feb 23 201521:13Contrary to earlier report
Contrary to an earlier report, Arthur will start Monday's game against Brooklyn, Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reports.
Arthur will remain in the starting lineup, while Kenneth Faried moves to the bench Monday. Danilo Gallinari will get the start at small forward, while Gary Harris enters the lineup at shooting guard.
Mon Feb 23 201520:36Arthur will come off bench Monday against Nets
Arthur will come off the bench Monday against the Nets.
Arthur will be moved to the bench, as coach Brian Shaw inserts Gary Harris into the lineup at shooting guard. Danilo Gallinari will start at small forward, while Jusuf Nurkic starts at center. Arthur, who is averaging just over 18 minutes per game in February, is not likely to see his playing time greatly impacted by the change.

Arthur had 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench Tuesday against the Lakers.
Arthur played more than 20 minutes for the first time since Jan. 25 against Washington. He's averaging 18.2 minutes this month and has scored in double figures twice through five February contests.

Arthur did play Tuesday night in a loss to the 76ers despite leaving shootaround early (illness), but scored just six points (3-7 FG) and had one rebound in 11 minutes.
It's unclear what his illness might have been, or how much it affected him during the game, but seeing that he did play should be encouraging to owners. Still, with Kenneth Faried, J.J. Hickson and Javale McGee all healthy (though McGee did miss Tuesday's game) Arthur isn't going to see much playing time.

Arthur (illness) did not make it through all of morning shootaround, and his level of participation in Tuesday's game is yet to be determined, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
Even with JaVale McGee (illness) out and Kenneth Faried (illness) not at 100 percent, it may be best to stay away from Arthur in daily leagues Tuesday, as he might only play limited minutes.
Tue Feb 3 201510:51Arthur (illness) expected to return Tuesday against 76ers
Arthur (illness) is expected to return Tuesday against the 76ers, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
Arthur sat out Saturday's loss to Charlotte due to illness, but after a couple days of rest, all signs point to him returning to action Tuesday. The Kansas product is coming off of a rough month of January, from a fantasy perspective, in which he averaged only 7.0 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. He's also failed to grab more than three rebounds in 15 straight contests.
Sat Jan 31 201518:20Arthur (illness) out for Saturday's game against Charlotte
Arthur (illness) is out for Saturday's game against Charlotte, CBS Sports' Matt Moore reports.
With Kenneth Faried also out due to illness, the Nuggets will likely need to lean heavily on J.J. Hickson, especially since Jusuf Nurkic has accumulated fouls at such a rapid rate. Wilson Chandler and Javale McGee are candidates to see more looks at the four and five spots, respectively, though the latter has too blurry of a role to trust in many cases.

Arthur scored 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), grabbed two rebounds and picked up two assists and two steals in 28 minutes Friday in a victory over the Kings.
Arthur started in place of Wilson Chandler (knee). It was his first of the season, so don't expect Arthur to keep up this kind of production. In 17.5 minutes per game off the bench this year, he's averaging just 7.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
Mon Jan 5 201523:34Arthur had five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and assist in 14 minute...
Arthur had five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and an assist in 14 minutes of action Monday against the Timberwolves.
Arthur, who returned to action Saturday after missing two games with a leg injury, played in his second straight game Monday night. It appears as though he's past his leg injury at this point. That said, Arthur doesn't contribute much outside of scoring, and even so he is only averaging 7.4 points-per-game this year.

Arthur (leg) did not play in Thursday's game against the Bulls, despite being available.
Arthur received the dreaded "DNP - Coach's Decision" and missed his seventh game in the Nuggets' past eight. His next chance to see some action is Saturday against the Grizzlies. In 10 games in December, Arthur shot just 36.7 percent from the floor and averaged 8.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in 20.4 minutes, so he's not much of a fantasy option even if he's playing.
Thu Jan 1 201519:23Arthur (leg) will play Thursday against Bulls
Arthur (leg) will play Thursday against the Bulls.
Arthur was available in an emergency Tuesday but did not play, marking his sixth absence in the Nuggets' last seven games. The 26-year-old will return to action against Chicago, but more cautious owners may want to wait and see how he fares coming off the injury before deploying him.

Arthur (leg) did not play in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, as he was only scheduled to be used in emergency situations.
Arthur's next chance to play is Thursday against the Bulls as he continues to recover from a leg sprain. He did play in limited minutes Sunday, but missed five games before that. In 17.6 minutes per game this season, Arthur is averaging 7.5 points, 1.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds with just 40.8 percent shooting.
Tue Dec 30 201420:02Arthur will only be used in emergency situation Tuesday
Arthur will only be used in an emergency situation Tuesday, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.
He is still having issues with a lower leg strain, and should not be started in daily leagues as he will only see limited minutes if he plays Tuesday.
Mon Dec 29 201409:05Arthur (leg) returned to action from five-game absence Sunday
Arthur (leg) returned to action from a five-game absence Sunday. He put up two points and two rebounds in 11 minutes off the bench.
While Arthur was out with the injury, Kenneth Faried unleased the Manimal, making Arthur's role somewhat questionable moving forward. Coach Brian Shaw has used Arthur at both forward spots, and given Shaw's predilection for stirring up his rotation every game, it's possible Arthur could flip-flop in and out of fantasy relevance all season. Most likely, though, Arthur will stay in a bench role, and every blue moon, he'll have an impressive stretch, but he's never been a consistent option due to a lack of minutes and a propensity for injuries.
Fri Dec 26 201423:34Arthur missed fifth straight game with lower leg injury Friday
Arthur missed his fifth straight game with a lower leg injury Friday.
Arthur's next chance to play is Sunday against the Raptors. In his absence, Jusuf Nurkic and J.J. Hickson have been coming off the bench in the frontcourt.
Wed Dec 24 201400:48Arthur (lower leg) not in lineup against Nets on Tuesday
Arthur (lower leg) was not in the lineup against the Nets on Tuesday.
Arthur has now missed the past four games with a lingering lower leg sprain. His next opportunity to play will come against the Timberwolves on Friday, although the Nuggets have been rather hush about his injury thus far, and he should be considered day-to-day as a result. In his potential absence, Jusuf Nurkic will likely see additional time on the court, albeit limited.
Mon Dec 22 201418:46Arthur (lower leg) won't take floor Monday at Charlotte
Arthur (lower leg) won't take the floor Monday at Charlotte, the Denver Post reports.
Arthur will miss his third game in a row due to a lower leg strain, and with the Nuggets' next game arriving Tuesday at Brooklyn, a fourth could very well come to pass. In his stead, J.J. Hickson and Jusuf Nurkic will hold down the frontcourt reserve spots.
Mon Dec 22 201411:54Arthur (Lower Leg) doubtful to play in Monday's game against Hor...
Arthur (Lower Leg) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Hornets, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
Arthur missed both Friday and Saturday due to the leg injury following a recent increase in minutes. He could continue to receive expanded minutes once he returns, but it's also possible Arthur's minutes see a regression from recent games if someone else steps up in his absence.
Sat Dec 20 201420:35Arthur (leg) will not play Saturday against Pacers
Arthur (leg) will not play Saturday against the Pacers, Nuggets radio announcer Jason Kosmicki reports.
Arthur will miss a second consecutive game with the injury. He remains day-to-day, with his next opportunity to return coming Monday at Charlotte.
