Jusuf Nurkic is "sure" to be traded prior to the February trade deadline according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein. It's not surprising as Nurkic was the early-season starter at center but Nikola Jokic has blossomed into one of the best players in the NBA and likely the NBA's Most Improved Player. Even with multiple players out with an injury on Thursday, Nurkic played only 14 minutes. (ESPN.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Nurkic could be dealt to a better situation but remains at best a speculative hold. Once dealt, we can get a better idea of his value. Kenneth Faried benefits the most with a trade of Nurkic with Darrell Arthur and Wilson Chandler also benefiting.
