Jusuf Nurkić barely misses triple-double in loss
by Bruno Mulé | Jazz Correspondent | Wed, Dec 31st 9:38am EST
Jusuf Nurkić turned in his best offensive performance of the season in Tuesday's loss to Boston, racking up 26 points (10-of-11 FGs), eight rebounds, eight assists, and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact:
The veteran center was nearly unstoppable in the paint, missing just one shot all night while eclipsing the 20-point mark for the first time this season. He finished just two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double, providing a massive boost to fantasy managers who have mostly relied on him for rebounding and passing rather than scoring. While this offensive explosion was a welcome surprise, Nurkić's usage is unlikely to remain this high, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect repeat scoring outbursts of this magnitude.
