Eligibility
Availability
Jusuf Nurkic posted a double-double for the Jazz Friday night, grabbing 11 rebounds and chipping in 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3PT, 3-3 FT) while also blocking two shots, dishing out five assists, and recording one steal in a 131-129 win over the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
Nurkic continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with four or more points, five or more assists, and eight or more rebounds in each of his last five games. The center offers fantasy managers more of a complementary option with a safe floor as part of an inconsistent Utah starting five, averaging 9.1 points, 4.1 assists, and 9.7 rebounds per game to go along with a 17.5% usage rate so far this season.
Jusuf Nurkic (rest) will be sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
Utah has decided to give Nurkic the night off on Tuesday as a rest night. He should be back in the lineup sometime within the next game or two, and both Kyle Filipowski and Kevin Love will benefit from his absence for the time being.
Jusuf Nurkic is off Utah’s injury report good to go for the Jazz’s game against the Lakers on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Nurkic was held out of Utah’s game on Monday for some veteran rest, but will return back to the lineup for Thursday. He should provide a nice boost to the Jazz who will try to upset the Lakers who are without their primary big man in Deandre Ayton.
Jusuf Nurkic has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
Fantasy Impact
Nurkic will not be available on Monday, but fantasy managers shouldn’t be concerned, as it is simply a planned rest day. He is expected to return for Thursday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. In his absence, Kevin Love, Kyle Filipowski and Taylor Hendricks could see increased playing time.
Jusuf Nurkic finished with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 FT), 17 rebounds, and seven assists in Friday's win over the Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
Nurkic tied his season high in rebounds and has now finished with double-digit boards in more than half of his 23 games this season. The veteran center remains a solid depth piece in standard fantasy leagues.
