Jusuf Nurkic

Jusuf Nurkic is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic did not play on Wednesday. He should more run on Thursday with Lauri Markkanen ruled out.

Jusuf Nurkic scored 11 points and grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds in Utah's 123-112 victory in Cleveland on Monday night. He added three assists, three steals, and two blocked shots.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic tied a season-high with his 17 rebounds and double-doubled for the 11th time this season. Nurkic has double-doubled in each of the three games he has played in January and he entered the contest ranked ninth in the NBA in rebounds per game.

Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is available for the Jazz’s game against the Cavaliers on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic has been in and out of the lineup for much of the past month and a half, including missing four of the Jazz’s last six games and each of the last two. However, with him back in the lineup, expect him to see a healthy dose of work. Even if his minutes are restricted, he’s still a worthy start thanks to his rebounding prowess to go along with whatever points he puts up.

Jusuf Nurkic is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic has missed the last two games with a toe injury, but is expected to return on Monday. If he is ultimately available, Kevin Love and Kyle Filipowski are likely to see a decrease in minutes.

Jusuf Nurkic has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Nurkic will miss his second straight game while continuing to battle a toe injury. With Lauri Markkanen (rest) also ruled out, Kyle Filipowski, Kevin Love and Taylor Hendricks are in line for increased roles.
