Jusuf Nurkic nearly recorded a double-double against the Celtics on Sunday. He recorded 14 points (6-of-10 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs). He also grabbed nine rebounds and dished out two assists while totaling three steals and a block on the defensive end.
Nurkic scored at least 14 points in four straight games to end the regular season. The 30-year-old big put together some solid stat lines even when Mark Williams played on several occasions. His role for next year is up in the air.
Jusuf Nurkic had 26 points (12-of-19 FGs), nine rebounds and four assists against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Jusuf Nurkic finished Sunday’s loss to New Orleans with 13 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, a steal, three blocks and two three-pointers across 22 minutes.
Nurkic was the nominal starting center, though he logged limited minutes and ceded playing time to the likes of Taj Gibson and Moussa Diabate. His 22 minutes were enough time to help fantasy managers, as he concluded with a big double-double, meaningful defensive contributions and even a pair of triples. Nurkic is worth streaming when Mark Williams is out, but be weary of Charlotte’s minutes distribution.
Jusuf Nurkic (shin) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.
Nurkic is available after initially being questionable for Wednesday’s game. While his availability improves the Hornets’ depth behind starter Mark Williams, Nurkic is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role.
