UTA • Center • #11

Nurkić has missed Utah’s last two games, allowing Kevin Love to fill the void at center. Love would get another start if the 7-footer can’t play, but he may remain in the rotation regardless, given the opponent and his absence from the initial injury report.

Nurkić will miss a second straight game. Kevin Love started in his place on Thursday and would have some streaming appeal on a day with only six games if he starts again. Kyle Filipowski should also be in line for more minutes.

Nurkić did not play in Thursday’s win over the Mavericks, which allowed Kevin Love to make a spot start. With Lauri Markkanen (rest) already out, the Jazz may turn to a frontcourt tandem of Love and Kyle Filipowski if Nurkić misses a second consecutive game.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game, Nurkić is now officially out. Kevin Love and Kyle Filipowski should see their minutes increase, with one moving into the starting lineup.

Nurkić has played at least 30 minutes in each of the last two games, and scored 15 points with 15 rebounds against the Thunder last night. However, the Jazz have been selected in how they rest players, considering they are not in contention this season, but also are playing good basketball of late. If Nurkić were to sit on Thursday, that would likely mean more minutes for Kyle Filipowski since the Jazz don’t really have another traditional center.

The veteran center has been on a roll of late. Wednesday’s double-double marked his second straight, and also marked the sixth consecutive game in which he’s totaled at least 15 points. Inefficient shooting aside, he produced well in this game before fouling out. Nurkic remains a double-double threat even at this stage in his career and has the potential to log more strong performances, like Wednesday’s, going forward.

Nurkić continues to have a strong season for Utah. This was his first game back after missing two games with a toe injury, and he picked up right where he left off. Over the past two weeks, Nurkić is averaging 19.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.8 triples while shooting 1.8 percent from the floor. The start of the year was rough, but he has been a strong source of rebounds, assists and steals from the center spot, and the recent uptick in scoring has only helped.

Nurkić has missed two straight contests, but he’ll be back in action against Donovan Clingan and Portland. With Kevin Love (rest) sidelined, Kyle Filipowski could pick up a few extra minutes off the bench behind Nurkić.

Nurkić will miss a second straight game, which means Kyle Filipowski should be in line for another start at center. He was disappointing in his 28 minutes, but he’ll get the opportunity to bounce back in this one.

Nurkić did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Clippers, resulting in Kyle Filipowski receiving the starting nod. If the veteran center can play on Saturday, Filipowski will head to the bench, but he’s worth holding onto in advance of the “silly season.”

Nurkić is dealing with a sprain in his toe that will keep him on the sidelines against LA. Kyle Filipowski has replaced Nurkić when he has missed games previously and should become a high-priority streaming option with Nurkić sidelined.

Boston didn’t have an answer for Nurkić in this game. He came close to recording a triple-double and only missed one shot while exceeding 20 points for the first time this season. He has been a strong fantasy option this year as a starter, but it hasn’t been because of his scoring ability. This was a fun game for him, but managers shouldn’t expect this type of offensive dominance often.

While Nurkić has recorded a double-double in each of his last two appearances, he had a day off on Tuesday because it was the second game of a back-to-back. With the Jazz visiting the Spurs on Saturday, there’s a good chance the veteran center won’t play. With Kevin Love (14/5/3/1/1 with three three-pointers) playing 16 minutes off the bench, Saturday’s game may be one in which Kyle Filipowski, Taylor Hendricks and even Kyle Anderson figure more prominently in the frontcourt rotation.

Nurkić did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Grizzlies, so Kyle Filipowski served as the starting center. While he will be asked to come off the bench on Friday, Filipowski is worth holding onto, as he’ll play plenty.

Nurkić was given the night off on Monday, resulting in Kyle Filipowski moving into the starting lineup. Filipowski will return to the bench if the Jazz rotation is whole, but there’s a chance that he gets another start. Lauri Markkanen (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday night.

Nurkić will get Monday night off, which means that Kyle Filipowski moves into the starting lineup. On track to be a “silly season” hero later in the year, Filipowski is worth streaming, especially on a five-game night.

With Memphis playing Friday’s game without its best rebounder, Zach Edey, this was an excellent opportunity for Nurkić to put up a high number in the rebounds category. His 17 boards matched the veteran center’s season-high, and he finished with his sixth double-double. While Nurkić’s fantasy value is ranked outside the top-200 over the last two weeks, he’s a helpful option for managers needing rebounds. Add in the seven assists, and Friday’s was a good night to have Nurk on your roster.

The veteran center will return from a one-game absence to face the Knicks on Friday. He’s served as Utah’s starting center since Walker Kessler (shoulder) was lost for the season. Nurkić isn’t a high-end fantasy option but has double-double capabilities on a nightly basis. His return could send Kyle Filipowski back to the bench.

Nurkić missed Thursday’s game against the Nets with a rib injury with Kyle Filipowski replacing him in the starting lineup. Filipowski had 15 points, eight rebounds and five assists in the win over Brooklyn. If Nurkić is out again, Filipowski will likely start again and he just showed he has streaming value under these circumstances.

Thursday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Jazz, who visit the Knicks on Friday. No Nurkić means that Utah will have to rely more on Kyle Filipowski, possibly as a starter. If he receives the starting nod, Filipowski should be slotted into lineups in deeper leagues.

Nurkić is dealing with a right rib contusion, and a place in the starting lineup would open up if he can’t play against the Nets. Kyle Filipowski is the most likely replacement, and this would raise his fantasy ceiling, especially with Kevin Love already out.

Nurkić flirted with a double-double for the second straight game against the Rockets. On the second night of a back-to-back, he was productive inside the arc as a scorer and set a new season-high in points before fouling out of the contest. Nurkic has filled in the starting unit nicely in place of the injured Walker Kessler (shoulder). He’s got double-double potential on a nightly basis in this new role.

Nurkić came close to recording a triple-double, and while he wasn’t quite able to reach the necessary marks, he was still able to turn in an excellent line in this game. The assists were a new season-high, and he has reached double-digit rebounds in eight of his last nine outings. Nurkić is locked in as the starting center and should be considered a must-roster player for the rest of the year.

Nurkić continues to provide solid value as the starting center in Utah. This was his third double-double of the year and the fifth straight game he has finished with at least 10 boards. Of course, it’s the assists and steals that set him apart, and he is averaging 6.3 dimes and 3.3 swipes over his last three games. Nurkić’s role as a starter should be safe moving forward, yet he’s still available in 55 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Nurkić had some turnover issues, but he was able to have a dominant night in the box score. This was his second straight double-double and a new season-high for both assists and steals. Nurkić seems to be locked in as the starting center in Utah for now, and he played 28 minutes in this game, while Kyle Filipowski played 18 minutes and Kevin Love played 15. This type of performance won’t come consistently, but Nurkić is a must-roster player at this point.

Nurkić remained in the starting lineup in place of Walker Kessler (shoulder) for a second straight game, and Kessler is set to miss at least two more games. Nurk’s first start was disappointing, but a double-double in 31minutes is intriguing. With two more starts this week, Nurkić is worth considering as a streaming option, and he is currently available in roughly 90 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Nurk will be available after initially being listed as questionable for this game. He has been filling out the backup center minutes behind Walker Kessler, which will be a role he continues to play against his former team.

Nurkić is dealing with a right hip contusion. If he’s unable to play, Kevin Love could be tabbed to take on some minutes as Walker Kessler’s backup. The veteran forward, the subject of contract buyout rumors during the offseason, has not appeared in a game this season. There’s no need to consider streaming Love if Nurkić can’t play.

The first-year member of the Jazz had another nice preseason outing, following a couple of 12-point performances in the two previous games. He crashed the glass hard on Monday and recorded more boards than his previous total through the first two preseason games. Notably, the veteran center drilled a pair of three-pointers and has now tallied at least one make from beyond the arc in all three preseason games. If he remains the starting center into the regular season, Nurkic could be a double-double threat on a nightly basis.
