In a move that should shock nobody, another member of the Jazz has been shut down for the season. Nurkić’s absence should free up plenty of playing time for Kyle Filipowski, but Utah’s rotations have no rhyme or reason as the team looks to win as few games as possible down the stretch.

Due to nose injury management, Nurkić will miss a second consecutive game. Kyle Filipowski started Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, playing 28 minutes. In theory, he should remain in the starting lineup, but Utah’s handling of Filipowski’s workload has been a bit puzzling at times. Fantasy managers should operate under the assumption that Filipowski will get another start.

The veteran center will be in street clothes for Friday’s matchup, marking his 16th missed game of the season. Nurkić is enjoying a nice bounce-back season, posting averages of 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists over his 41 appearances. Without him in the lineup, Utah will rely on Kyle Filipowski and Oscar Tshiebwe for frontcourt minutes.

Nurkić will miss Tuesday’s game against a fellow lottery team. In his most recent absence, Kyle Filipowski started in his place and should return to playing that role in this game. He had 14 points and 12 rebounds in 29 minutes in that game, making Filipowski worth streaming.

Nurkić sat out Friday’s loss to the Nets with an illness, but was back on the court Sunday. The 31-year-old center saw his streak of three triple-doubles in a row end in Wednesday’s loss to the Warriors, but bounced back with a double-double against the Raptors Sunday. He’s provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. While his fantasy value appears solid, Nurkić is one that could lose value on the Jazz once silly season begins and the team starts looking at giving younger players more playing time.

Nurkić is back after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Nets. His return will push Kyle Filipowski to the bench, eliminating most of the third-year center’s short-term fantasy appeal. However, because of his silly season potential, Filipowski is worth holding onto in deeper leagues.

Initially questionable after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Nets, Nurkić is on track to play Sunday evening. His return would push Kyle Filipowski to the bench, limiting the young 7-footer’s playing time. Those who are rostering Filipowski should hold onto him, as he should be a more valuable option after the trade deadline.

Nurkić was held out of Friday’s loss to the Nets, with Kyle Filipowski replacing him in the starting lineup. Filipowski will retain that role if Utah’s starting center can’t play in Toronto.

Nurkić was initially questionable for Friday’s game. With Kevin Love (illness) also out, the Jazz will likely turn to Kyle Filipowski to serve as the starting center. Given the lack of depth, he would be worth rostering.

Nurkić missed Tuesday’s game with an illness but played through on Wednesday. He’s questionable once again, and so is Kevin Love, who started in place of Nurkić on Tuesday. Depending on the status of both players, Kyle Filipowski could be in line for a significant boost in minutes.

George and Nurkić are back after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers, stepping in for Isaiah Collier and Kevin Love. While Love (rest) is out, Collier will come off the bench. The other change to the lineup is Mykhailiuk, who steps in for Cody Williams (illness).

Nurkić is good to go after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers. He’ll slide into his usual spot in the starting lineup, with Kyle Filipowski missing out on a boost to his fantasy value.

Nurkić has a chance to return for the second leg of Utah’s back-to-back set after sitting out the first leg on Tuesday. Kevin Love (rest) started in Nurkić’s place in that one, but Love will get the night off against Golden State. If Nurkić ends up sitting out again, Kyle Filipowski could enter the starting lineup.

Nurkić will get the night off after playing through his questionable tag on Saturday, and he should be replaced in the starting lineup by Love, who has been upgraded to available. Kyle Filipowski should enjoy additional run, too.

Nurkić was initially questionable for Saturday’s loss to the Heat due to an illness, but he played and extended his triple-double streak to three games. This time, the 7-footer is listed as doubtful, so it’s more likely than not that he won’t play. If Nurkić sits, Kevin Love (knee) could replace him in the starting lineup, as he’s listed as probable.

After joining Pete Maravich in the Jazz record books in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Nurkić made more history on Saturday. The veteran center became the first player in franchise history to record a triple-double in three consecutive games. Nurkić has played in each of Utah’s last four games, but the availability is a concern due to the Jazz prioritizing the development of their young players. As long as he’s playing starters’ minutes, Nurk’s presence limits Kyle Filipowski (9/4/3/1 with one three-pointer in 16 minutes) from a fantasy standpoint.

Initially doubtful for Saturday’s game, Nurkić is now listed as available. However, there have been a few instances this season in which the 7-footer has not played despite not being ruled out. In short, fantasy managers should wait until the Jazz announce the starters before committing to slotting Nurkić into their lineups.

Nurkić was initially listed as doubtful with an illness. With the 31-year-old center being upgraded to questionable Saturday, his odds of suiting up against the Heat have certainly improved. With his status still up in the air, though, Kyle Filipowski could move into the starting lineup and be worth streaming if Nurkić is ruled out prior to game-time.

It looks like Nurkić will have to wait at least one more game before attempting to go for his third straight triple-double. With Kevin Love (knee) out, Kyle Filipowski should slide into the starting lineup and be a high-upside streaming option.

If the Jazz were hoping to drum up trade interest for Nurkić ahead of the February 5 deadline, the last two games won’t hurt. On Thursday, the 7-footer became the first player to record triple-doubles in consecutive games in the franchise’s history in Utah. Counting the New Orleans years, Nurkić and the late, great Pete Maravich are the only Jazz players to record a triple-double in consecutive games. The concern at this point is the injury management nights, as Nurk has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

Nurkić had had a double-double in five of his last eight games entering play Tuesday. Against the Timberwolves, the 31-year-old center had a triple-double with 16 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Nurkić has been great for fantasy when he’s played, but missed three games due to Coach’s Decision. With the Jazz shorthanded, he should remain in the starting lineup for the time being.

After three games as a DNP- Coach’s Decision, Nurkić returned to the starting lineup for Utah. When he’s played as of late, Nurkić has been quite productive, and that continued in this game, despite a lack of defensive production, which has been vital to Nurkić’s value this season. Unfortunately, the inconsistency of his place in the rotation lately has made things difficult for fantasy managers. If he plays against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, he should make a big impact, but there’s no guarantee that happens.

Mykhailiuk and Nurkić will return to the starting lineup, pushing Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski back to the bench. Both should still play decent roles as reserves, but the streaming upside of both will be reduced. Mykhailiuk isn’t a reliable fantasy option, but Nurkić has had success as a starter this season.

Nurkić was a surprise DNP on Wednesday despite having played 30 minutes on Monday. He had previously missed two games with a toe injury, but the Jazz are alternating giving players days off as they try not to win too many games. With Lauri Markkanen (illness) out again on Thursday, there’s a good chance that Nurkić could return to the starting lineup, which would cut into Kyle Filipowski’s minutes.

Nurkić had a toe injury that cost him two games, including Saturday’s historic 55-point loss to the Hornets. The 31-year-old center returned Monday night and continued his dominance on the glass, grabbing 17 rebounds. Nurkić has 44 rebounds over his last three games now. He’s provided 12th-round per game value this season and first-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Nurkić will return to Utah’s lineup following a two-game absence, which means Kevin Love should shift back to the bench. Love may still earn some rotation minutes, as Cleveland utilizes a double-big lineup with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.

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.
