Jusuf Nurkic Expected To Play Thursday
9 months agoPhoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Thursday night's game against the Houston Rockets. The Bosnian big man was able to play in their last game as well where he registered 18 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and three turnovers across 37 minutes. Nurkic is in the middle of his third season while averaging double-digit rebounds and his second-best season in terms of assists per game with 3.8. He should remain in all fantasy lineups whenever he's active, especially given that he's in the top 90 in terms of nine-category leagues. The last time the Suns played the Rockets, Nurkic was absent and they dominated the boards, that should change with him back in the lineup.
