Jusuf Nurkic (C, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 50% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: So, after coming back from a knee procedure, it appears that Jusuf Nurkic's 15-minute cap is going to be raised according to Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post. This is good new for his value, although not so much for his teammate Nikola Jokic's fantasy value. On Sunday Nurkic notched 12 points and eight rebounds in 15 minutes of action. Then on Wednesday in 22 minutes, Nurkic racked up 15 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks. It's clear that Nurkic is trending in the right direction.

The main caveat here is that Jokic has been playing very well this season so he's not exactly going away. However Nurkic showed that he was capable of performing well on a regular basis last season, so even with Jokic dipping into his minutes, he's worth adding in a lot of leagues. The potential is there, it's just a matter of him staying healthy. Grab him where he's still available.
