Nurkic posted 16 points (8-12 FG, 0-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 105-91 win over the Jazz.
It's the first double-double for Nurkic since Nov. 5, when it first looked like he was on track for a breakout season. He's slumped in the subsequent two weeks while coach Michael Malone has rejiggered his frontcourt rotation, but Nurkic's last two games have been encouraging. He's seen more than 25 minutes in both tilts while totaling a combined 30 points on 13-of-21 shooting from the floor. Nurkic's playing time may vary somewhat depending on matchups, but he still seems like a generally reliable weekly starting option outside of the shallowest of formats.
