Kurucs accrued 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and a steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 117-113 win over the Heat.
Only three minutes were needed for the 21-year-old to tie his season high in points (nine) before he scored 10 more the rest of the way. The sophomore forward got a second straight start with teammate Garrett Temple out (knee) and delivered his career-best shooting performance (78 percent under a minimum nine shots). Kurucs has mostly played this year in the G League, so fantasy owners shouldn't be too hasty, but continuing performances like these may warrant a regular NBA roster spot for him.
