What It Means:

Nurkic sat out last Wednesday's game and the Trail Blazers haven't played since, so he's had a full nine days to rest what was never believed to be much of an issue in the first place. Meyers Leonard will return to Portland's bench as a result. In five games before the absence, Nurkic averaged 18.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 3.0 blocks.

numberFire's models expect Nurkic to score 40.9 FanDuel points, at a cost of $9,300, on Tuesday.
