Jusuf Nurkic was sidelined due to injury, leading to Mason Plumlee starting in his place. Despite Nurkic's absence, the Suns showcased explosive offense and efficient play, contributing to their victory over the Jazz.

Jusuf Nurkic has been ruled out of the game against the Utah Jazz due to left ankle soreness. He started the first 10 games of the season, averaging 9.9 points and 10.2 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game. In the last outing against Sacramento, Nurkic played only 15 minutes, went scoreless, and exited after the first half due to the injury.

Jusuf Nurkic is positioned as a strong fantasy play against the Jazz, benefiting from a favorable matchup. Despite a recent ankle injury that limited him to just 15 minutes and 10.4 FanDuel points in his last game, he previously showcased his potential with impressive double-doubles, scoring 40, 50.1, and 32 FanDuel points in three prior outings. If he plays, he could provide significant value, especially if public interest shifts elsewhere due to his recent performance.

Jusuf Nurkic is questionable to play on Tuesday due to an ankle injury. If he is unable to go, Mason Plumlee is expected to start and take on a significant role. Nurkic's absence would open up opportunities for Plumlee to contribute in terms of rebounds and assists, as he has shown the ability to provide solid stats in an increased role.

Nurkic was questionable for the game due to left ankle soreness but started and played 15 minutes, contributing seven rebounds before being ruled out at halftime.
