This number feels too low for Big Nurk. Nurkic has been battling an illness but we’re hoping he's back and healthy tonight for a game he will be much needed to be on the court against Gobert. Nurkic has a great history vs. Gobert and has 30, 23, 34, and 26 PR against him in his last four contests. He is 2/2 on hitting this prop against him this year. Rebounds look like the better play at just 9.5, but something tells me he scores today if he sees the minutes.
Nurkic is projected to nearly 24+ PR on every model I see, so getting this at 22.5 with no juice really feels like a value we can’t pass up on. Gobert typically struggles against bigs who can shoot and Nurkic falls under that category. I’m guessing that Minnesota will do everything they can to limit Dame as he’s been torching them all year for 35+ points. This should leave Jusuf in favorable positions to score and rebound.
Nurkic averages 24.0 PR on the season so we’re getting a nice discount here. This game projects to be close and high scoring, so as long as our guy stays out of foul trouble, he should see his typical 25+ minutes. All signs point to him playing as he is probable, but if he’s ruled out then no harm/no foul as we get a refund. Let's hope this is an easy one and Nurkic gives it to Rudy once again, let's roll!
