PUSH
Nets vs. Jazz
Jusuf Nurkić: Points Under 12.5
ANALYSIS
We are targeting the Under as Nurkić remains questionable while battling a persistent illness that limited him to just 11 points in a season-low 23 minutes on Wednesday. This health-related ceiling aligns with his continued inefficiency in the 30th percentile for Post-Up PPP, making it highly unlikely he finds success against a Brooklyn interior currently ranking 3rd in Rim Protection Efficiency.
Key Data
Jazz Rim Protection: Rank 3rd, Post-Up PPP: 30th Percentile, Implied Probability: 77.5%
OUTCOME
Brooklyn Nets 109 - Utah Jazz 99
Nurkic finished with 9 points. Utah's guards (George and Sexton) dominated the offensive usage, and the Nets' switching defense prevented Nurkic from finding easy looks off the roll.
