Rodions Kurucs News
Power forwards/centers P.J. Tucker and Rodions Kurucs have been dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks, alongside the team's 2022 first-round Draft pick, which was returned in a deal with the Houston Rockets. Tucker has sat out the past four games in hopes of having his trade request filled, as he's now expected to play the role of tough-nosed defender with the Bucks. Averaging 4.4 points and 4.6 boards in his 32 games (all starts) this year, Tucker holds little fantasy intrigue in wake of the deal as he should see a decreased role within a loaded Bucks roster. Kurucs is similarly on the outside looking in of the mix for Milwaukee, having played more than 10 minutes in just one contest this season.
Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum (calf) have been traded to the Houston Rockets in a massive blockbuster deal. Most importantly, the Rockets received Victor Oladipo and seven first-round picks in exchange for James Harden. They also snag two depth players in Kurucs and Exum. The Rockets have plenty of forwards already and Exum doesn't stay on the court long enough to be relevant in fantasy leagues. Both players can remain on the waiver wire.
Brooklyn Nets power forward/center Rodions Kurucs (ankle) will be unavailable for Tuesday's contest against the Jazz due to an ankle ailment. Kurucs has appeared in just three games this season, having scored a combined three points. Despite having started 46 contests for the team just two years ago, the 22-year-old from Latvia has seen his role decrease expeditiously amid Brooklyn's new-look roster. Even with Kevin Durant (COVID-19 protocols) expected to miss the next four games, Kurucs figured to have little fantasy intrigue, which will allow fantasy managers to keep him on the wire moving forward.
Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs was reportedly starting at power forward during practice on Friday. The team is already down seven players for the upcoming NBA restart. Taurean Prince recently opted out which opened up more playing time for Kurucs going forward. The organization went through it's first 5-on-5 practice on Friday with Kurucs starting. It's unclear who else the team plans to bring in, but Kurucs is expected to have a significant role. He could have sneaky DFS value because of how much playing time he'll receive with the Nets shorthanded.
