Kia Nurse

Nurse reclaimed a starting role during Thursday's regular-season finale in place of Elizabeth Williams. Nurse stepped up with a somewhat efficient performance and posted her 14th double-digit scoring total of the season. The 29-year-old started in just 18 of her 44 appearances this year, but her production remained relatively steady, as she averaged 7.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.9 minutes per game. Nurse will have an opportunity to explore other opportunities as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Nurse is averaging 8.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 19.7 minutes across her previous six appearances, and she's earned the start in her squad's last matchup of the regular season. This marks her first start since Aug. 3 against Phoenix. Nurse will take the place of Elizabeth Williams, who has been cleared to play after previously battling a calf injury but will be deployed off the bench Thursday evening.

Nurse might have played slightly more off the bench if it hadn't been for her three personal fouls during Wednesday's matchup. She has averaged 10.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.4 made three-pointers per game across her last four outings.

Nurse has been limited to a bench role in the last few weeks, and while that has somewhat limited her fantasy upside, she has been finding ways to remain relevant. This was the third time she scored in double digits off the bench across her last five outings, a span in which she's shooting 48.5 percent from the floor and 50 percent from three-point range.

Nurse established a season high in points Saturday, catching fire from downtown to tie a season best in three-pointers as well. Nurse has slid back to the bench for eight consecutive outings since Ariel Atkins returned, averaging just 5.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.6 minutes per game. Nurse should remain hard-pressed for stable fantasy value while Atkins is healthy despite Saturday's outburst.
