7 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic had a great game on Tuesday against the Pelicans, as he scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to record his 22nd double-double of the season. He also had four blocks while shooting 10-for-14 from the floor. The Bosnian has had some tough times this season, but he's done very well this month, averaging a double-double with 15.1 points and 10.3 rebounds. He could have a monster night on Wednesday, as Damian Lillard hasn't traveled to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies and his absence will greatly boost Nurkic's usage rate.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
