Jusuf Nurkic Scores 22 Points Against Rockets
6 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic had no issues with Houston's interior defense in Tuesday's win over the Rockets, scoring 22 points on 7-for-10 shooting and grabbing 10 rebounds. Nurkic was coming off a pair of poor shooting performances and had began to open the door for backup center Zach Collins, so this strong showing couldn't have come at a better time. Portland plays the Pelicans on Thursday and the availability of Pelicans big Anthony Davis will determine how much fantasy owners can trust Nurkic; if Davis sits, Nurkic is a good DFS option against a team that would be without its best interior big.
