Jusuf Nurkic, Zach Collins Showing Encouraging Signs
4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (leg) and forward Zach Collins (shoulder) have been looking good during recent practices, according to head coach Terry Stotts. Nurkic has not played this season after breaking his leg in March of 2019. However, he is not expected to be limited during the restart. Collins suffered a dislocated left shoulder in October and has been sidelined since then. He is expected to immediately slide into the starting power forward spot. Hassan Whiteside should lose some fantasy value and playing time with Nurkic and Collins returning. Both Nurkic and Collins should carry fairly decent DFS value, but Nurkic might only play around 20 minutes.
