3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic had one of his best games of the season on Monday against Utah, finishing a blowout loss with 24 points and 10 rebounds. He made his only attempt from deep and shot 9-for-13 overall from the field with a 5-for-7 effort at the line in 27 minutes. The Blazers will be back at it on Tuesday against the Pistons, who have the league's lowest rebounding rate, so this could be a spot for another nice double-double for Nurkic. As a center, Nurkic also had a wonderful matchup against San Antonio later in the week. The Spurs struggle to rebound the ball as well and they have the third-worst defensive record against opposing centers.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
