6 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter played a heavy 40 minutes on Sunday and he made a solid impact with a double-double in the 100-96 win over the Nuggets. Kanter scored 12 points on 6-for-13 shooting and added 13 rebounds with an assist. Kanter's numbers were there, but he again struggled to defend Nikola Jokic on the block and his lack of foot speed will definitely be an issue in their next series with the Warriors. We should assume Kanter will see his minutes tick down against Golden State, and it might be a good idea to avoid him in DFS for Game 1 to see how the Trail Blazers utilize their big man.--Gianni Costantiello
