6 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic extended his double-double streak to three games on Saturday, needing only 24 minutes on the floor to post a nice 24-point, 10-rebound line against the Sixers. He shot 9-for-13 from the field in what was his fifth consecutive game with double-digit rebounds. Enes Kanter also dominated the paint with Joel Embiid (knee) missing for Philly, picking up 18 points and eight rebounds. Portland now head to Cleveland next on Monday. It could turn out to be a tricky game for both Nurkic and Kanter, as the Cavs have allowed the fewest points in the league per 48 minutes to opposing centers this season--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
