4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic saw just 20 minutes of action in the team's final regular-season game on Sunday, but he posted a nice 20-point, 13-rebound double-double in a 132-116 win over Denver. He shot 8-for-10 from the field and even made a three-pointer against his former team. Nurkic swatted away two shots and bagged a pair of assists with one steal. Nikola Jokic isn't a great defender, so Nurkic should feel very confident ahead of the first-round matchup between the two teams. The series starts at the weekend.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
