3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic notched 12 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes before fouling out in Wednesday's loss to Golden State. This was a nice line from the Bosnian, but he had a rough 5-for-14 shooting night and gave away the ball five times. Nurkic has been a lot more involved on offense lately, with Damian Lillard (abdomen) and C.J. McCollum (lung) unavailable. Lillard looks to be on track to return on Sunday against Minnesota, but McCollum has been ruled out indefinitely, so Nurkic has to work on his shooting to be ready for more shots. Sunday's matchup is a pretty good one for him as well, with Minnesota giving up 18.3 rebounds per 48 minutes to centers and allowing them to shoot 55.3 percent from the field.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
