4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (quad) was questionable heading into the contest but put together a strong line for his fantasy managers in Wednesday's win. Nurkic scored a season-high 18 points with 12 rebounds, three blocks, and two steals in 30 minutes. The minutes were the most he's played since the second game of the season, as he's been overshadowed by Enes Kanter at times. Wednesday's defensive effort by Nurkic was something Kanter is often not capable of- hopefully, it earns him more minutes moving forward. The Bosnian big man gets a tough matchup on Thursday against Pacers' center Myles Turner, who is currently leading the league in blocks.--Tim Capurso
