Jusuf Nurkic Stays Effective In Loss To Rockets
7 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic posted his 11th consecutive game with 10-plus points on Thursday against the Rockets, bagging another double-double in the process. He grabbed 11 boards, which makes it five double-doubles in the last seven games for him. Nurkic has also been providing plenty of blocks and steals lately, although that wasn't the case against Houston. He'll get an uncomfortable matchup next against the Spurs, but Damian Lillard's return should open up more space for him to operate and he could still end up having a good game. Looking at recent form, you could even say that it's likely.
