7 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins filled in nicely for Jusuf Nurkic (leg) in his club's 111-102 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Collins finished the night with 12 points while getting up seven shots from deep, but he only made two of them. Collins was able to grab five rebounds to add to his line in 22 minutes of action. Nurkic went down with a leg injury and did not return to action, which led to the Blazers relying on their rookie big man. Nurkic should be good to go for Game 3, but if he is not, Collins makes for an intriguing play in DFS, so keep an eye on the Bosnian's status leading up to Thursday's Game 3 in New Orleans.--Gianni Costantiello
