Jusuf Nurkic fills up the stat-sheet as Portland beats Orlando
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic made his first start as a Blazer on Monday, exploding for 12 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 34 minutes of action as the Blazers beat the Orlando Magic 112-103
What It Means:
This was only his second game since the Denver Nuggets traded him to Portland, and he seems to be fitting in well in his new home. He averaged 8.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 blocks in 17.9 minutes per game in 45 games with the Nuggets to start the year.
Nurkic finished third among Blazers players with a 9.6 nERD in Thursday's win, per numberFire Live. His season-long number sits at a shaky 401st out of 463 players, but that seems likely to improve.
