Jusuf Nurkic (knee) good to go for Trail Blazers Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (sore right knee) will play on Tuesday against the Miami Heat.
Nurkic sat out last Wednesday's game and the Trail Blazers haven't played since, so he's had a full nine days to rest what was never believed to be much of an issue in the first place. Meyers Leonard will return to Portland's bench as a result. In five games before the absence, Nurkic averaged 18.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 3.0 blocks.
numberFire's models expect Nurkic to score 40.9 FanDuel points, at a cost of $9,300, on Tuesday.
