Jusuf Nurkic posts a double-double in Blazers' blowout win
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic logged a double-double on Wednesday with 11 points and 11 rebounds in a 124-76 win over the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Nurkic struggled from the floor (2-for-7) but found success at the line, hitting 7-of-10 free throw attempts. With the game out of hand, the big man played just 23 minutes, under his average of 29.2 minutes per game with the Blazers last season. With the Indiana Pacers show no affinity for defense on Wednesday, 131 points allowed, Nurkic should get a few more baskets on Friday night.
Nurkic recorded just 23.7 FanDuel points on Wednesday but is projected for 35.4 fantasy points in 31.6 minutes of action on Friday in Indiana.
