Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic put up 21 points on 9-for-10 shooting Tuesday, to go with 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks in 27 minutes of Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Houston Rockets.
Nurkic and company couldn't get the win, but it was a stellar fantasy performance from the Bosnian Beast. He was aggressive throughout the game, and he absolutely destroyed Clint Capela's defense. Nurkic has the ability to put up big nights, but it still doesn't come as consistently as fantasy owners would like.
Our early models for Friday project Nurkic for 30.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,200.
