Jusuf Nurkic (back) questionable for Trail Blazers on Friday
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (lower back soreness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Nurkic scored 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds while playing 27 minutes against Clint Capela and the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, so this doesn't sound like a major concern. In the event he can't play, Ed Davis would benefit the most while Zach Collins and Meyers Leonard could also see a boost.
Nurkic is averaging 31.1 FanDuel points per game this season, with 14.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.3 blocks per contest.
