Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic (back) is expected to play Friday night
Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (back) is expected to play against the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
Nurkic has apparently been dealing with soreness in his lower back since a dominating performance against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. It looks like he'll be able to play through the injury, however, as the Blazers look to start a new winning streak.
The Blazers' big man is averaging 31.1 FanDuel points per game this season. We project him for 30.2 FanDuel points against the Celtics tonight.
