Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic: Prolific production in win
Nurkic notched 27 points (12-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over Houston.
Nurkic put together his best game of the season up against an inexperienced Rockets frontcourt. After a couple of sub-par performances, managers have to be thrilled with the numbers he put up in this one, reminding everyone just what he can do on a basketball court. Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers don't play again until Wednesday, meaning he will have to maintain his momentum away from the court.

Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic: Productive despite poor shooting
Nurkic recorded 13 points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 135-110 victory over the Nuggets.
Nurkic was more aggressive than usual on offense, putting up a season-high 12 shots. He got only four of those to fall but made up for the poor shooting with a dogged effort on the defensive end, helping to hold reigning MVP Nikola Jokic to just nine points. The big man also dished a season-high six assists and grabbed 12 boards to finish with this third straight double-double. Nurkic's fantasy value is limited by modest scoring and below-average shot-blocking for his position, but he's been a major asset on the boards this season, ranking fifth in the league with 12.3 rebounds per contest.
