Jusuf Nurkic

C, Portland Trail Blazers

Jusuf Nurkic started at center for the Blazers on Friday and made an impressive debut for his team, swatting six shots to go along with 18 points on 5-of-11 shooting with nine rebounds, five assists and two steals.

Nurkic is clearly healthy and his big game is proof enough. The Blazers needed him to help grind out the Grizzlies in this OT thriller. He's gotten right at the perfect time and will be the team's go-to scorer in the paint moving forward.
