Jusuf NurkicC, Portland Trail BlazersJusuf Nurkic was great in Tuesday's 110-102 win over the Rockets, scoring 18 points while corralling 19 points, three assists, a steal and three more blocks.
As if Nurkic couldn't get back into the hearts of fantasy GMs fast enough, he also went 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. He's elevating the Blazers to a serious threat in the West, and a healthy Nurkic makes them a dreadful draw for any team if they manage to get into the postseason. Expect early-round numbers from here on out given the condensed player pool, and he may still have some upside to scratch if he can limit his fouls.
