Jusuf Nurkic

C, Portland Trail Blazers

Jusuf Nurkic was a force on both ends of the floor for the Blazers on Thursday, slowing down former teammate Nikola Jokic, while posting 22 points on 9-of-20 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 from the line.

Nurkic has been playing well in since the league resumed, breaching the 20-point bubble twice in four games. He's also averaging a laudable 3.3 blocks per game as well, making him one of the best two-way centers in the league at the moment.
