Jusuf Nurkic

C, Portland Trail Blazers

Jusuf Nurkic (left shin splint) logged 37 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Lakers, putting up 16 points on 6-of-16 shooting with 10 rebounds, six dimes, one trey, five steals and one blocked shot.

Nurkic has put up a strong showing since the league resumed in late July and all the way into the first round of the playoffs. He's showed a tantalizingly diverse stat set and a clear indicator that he's healthy – aside from a couple of occasions where he was gassed. At the end of the day, Nurkic was able to salvage his fantasy outlook for 2020-21.
