Jusuf Nurkic Hits Career-High Five Treys
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic feasted against the Hornets on Monday, finishing a 124-113 win with a season-high 28 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, two steals and three blocks. His work included a career-high five makes from deep with seven attempts. The Bosnian Beast shot 8-for-12 overall from the field and 7-for-10 at the foul line. Nurkic has had a pretty quiet fantasy year, but performances like these show that he's a very talented big man who can affect games in many ways. The matchup was a great one as well, with Charlotte having the worst defensive numbers in the league against opposing centers. The next matchup against Golden State looks like a good one as well for Nurkic, as the Warriors give up plenty of points and rebounds to opposing bigs.
