#1 Jusuf Nurkic's explosive performance
Stat line: 25 points, 23 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks on 50.0 % shooting
Jusuf Nurkic is playing the best basketball of his NBA career which is evident as the 24-year-old is averaging career-high numbers in all five statistical categories. The Bosnian center has been causing problems to the defenders in the paint with his dominant performances.
Coming off a strong 14-point performance in only 21 minutes of action in the 34-point blowout win against the 76ers, Nurkic exploded once again en route to a historic 5 x 5 performance against the Kings.
He scored 25 points and snagged 23 rebounds to go along with 7 assists. Nurkic was also very effective on the defensive end as he accumulated 5 steals and blocked 5 shots. He was one of the main reason why the Blazers got this overtime victory.
