We would not want to kick you now that you are down, but we wrote here some time ago you should seriously consider Nurkic for your fantasy team. Jusuf Nurkic went off in a 122-113 win over his former team on Tuesday, scoring a career-high 33 points on 12-of-15 shooting (9-of-11 FTs). He wanted this win in the worst way and his teammates swarmed him after his career night with the Blazer crowd chanting his name like a scene in Gladiator. He ripped down 16 rebounds with two assists and three blocks in 33 minutes, giving his team a 1.0 game lead over the Nuggets for the No. 8 seed in the West. He's been phenomenal since his move to Portland and he will likely be on a lot of championship rosters in fantasy leagues. And here the last five games again: **Mar-28 @DEN:71 Mar-26 @LAL:37 Mar-25 @MIN:36 Mar-23 @NYK:40 Mar-21 @MIL:45** For only **5,380,000 $**, he is still a bargain in the fantasy league.
