Jusuf Nurkic (back, calf, oblique) questionable Wednesday for Portland
Per Casey Holdahl of TrailBlazers.com, Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is questionable to play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Nurkic played just 14 minutes on Sunday. In addition to suffering from lower back soreness, he's dealing with strains of his right calf and right oblique. Given that the All-Star break is coming, the Blazers may opt to hold him out for an extra day in hopes that he'll return at 100% after the break. If that happens, look for Ed Davis to start and Zach Collins to get more minutes off the bench.
As of now, our models like Nurkic to tally 31 FanDuel points over 26.8 minutes on Wednesday night.
