Nurkic shoots 61 percent
Jusuf Nurkic played an amazing game against the Phoenix Suns. He scored 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block.
He shot an amazing 61.5 percent from the field and made eight of his 14 field goal attempts.

Nurkic has continued to play well but Nurkic still has to learn to play consistently in order for the Trailblazers to survive the extremely tough western conference.
