Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic: Another double-double Thursday

Nurkic amassed 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 27 minutes in Thursday's 110-95 win over the Knicks.

Analysis:

Nurkic has now rattled off three straight double-doubles and has five straight double-digit scoring efforts as he continues to serve as a viable third option in a Blazers offense typically dominated by the backcourt duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. The third-year big man is still finding ways to contribute, however, and is averaging 14.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals in March.
