Question to all... if by February Nurk and Zach are both healthy but the Blazers are out of the playoffs. Do you play them or just rest them for next season?
You play them, try for the 8th seed, and mess up everyone's bracket. The only way I wouldn't play them is if were essentially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs or it was risky to one or both of their long term health.
For Nurk you play him ONLY if his leg is 100% and if it is, you play him whether the playoffs are a thing or not, just getting his confidence up that he can play on the leg will be huge going into next year. I haven't snapped a bone like that, but I've dealt with significant injuries and the hardest part is mental.
If there's a realistic chance at the 8th seed or better you play them. Otherwise shut them down and I want Hoard and Moses in the starting lineup ! gunning for those sweet sweet lottery picks
