Wizards' Marcin Gortat: Records second straight double-double

Gortat filled the stat sheet with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 43 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.

Analysis:

Gortat has been relied upon heavily this season by the Wizards with Ian Mahinmi (knee) missing significant time to start the season, and this game was no different, as he led the team in minutes played. The 32-year-old is now averaging 37.7 minutes through three games and the heavy usage has translated into double-digit rebounds in every game, including a second straight double-double. Gortat had 41 double-doubles last season and he should approach that number again, even though Mahinmi could return by December.
