Wizards' Marcin Gortat: Records fifth double-double in ten games

Gortat scored 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT) and added 14 rebounds and one assist in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the 76ers.

Analysis:

This was Gortat's fifth double-double of the season, and he has reached either 10 points or 10 rebounds in every game this season. While the veteran center should continue to rake in the double-doubles with ease as the season progresses, it may not be sustainable for coach Scott Brooks to hold the 32-year-old to his current average of 34.9 minutes per game. Once the Wizards get Ian Mahinmi (knee) back later in the season, Gortat could start begin to pick up more rest as the Wizards look to preserve his body for the 82-game schedule.
