Timberwolves' Nemanja Bjelica: Posts double-double in road victory

Bjelica totaled 10 points (4-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt) to go with 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Monday's 102-88 victory over the Kings.

Analysis:

It was Bjelica's first double-double of the season, and his 35 minutes were his most since mid-November. Bjelica had seen just 14 minutes in the Timberwolves' previous contest, so he'll probably need to log extensive playing time over several games in a row before generating interest in most deeper leagues. When he receives ample run, Bjelica profiles as a more capable source of scoring and three-pointers than rebounding; he's averaging 1.5 triples per game over his last six outings.
