Wizards' Marcin Gortat: Continues seeing decreased role Tuesday

Gortat finished with six points (3-8 FG), three rebounds, one assist, and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 131-127 victory over the Suns.

Analysis:

Gortat has seen his role within the Wizards' rotation decrease over the past six outings -- averaging just 23.5 minutes per game over that stretch compared to his season average of 33.5 minutes per game -- as coach Scott Brooks is opting to feature Ian Mahinmi more within the gameplan. Though Gortat is certainly capable of producing solid numbers while seeing around 25 minutes per game, those numbers likely won't stack up to what fantasy owners expect from him. With many fantasy formats heading into the playoffs soon, those with Gortat on their roster have difficult questions to ask about his presence moving forward.
