Wizards' Marcin Gortat: Dominates boards Saturday

Gortat tallied six points (2-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday's 98-93 loss to the Hornets.

Analysis:

Gortat has seen his playing time decrease since the return of Ian Mahinmi -- averaging just 25.8 minutes per game since the All-Star break compared to his 34.6 minute per game mark prior to the break. That being said, Gortat is still averaging an impressive 9.2 rebounds per game since across his last 13 games despite the decreased role. While his fantasy value has certainly decreased along with his minutes, the 6-11 center still remains a quality fantasy option due to his double-double potential.
