Nikola Pekovic (foot) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Pelicans

Pekovic (foot) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Pelicans, Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com reports.

Analysis:

Pekovic has missed the last four games, as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Pekovic joins Kevin Garnett (knee) as players likely going to sit out, which means extended frontcourt minutes for the likes of Karl-Anthony Towns and Gorgui Dieng. If Pekovic does indeed sit out, his next opportunity to take the court would be Wednesday versus the Raptors.
