Analysis:
The Wolves play again on Monday and Pekovic will be questionable to play in that contest as well. When he does return, it will likely take a few games at least to get back into game shape, which will severely limit his court time. Once back to full health, Pekovic isn't a great fantasy option, contributing only in the points and rebounds categories, averaging 11.9 points and 8.1 rebounds this season on a pedestrian 42 percent shooting. As a center that blocks just 0.2 shots a game, Pekovic' usefulness in fantasy leagues has a definite ceiling.
