Gortat finished with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-6 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 42 minutes in Friday's 107-105 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

With backup center Ian Mahinmi (knee) still sidelined, Gortat was forced to take on another heavy minutes load, but he didn't wilt from the added playing time. The points and rebounds were both season highs for Gortat, who has already amassed 14 double-doubles in 18 contests. It's expected that the Wizards will reduce Gortat's workload eventually, but he'll remain a premium fantasy asset while coach Scott Brooks continues to hand him around 35 minutes per contest.
