Pekovic somewhat serviceable in start
Nikola Pekovic - C - Minnesota Timberwolves
Jan. 31, 2012 - 1:05 AM ET
Nikola Pekovic started for Darko Milicic (flu) again on Monday, scoring eight points on 4-of-6 shooting with seven rebounds and no steals or blocks in 19 minutes.
This is a bit disappointing, but Pek never got going after two quick fouls, which have been a trouble point for him. He has played pretty well lately, however, so owners should give him a look if they need a center. There is no guarantee that he will continue to start, but it could make sense for the Wolves to stick with him because he's more reliable than Darko.
