Marcin Gortat Fantasy Stats

Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat has scored more than 10 points just once in his last eight games. That should change Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Since joining the Wizards, Gortat is averaging 11.3 points and 8.1 rebounds against the Suns. It's not much more, but the Polish Hammer could put up better owners for fantasy owners this evening.

As we search for any indications of who will emerge victorious from tonight's series-deciding game between the Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics, the center position is a clear factor. This is specific when it comes to playing against Al Horford, the starting center for the Celtics. In the first three games in Boston, Wizards players who were guarded by Horford shot 34 percent from the field, while that percentage went up to 47 in the three games at the Verizon Center. This becomes clearer when looking at Marcin Gortat, who went 7-for-10 against Horford in Washington, but 4-for-11 against him in Boston. Coming off the positive three games at home, Gortat must sustain that effectiveness if Washington is to prevail tonight.
