Pelicans' Nikola Mirotic puts together full line off the bench on Wednesday
In Wednesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic posted 16 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals in 30 minutes off the bench.
Initially it sounded like Mirotic would get the start over Emeka Okafor, but he remained on the bench for Wednesday's game. Even so, he didn't disappoint, putting up another solid stat line for his new team. Since joining New Orleans, across six games Mirotic has averaged 15.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals in 34.0 minutes. The Pelicans will face the Miami Heat after the All-Star break.
Mirotic scored 37.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday, marking the third straight game he's exceeded his season average (29.4).
