Nemanja Bjelica Records Double-Double In Tuesday's Win
5 years agoSacramento Kings power forward Nemanja Bjelica recorded his first double-double of the season in a 107-99 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. The 19 points and 12 rebounds were both season highs for the 31-year-old, and much like his teammate Bogdan Bogdanovic, it seems that Bjelica stepped up in De'Aaron Fox's absence. The star guard won't have his ankle injury re-evaluated for three to four weeks and there will be plenty of opportunities for several Kings players to put up fantasy relevant performances. The Kings complete Week 4 with games against the Lakers and Celtics. Both of those teams are in the top 10 against power forwards, so Bjelica may have a hard time replicating his performance against those two frontcourts.
