6 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans power forward Nikola Mirotic scored 25 points and grabbed five rebounds over 37 minutes in Monday's loss to the Celtics. He was 8-for-15 from the field, 6-for-11 from beyond the arc and 3-for-3 from the charity stripe. While his effort on the boards was disappointing, it was just the second time that he has failed to collect at least nine rebounds this month. The 27-year-old, who tied his season high in three-pointers, has knocked down 11 triples over the last two games. Mirotic will look to top the 20-point plateau for a third straight game against a Wizards team (Wednesday) that is the worst in the league at guarding the three-point line.--Daniel Benjamin
