Mickael Pietrus scores 21 in 40 minutes
Mickael Pietrus - G/F - Toronto Raptors
Dec. 6, 2012 - 2:15 AM ET
Mickael Pietrus started for the Raptors on Wednesday and exploded for 21 points, six rebounds, a steal and two 3-pointers on 8-of-15 shooting in a whopping 40 minutes.
Pietrus had totaled just nine points in his two other games this season, but was clearly a huge part of Toronto's rotation tonight with Linas Kleiza, Alan Anderson and Landry Fields all out with various injuries. And while Anderson and Fields aren't due back anytime soon, if Kleiza continues to sit with a hip injury, Pietrus could be ready to go on a tear. He's worth a possible flier in deep leagues, and is worth keeping an eye on over the next couple games in all other leagues.
