Nikola Pekovic goes for 18 points, 12 boards
Nikola Pekovic - C - Minnesota Timberwolves
March 22, 2013 - 1:15 AM ET

Nikola Pekovic scored 18 points with 12 boards and one steal in 34 minutes against the Kings on Thursday.

It was his first productive game since returning from an abdomen injury, averaging just 11.0 points and 5.5 boards in 24.0 minutes in those two games. Pekovic has battled injuries for a large chunk of the year, but he's a must-start center as long as he's healthy.
