Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Swats four shots in win
Gafford provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over the Pistons.
Gafford provided a defensive spark to help the Wizards snap their nine-game losing streak, as he recorded multiple blocks for the third straight game. This was the third time this season that the big man has tallied at least four blocks in a contest, and he ranks seventh in the league with 2.0 swats per game. Gafford added to his defensive effort Monday with an efficient night as a shooter and finished one board short of notching his third double-double of the campaign.

Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Records double-double Wednesday
Gafford notched 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to the Hornets.
Gafford scored in double figures for a fifth consecutive matchup Wednesday and was also a force on the boards en route to his second double-double of the season. Over 10 appearances this month, he's averaged 9.9 points and 7.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game.

Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Just short of double-double
Gafford totaled 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to Dallas.
Gafford has only one double-double through nine games to begin the season, but the fifth-year center has pulled down nine boards in three of the last four contests. He's had a solid start to the campaign, averaging 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game -- both of which would be career-high marks. Given the Wizards' lack of depth in the frontcourt, coach Wes Unseld's options at center are essentially either Gafford or running with a small-ball lineup, so the 25-year-old's court time this season should be very secure.
