Nikola Mirotic is having the season of his life and has been a walking double-double to start the season. He has been scoring a truckload of points and pulling boards like it's nothing and continued his dominance at the Oracle Arena.

Mirotic was hot from the field and went 10-15 with an eye-catching field-goal percentage of 66.7. He dominated in the paint and posed a serious threat to the Warriors. Even though the rest of the crew failed to perform, it was Mirotic whose performance kept the Pelicans in the game.

He finished the game with 26 points, 12 rebounds and posted yet another double-double. He now has four double-doubles this season already, in just seven games. The Pelicans got off to a 4-0 start but now have lost three games in a row including the loss to Golden State but that doesn't seem to be affecting Mirotic's performances.
