DeAndre Jordan records another double-double

Stop if you have heard this before, but last night DeAndre Jordan posted a double-double. Jordan had 11 points and 11 boards to go along with two assists in the Mavericks win over the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact:
It is so common for Jordan to accomplish the feat that this modest 11 and 11 night actually lowered his season average in rebounding (13.6), while maintaining his scoring average right at 11. While the double-double's have been Jordan's MO for years the other thing that owners have always relied on him for is his awful free-throw shooting, but this year he continues to defy that weakness as he was 3-for-4 last night and his percentage on the year now sits at an easily career-best 76. Those that drafted DeAndre planning to enjoy the rebounds while dealing with the struggles at the line should be ecstatic as now that we are over a quarter of the way into the season the numbers seem to be no fluke, and suggest that Jordan has indeed just improved upon the one major flaw in his game.
