Gasol (neck) submitted a season-high 24 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT) to go with nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 110-105 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy owners who stayed patient with Gasol after his weak start to the season are certainly reaping the benefits of late, as coach Gregg Popovich has shown a willingness to loosen the reins on the veteran. Since playing a season-low 13 minutes in a Nov. 9 loss to the Rockets, Gasol has topped the 30-minute mark in four straight games, averaging 18.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.8 blocks per contest while shooting 53.4 percent from the field during that stretch.
