Gasol totaled seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and four blocks across 24 minutes in Sunday's 114-96 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
A night after poured in 27 points against the Warriors, Gasol was much less active in what turned out to be a relatively comfortable win for the Grizzlies. It was his lowest scoring tally since he'd mustered six points back on Oct. 28 versus the Rockets, while his minutes were actually his fewest of the season. With the atypical clunker now behind him, Gasol will look to bounce back against the Clippers in a favorable matchup on Tuesday night.

Gasol scored 27 points (10-13 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding six rebounds, two steals and an assist in 28 minutes during Saturday's 141-128 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol only missed three shots and was perfect from beyond the arc and the charity stripe, further padding his 42 percent field-goal percentage for the season. He's really outperforming previous career numbers from three-point range, as he's attempted an average of 4.3 threes per game in 36 games. Gasol and the Grizzlies played well overall but ultimately couldn't completely contain the Warriors to keep things competitive, and Gasol's weak defensive numbers indicate that fact. Memphis' game pace has picked up in recent weeks, so Gasol is a center worth starting in all formats.

Gasol produced 18 points (4-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 99-97 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol salvaged a poor shooting night with a near-perfect performance from the charity stripe, his third game in the last eight in which he's put up double-digit free-throw attempts. The 10-year veteran has now shot under 40.0 percent in six of his last eight games, but he's still managed to hit double-digits in the scoring column in all 14 December contests. Despite the recent struggles, Gasol's usage should continue to be even greater than usual while Mike Conley (Achilles) remains sidelined.

Gasol scored 17 points (7-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding 15 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a blocked shot in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-115 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Both Gasol and DeAndre Jordan were rebounding machines in this matchup but Gasol was unquestionably the better player, as he was a dominating presence inside as well as on the perimeter where went 33 percent from beyond the arc. For the time being, Memphis' offense flows through Gasol and Tyreke Evans, and their fortunes will dictate how well the Grizzlies do moving forward. This game shouldn't have been this close, and it's clear Gasol needs more help to get the job done. He's a solid mid-tier center that should be owned in all formats.

Gasol (hip) will start Saturday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
This is a bit surprising, considering that Gasol was listed as doubtful heading into Saturday. He hasn't actually missed any time because of the hip injury, since he sustained it during the Grizzlies' previous game Thursday against the Suns, where Gasol had a 38-minute outing.

Gasol is listed as doubtful to play, Saturday against the Spurs due to a left hip injury.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first we've heard of the injury, which Gasol apparently sustained at some point during Thursday's loss to the Suns. He played 38 minutes in that contest, finishing with 13 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and three blocks. Assuming Gasol sits Saturday, Brandan Wright, Deyonta Davis and Ivan Rabb could each see increased time.

Gasol scored 13 points (6-19 FG, 1-7 3PT) to go with 10 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 38 minutes during Thursday's 97-95 loss to Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
While Gasol was less than efficient from the floor (31.3 percent) and even less so from beyond the arc (14.2 percent), he still managed to collect a double-double on Thursday. In addition, the center collected 10 rebounds and chipped in on the defensive end with four blocks against Phoenix. As of late, Gasol is averaging a solid stat line of 19.2 points and 8.2 rebounds through 12 games in the month of December. After 13 points on Thursday, Gasol will look to bounce back in the points column against the Clippers on Saturday.

Gasol tallied 21 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 97-84 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol continues to do a lot of the heavy lifting on offense without the injured Mike Conley (Achilles). His rebounding numbers remain up on last season, however, some of his other numbers are beginning to trend in the wrong direction. The current status of the team is something new for Gasol and it will be interesting to see how he handles the adversity. There have been rumors of a trade but nothing has been confirmed or denied. He is clearly a must-own player but is worth keeping an eye on in case there is a change in his circumstances.

Gasol finished with 19 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 107-82 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol led his team in scoring but was underwhelming in the heavy defeat. He has been decent for owners so far this season, but has been trending down over the last few weeks. He is still scoring the ball, but his rebounds and blocks have fallen away. This could have something to do with Mike Conley (Achilles) being out of the lineup for an extended period, and also the return of JaMychal Green. He will look to bounce back Wednesday, when his team visits Washington.

Gasol recorded 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and a blocked shot across 42 minutes in Saturday's 102-101 overtime loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol once again wielded a big offensive presence for the Grizzlies, but Gasol had difficulty snagging the Thunder's errant shots, as most fell to Tyreke Evans in the backcourt. Gasol's fortunes often mimic the outcome for Memphis, but tonight was a bit of an aberration.The Grizzlies will often play in games with low Over/Under lines, but Gasol is currently the second-best scoring option on the team and still warrants ownership in seasonal leagues.
