Hawks' Paul Millsap: Delivers full stat line in return from injury

Millsap (hip) tallied 24 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 39 minutes in Monday's 102-99 loss to the Thunder.

Analysis:

Millsap had missed the previous three games with the left hip injury, but since he didn't require an MRI or any extensive tests on the issue and looked strong while logging a hefty minutes load Monday, it appears there's little for fantasy owners to worry about regarding his health. The veteran power forward's production has slipped a little this season as he adjusts to playing alongside his new frontcourt partner in Dwight Howard, but Millsap's averages of 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers have still made him an upper-tier fantasy option at his position.
