Spurs' Pau Gasol: Records double-double in loss

Gasol registered 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 31 minutes in Thursday's 95-91 loss to the Bulls.

Analysis:

Though backup center Dewayne Dedmon is now healthy after missing a six games in November with knee injury, Gasol hasn't been forced to sacrifice as much playing time like he did to begin the season. Gasol has seen 28.0 minutes per game in his last five contests when both he and Dedmon have been available, averaging 12.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 three-pointers during that span. While those numbers are down from what he offered last season with the Bulls, Gasol still demands ownership in just about every fantasy format.
