Analysis:

Gallinari has been tremendously consistent over the past couple of weeks. He has exactly 22 points in each of his past three games, and he is averaging 22.0 points per game over his past five outings while posting two or more 3-pointers in each contest. Lately Gallinari has been nothing short of 'eccezionale', Italian for awesome.
