Grizzlies' Marc Gasol: Scores 27 in win

Gasol posted 27 points (10-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one blocked shot across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 98-91 win against the Bulls.

Analysis:

Gasol dominated in the paint on Wednesday after struggling a bit in March, as he's scored only 16.6 points per game over 8 contests, which is well below his season average of 20.2 points per game. Although the Bulls aren't exactly the strongest team to determine an upward trend for Gasol, it's a good sign for the veteran center. Although the Grizzlies play slow, any deficiencies in pace don't overshadow Gasol's obvious value as a dependable big man who sees a lot of usage. He's a starter across all formats.
