Nuggets' Danilo Gallinari: Double-doubles in return

Gallinari scored 21 points (2-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 17-18 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and a steal across 35 minutes in Friday's 125-117 win over the Pacers.

Analysis:

Although Gallinari struggled with his shot in his first game back from injury, he certainly got down and dirty inside with 11 boards and two blocks. One of the reasons he struggled a bit is that he was fouled repeatedly in the act of shooting, which resulted in an impressive 17-for-18 from the charity stripe. He led the team in usage so it appears the Nuggets are fine with letting him loose. This is certainly good news for owners who had to watch him sit on the bench in the closing weeks of their seasons. He's also immediately back on the radar in DFS formats and should come at a reasonable price as he returns to action.
