Headlines

Gasol doesn't miss a beat in debut: Against the Bulls on Thursday, Lakers F/C Pau Gasol finally returned from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him for 11 games. He appeared fully healthy in his first appearance since early in the preseason, finishing with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Gasol scored 10 of the Lakers' first 13 points, moving easily on his injured leg while playing 35 minutes. "Definitely, I missed it a lot," said Gasol. "It's so much fun to play with our guys in front of our crowd. I really wasn't expecting to be as effective as I was tonight, but my teammates found me a couple of times and made it easy."

Fantasy Analysis

Gasol played in just two preseason games before sitting down with a hamstring injury that didn't appear to improve much with rest. He wondered aloud whether his hectic schedule over the past two years -- including a summer with an NBA title run and a tournament MVP award at the European championships in Poland -- had worn down his body. So much for that. Gasol was a first-round pick in most Fantasy leagues, so his return just made someone in your league much, much better. He won't lead the Lakers in scoring, but he should dominate as a sidekick to Kobe Bryant, averaging somewhere in the neighborhood of 18 points and nine rebounds with more assists than the average PF/C. Clearly, you want to get him active in all Fantasy leagues.
