Gallinari tallied a season-high 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes off the bench Monday in the Hawks' 121-110 win over the Timberwolves.
Gallinari is off to a hot start to December, averaging 16.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 treys in 27.0 minutes per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field. His improved production and increased minutes has coincided with the absences of Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and Cam Reddish (wrist), but the Hawks could get the latter back for their next game Friday against the Nets. If that's the case, Gallinari's minutes could rest in the 20-to-25 range rather than the upper 20s moving forward, but that could be enough to make him a worthy roster option for fantasy managers in 12-team leagues seeking help in scoring, three-pointers and free-throw percentage.
