Marc Gasol Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol isn't guaranteed to remain with the team moving ahead. The veteran is expected to earn $2.7 million during the final year of his current deal. However, with Dwight Howard back in town and Anthony Davis anticipated to spend some time in the middle this season, L.A. may be looking to fill a void elsewhere by freeing up a roster spot. Nonetheless, the 36-year-old didn't contribute much during the 2020-21 campaign, averaging a career-low 5.0 points and 4.1 rebounds throughout 52 games. Regardless of where he ends up, it's likely he won't draw much attention from fantasy managers anyway.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol will return for the 2021-22 campaign. Although the 36-year-old is a ways away from his glory days in Memphis, the veteran has a higher ceiling now than in previous seasons, primarily after the departures of Montrezl Harrell and Andre Drummond. Gasol averaged only 5.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks throughout 52 games last season. However, managers should target him in the later rounds of drafts in deeper fantasy formats due to his above-average upside.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been diagnosed with a fractured finger on his left hand. However, Gasol believes it won't be much of an issue because it is on his left hand, which he doesn't use as much. Andre Drummond (toe) is listed as day-to-day, so Gasol could have some streaming appeal, assuming he plays Saturday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (calf), guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) and center Marc Gasol (hamstring) will all play Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. There was some concern these three would miss Tuesday in the second half of a back-to-back, but all three are available to play. Kuzma is the only fantasy relevant player here unless the Lakers were to suffer another injury blow to one of their starters.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hamstring) will play and come off the bench for Monday's contest against the Knicks. Injuries have hampered Gasol's second half, but he enters play Monday on the heels of back-to-back double-digit scoring performances for the first time all year. Deep season-long managers can slot Gasol back into lineups where he's needed, but DFS managers may want to stay clear due to the Knicks' propensity for smothering the point production of opposing centers.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (calf), guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) and center Marc Gasol (hamstring) are questionable Monday against the New York Knicks. All three missed Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets which led to Talen Horton-Tucker to get a spot start and other starters to fill the void. Horton-Tucker has been playing well and should be worth a look if Kuzma, Matthews and Gasol are out again on Monday. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is another name to watch for as well.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Brooklyn. The veteran is currently dealing with tightness in his left hamstring, but after receiving a DNP-CD on Thursday against the Heat, a potential absence won't mean much for those who still have him on their fantasy roster for some reason. If he is available, he likely won't play much, if at all, leaving Andre Drummond and Montrezl Harrell to continue to split time underneath the rim.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (conditioning) will not play Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Gasol is still recovering from COVID-19 and is "wiped out". Head coach Frank Vogel noted Gasol could be out for a few games as he ramps up his conditioning. With Gasol still out, Damian Jones has been starting, but the team is not signing him for the rest of the season after his second 10-day contract expires. Markieff Morris and Montrezl Harrell should continue to man the post in Gasol's absence.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (health and safety protocols) is out against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. Gasol has not played since before the All-Star break, but should be somewhat near a return as players have been typically out for about two weeks on average due to the league's protocols. In Gasol's absence, Damian Jones has been starting, but Markieff Morris and Montrezl Harrell have been the main beneficiaries. Morris and Harrell will be the players to target in DFS on Thursday's slate.

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasolwon't play on Friday against Indiana. The veteran has been in quarantine since the beginning of the month while adhering to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, meaning that Montrezl Harrell should continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint on Friday against the Pacers.
