NBA Daily Notes: The Raptors keep winning; Top fantasy picks for January 12th

SF 2 - Danilo Gallinari (Los Angeles Clippers):

Los Angeles Clippers are a surprise in the Western Conference

Preview:

The Los Angeles Clippers have been a fantastic team this season, something nobody expected from them. They are currently in the 5th spot in a really tough Western Conference. They have a 24-17 record and have won 6 of their last 10 games.

Past 3 game results:

1. 10/1/2019 - L - Denver Nuggets, 100-121
2. 8/1/2019 - W - Charlotte Hornets, 128-109
3. 6/1/2019 - W - Orlando Magic, 106-96

Player performances and review:

Gallinari has been playing really well this season, finally avoiding injuries and showing the Clippers what a great asset he is on the court. Gallinari has been averaging more than a healthy 19 points per game, along with 6 rebounds and more than 2 assists a game. He is not much help on the defensive end and is managing a combined steal + block per game.

In the loss to the current leaders Denver Nuggets, Gallinari scored a nice 18 points, along with 3 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal. The Clippers will be hoping he plays better tomorrow against the Detroit Pistons and he will be hoping to get a win over his old team.

Alternate pick: Josh Richardson (Miami Heat)
