Marc Gasol scored 23 points with 11 boards and six blocks during Monday's 103-97 overtime win over the Thunder in 48 minutes.

They were down 17 points in the second quarter and made a quick comeback to close the first half and start the second half. The Grizzlies took a commanding lead thanks to their 44 points in the paint and 25-of-29 shooting from the charity stripe. Gasol hit several clutch mid-range jumpers in this game and he's making a case as the best big man left in the playoffs. Zach Randolph wasn't too shabby either, scoring 23 points with 12 boards and three assists in 40 minutes.

Marc Gasol led Memphis with 20 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Saturday's 87-81 win vs. the visiting Thunder.

Gasol's 18.5 points per game in the playoffs rank him second among centers, trailing only Brook Lopez (22.3), with Roy Hibbert (13.5) as the nearest competition among centers still in the playoffs.

The missed free throws were the story for Memphis with just 14-of-24 makes (58.3 percent) in this game. Quincy Pondexter (13 points, five boards, three assists and three 3-pointers) was fouled on a 3-point attempt with the Grizzlies down three, but he missed his first attempt. Memphis will look to rebound in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Marc Gasol has won the 2012/13 Defensive Player of the Year Award.

It was previously reported that Gasol would win the award, and now we have official confirmation. Gasol wins the award this year and should be in the conversation regularly in the future as well. LeBron James finished in second place, Serge Ibaka in third and Joakim Noah in fourth.

Marc Gasol will be named Defensive Player of the Year, according to multiple reports.

It's well-deserved for Gasol and a win for those who are a fan of analytics. Gasol's defensive statistics aren't eye-popping by any means, but his presence in the paint and the way he's able to defend can't be understated. He is the Grizzlies' most important player and it's nice to see the big man get recognition in the form of the award.

The Grizzlies lost Saturday's game despite Marc Gasol racking up team-highs of 18 points and seven assists, while grabbing a season-high 15 rebounds.

Tony Allen (seven points) was the only starter in single-digits, but the Grizzlies' bench was thoroughly outplayed by the Clippers in the second half. The result was a four-point loss which makes it very likely that Memphis will finish as the No. 5 seed.

Marc Gasol filled the stat sheet in Friday's win over the Rockets with 15 points, 12 boards, five assists, three steals and three blocks in 36 minutes.

He's done just about everything his owners could have expected with big lines and some of the strongest percentages this side of Kevin Durant. Gasol is holding second-round value and his durability makes him an elite fantasy option.

Marc Gasol played well for the second game in a row in a win with 21 points, eight boards, six assists and three blocks in 35 minutes against the Wolves.

He's coming off a 21-point outing in Friday's win over Houston and the Grizzlies are obviously a lot better with Gasol in the lineup. He gets tons of credit for coming back so quickly from an abdominal tear and fantasy owners won't forget it when the time comes to draft him next season.

Marc Gasol scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting with five rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes on Friday against the Rockets.

Gasol's abdomen injury has gone from a big deal to potentially a big nothing after Friday's big night. And that's big.

Marc Gasol (abdomen) said he "felt like" he could play on Wednesday, and added "if I can play, I'll play."

Gasol went from out indefinitely to back on the floor on Wednesday, a move that nobody expected. Considering he played 36 minutes and didn't aggravate anything, we expect him to remain in the lineup moving forward. That said, it's always possible his injury gives him an unexpected issue, so owners need to stay on top of his status on a daily basis.

Marc Gasol returned from an abdominal tear on Wednesday, scoring 13 points with five boards, three assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes.

He didn't look like his old self at Madison Square Garden, but the 36 minutes is just another indication of how tough the former All-Star is. Gasol missed only two games in his last three seasons before missing Saturday and Monday's action and it's impressive that he's back after being ruled out "indefinitely" on Saturday. While there's a decent chance he'll play in this weekend's back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, it's not a guarantee. Check back for updates.

Marc Gasol will make a surprise return to the lineup Wednesday night despite aggravating an abdominal tear.

Wow. Consider us shocked. The injury didn't require surgery but was still expected to keep Gasol out until around the playoffs. It's unclear how effective he will be considering he said he was at 60 to 65 percent before aggravating the injury. His stunning return will push Darrell Arthur and Ed Davis back to sharing minutes off the bench.
