Danilo Gallinari DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Italian veteran Danilo Gallinari is without a contract for next season but still hopes to earn a new NBA deal. "A return to Italy? Not yet," he said in an interview with Italian news outlet La Repubblica. "There is still time for (me in) the market, anything can happen at any time. Miami? It's not my time yet, there are other free agents and we'll decide later. It could be anywhere, as long as it's a competitive franchise." Gallinari, who turned 36 at the start of August, spent the 2023-24 campaign with three teams. Following stints in Washington and Detroit, he finished the season with the Milwaukee Bucks. It looks like Gallinari wants to land on another contender. However, he will have zero fantasy value if that's the case. Last season, Gallinari posted only 2.8 points and 1.1 rebounds across 9.1 minutes in Milwaukee.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pistons acquired Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala from the Wizards in exchange for Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers, and two second-round picks. The No. 6 overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft has suited up for the Knicks, Nuggets, Clippers, Thunder, and Hawks before becoming a Wizard. He's appeared in 754 regular season games, averaging 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and shooting 38.1% from deep. Still, Gallinari isn't nearly as productive as he used to be, and he's also battled various ailments over the years. There's a chance he'll draw streaming attention at some point moving ahead. However, the 35-year-old isn't worth adding in any fantasy format unless he gets consistent playing time, which doesn't appear likely.

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is having trouble with a lower back spasm. This season has been a comeback campaign for Gallinari after he missed the entire 2022-23 with a knee injury. He's averaged 14.8 minutes for the rebuilding Wizards, recording 7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. He's already been unavailable for two games, which has allowed Mike Muscala to log meaningful minutes. He's done well in the outings, but Muscala definitely isn't somebody fantasy managers should rush to grab.
