The Los Angeles Clippers are well on their way to the 2019 NBA playoffs. After their home win against the Indiana Pacers they only need five more victories to seal their ticket. They’re riding a three-game winning streak and have secured the “W” in the last eight NBA 2018-19 Regular Season matches Danilo Gallinari has played.
The 30-year-old Italian forward has scored at least twenty points in his last seven appearances and hasn’t fallen under 18 points since mid-February. On Tuesday he put up 24 points with 8/17 from the field including 4/9 from three-point range. He also tallied three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes.
It’s the first time during his NBA career that he surpassed the 20-point mark in seven consecutive matches. His game-high 24 points versus the Indiana Pacers prevented the visitors from securing a playoffs spot and improved his season average to his personal-high 19.5 points per contest.
