Danilo Gallinari's minutes are expected to steadily increase as he settles into a regular role in Mike D'Antoni's rotation.

Gallinari's second game back from injury will be Monday, during the Martin Luther King Day matinee at Madison Square Garden against the Bulls and Derrick Rose, the number one pick in last year's draft.  Gallinari was selected sixth.

"He was our best shooter when he wasn't playing," D'Antoni said about Gallinari.  "The guy can really, really shoot it."

Gallinari scored six points on two three-pointers in 15 minutes of action against the Sixers on Saturday.
