• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Scores 15 points in loss to LAL

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen totaled 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers. Pippen's presence in the starting lineup will likely last only until Ja Morant (hip) is cleared to return, but the 24-year-old is doing everything he can to show he belongs in the league. Pippen is averaging 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in his three starts this season. Morant is considered week-to-week and his return date is uncertain, so Pippen should remain in the starting unit for Friday's game against the Warriors.

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen ended with 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 win over the Trail Blazers. Pippen couldn't repeat the triple-double he recorded in the win over the Wizards on Nov. 8, but he notched his best scoring output of the campaign in this one. Pippen has scored in double digits in six straight appearances and is poised to remain as the Grizzlies' starting point guard until Ja Morant (hip) is ready to return.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Delivers triple-double in win

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen amassed 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over Washington. The Grizzlies are down several key pieces in the rotation, such as Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), but Pippen stepped up in this one and delivered one of the best games of his career. Pippen is expected to return to the bench once Morant is ready to return. Still, in the meantime and considering Morant doesn't have a clear timetable to get back on the hardwood, Pippen should be viewed as a solid streaming option across all formats, particularly in category-based leagues.

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen will start at point guard in Friday's game versus the Wizards. With Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, Pippen will get the keys to the car as the Grizzlies' point guard. It marks his first start of the season. The guard has averaged 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists across 25.8 minutes in nine games off the bench.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Dishes out 13 assists

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 victory over Philadelphia. Pippen secured his third double-double of the young season with the help of yet another sparkling performance as a passer. The Vandy product has consistently produced off the bench so far this year, averaging 11.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.1 minutes. His playing time may take a small hit once Marcus Smart (ankle) and Luke Kennard (foot) return to play, but it's tough to imagine Pippen not seeing close to 20 minutes a night even when the team gets healthy, at least while he's producing at his current level.
