• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Dishes out 13 assists

  2D 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.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Records season-high 16 points

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen finished Thursday's 122-99 win over the Bucks with 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes. With Marcus Smart (ankle), John Konchar (quadriceps) and Luke Kennard (foot) all out, Pippen continued to receive extended playing time during Wednesday's win. Pippen has flourished to start the season, averaging 10.8 points, 6.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.5 minutes across six appearances. If the Grizzlies continue to suffer from multiple injuries in the backcourt, the 24-year-old guard will garner serious fantasy interest.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Another double-digit assist effort

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen finished with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to Chicago. Starting point guard Ja Morant (thigh) was out for Monday's loss. Though Pippen didn't get the start, he got starter's minutes and functionally ran the team's offense. The performance marked Pippen's second consecutive with double-digit assists after handing out 12 dimes in 23 minutes during the home-opener win against the Magic. Pippen was not someone who was typically drafted in fantasy, but he's proving to be a strong source of production off Memphis' bench. The team is dealing with significant injuries to reserve players, but Pippen proved himself last season and has continued to perform well enough this season to seemingly earn coach Taylor Jenkins' confidence.

  Pippen closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to Houston. Pippen led the bench in scoring Friday and was one of four Grizzlies players to score in double digits. Pippen averaged 26.4 minutes per game over the final 12 regular-season contests of the 2023-24 campaign, and the 23-year-old guard should have opportunities to produce in a reserve role this year behind Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart.
