• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Back to bench role Friday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nets. Ja Morant is back and starting after a one-game absence, so Pippen will return to his regular second-unit role in this contest. Pippen is averaging 8.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game when coming off the bench this season.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Fills in with double-double

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen accumulated 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 win over the Wizards. Pippen showed Memphis' depth on a night where both teams were depleted with injuries. Thanks to Pippen, the Grizzlies have gone 7-4 without Ja Morant's (back) services, as the Vanderbilt product has performed admirably during the superstar's absences. Despite his success as a fill-in, Pippen's numbers don't merit fantasy consideration, barring a significant absence from Morant.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Sees 11 minutes

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen ended Sunday's 136-121 win over Indiana with four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes. Pippen's minutes continue to trend in the wrong direction with the Grizzlies getting healthier. He's seen 14 or fewer minutes in three of the past four games, so he'll be a hard player to trust in fantasy formats while Ja Morant is upright. Plus, it doesn't help that the Grizzlies use such a large rotation.

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen isn't starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. As anticipated, Pippen will return to his usual bench role following the return of Ja Morant from a hip injury. Pippen had a solid run with the first unit, averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals in eight starts.

• Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Explodes for season-high 30 points

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Pippen closed Saturday's 142-131 win over the Bulls with 30 points (13-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and 10 assists across 31 minutes. Pippen hadn't been putting up good scoring numbers of late, as he had failed to surpass the 15-point mark in four of his previous five contests. However, Pippen bounced back admirably and notched his best scoring mark of the campaign -- and by a wide margin. Pippen has been playing well as the starting point guard in place of Ja Morant (hip), and even though Pippen's numbers will likely experience a regression once Morant is ready to return, Pippen seems to have earned a steady role in the rotation going forward.
