Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Thrives in spot start
Pippen finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 win over Atlanta.Pippen shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Ja Morant who was sidelined due to a back injury. The promotion afforded Pippen significant playing time, during which he delivered his best game in almost a month. Prior to Saturday, Pippen had exceeded 20 minutes only once in the past nine games. If Morant is forced to miss more time, Pippen should continue to see an uptick in minutes and quite possibly, production.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Fills in with double-double
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 Memphis 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
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 Memphis 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.

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