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

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Delivers triple-double in win
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 Memphis 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.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Dishes out 13 assists
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: Another double-digit assist effort
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.
