Max Mackinnon - Swishes season-high 27 points Mackinnon amassed 27 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 84-73 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact Mackinnon had his fourth 20-point game of his senior season. He has knocked down 13 3-pointers in his last four games and has averaged 19.3 points over that span. He has taken on a larger role with Dedan Thomas out and has nine assists in his last three games. The Tigers will look to win their first conference game on Wednesday against Kentucky.

Marquel Sutton - Scores 13, grabs six boards Sutton racked up 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 84-73 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact The 6-8 Sutton has been very quiet in the Tigers' three-game losing streak. In the three conference losses, the forward has averaged 7.3 points on 30.0 percent from the field and 5.3 rebounds. Saturday's performance was a tick up, but it remains to be seen if the Omaha transfer can compete against SEC teams. He will get another chance on Wednesday against Kentucky.

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Sitting out Saturday Thomas (foot) will not play Saturday versus Vanderbilt, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Thomas was listed as doubtful on the initial availability report released Friday, so his absence Saturday isn't a huge surprise. Jalen Reece figures to continue drawing starts in his absence, though Reece hasn't performed particularly well in the role thus far.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Dedan Thomas Jr. - Doubtful to face Vandy Thomas (foot) is doubtful for Saturday's game at Vanderbilt.

Impact Thomas didn't play Tuesday against South Carolina and is doubtful to return to the hardwood in this one. Not having him around would be a huge blow for LSU, as Thomas is averaging career-high marks in points (16.2), assists (7.0) and rebounds (2.8) per game. If Thomas is out, look for Jalen Reece to start at point guard Saturday.
