John Konchar - Pulls down 12 rebounds Konchar amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over Phoenix.
Impact Konchar recorded double-digit rebounds for the second time this season after grabbing 15 boards Sunday against the Thunder. Konchar finds himself on the streaming radar with the Grizzlies dealing with several key injuries in the frontcourt. Over his past two outings, Konchar posted averages of 5.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 2.0 steals.

Scotty Pippen Jr. - Held to two points Pippen posted two points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 victory over the Suns.
Impact Ja Morant is week-to-week with a Grade 1 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, and Pippen is likely to continue starting in the meantime. His production over his past two starts has left a lot to be desired, however, as he averaged just 6.0 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 1.5 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers.

Mason Plumlee - Nearly double-doubles Plumlee finished with 12 points (6-6 FG), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact This was one of Plumlee's best performances of the season as he recorded his third game of the campaign with at least three blocks. Jusuf Nurkic will miss one more game with his suspension, making Plumlee an attractive streaming option against the Pacers on Saturday.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Racks up 38 points Jackson racked up 38 points (12-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 10-17 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over Phoenix.
Impact Jackson finished one point shy of his season-best mark of 39 points. He had 19 points in the first quarter alone and the Suns had no answer for him. Jackson is having quite the season and is on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 22.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.
