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 only last until Ja Morant (hip) is cleared to return, but there's no question 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.

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 only last until Ja Morant (hip) is cleared to return, but there's no question 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.
Pippen ended with 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 win over the Trail Blazers. Pippen couldn't repeat the triple-double he recorded in the win over the Wizards on Nov. 8, but he notched his best scoring output of the campaign in this one. Pippen has scored in double digits in six straight appearances and is poised to remain as the Grizzlies' starting point guard until Ja Morant (hip) is ready to return.
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 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 alternative across all formats, particularly in category-based leagues.
Pippen will start at point guard in Friday's game versus the Wizards. With Ja Morant (hip) sidelined, Pippen will get the keys to the car as the Grizzlies' point guard. It marks his first start of the season. The guard has averaged 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists across 25.8 minutes in nine games off the bench.
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.
Pippen finished Thursday's 122-99 win over the Bucks with 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes. With Marcus Smart (ankle), John Konchar (quadriceps) and Luke Kennard (foot) all out, Pippen continued to receive extended playing time during Wednesday's win. Pippen has flourished to start the season, averaging 10.8 points, 6.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.5 minutes across six appearances. If the Grizzlies continue to suffer from multiple injuries in the backcourt, the 24-year-old guard will garner serious fantasy interest.
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 enough last season and has continued enough this season to seemingly earn coach Taylor Jeninks' confidence.
Pippen closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to Houston. Pippen led the bench in scoring Friday and was one of four Grizzlies players to score in double digits. Pippen averaged 26.4 minutes per game over the final 12 regular-season contests of the 2023-24 campaign, and the 23-year-old guard should have opportunities to produce in a reserve role this year behind Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart.
Pippen will come off the bench in the Grizzlies' preseason finale versus the Heat. Pippen started at point guard in the Grizzlies' previous two exhibition games. However, Ja Morant is good to go and will get the start in Memphis' final game of the preseason. Pippen projects to provide depth minutes in the team's backcourt this season.
