Grizzlies' John Konchar: Grabs seven boards in win
Rotowire
Konchar produced three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Dallas.
Memphis outrebounded Dallas by 13 Monday, and Konchar did his part to contribute by grabbing seven boards in just 18 minutes. He didn't do much else, but this was still one of his better games in recent memory. Konchar hasn't posted double-digit scoring in a game since Jan. 1, and he's averaging just 1.2 points over 16.2 minutes across his past six contests.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Modest production Thursday
Rotowire
Konchar logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 victory over the Warriors.
Konchar continues to play meaningful minutes, logging at least 20 minutes for the third straight game. While he was able to impact the game from a reality standpoint, his tangible production continues to fade in comparison. For now, a consistent role appears to be his, making him a player to consider in deeper formats.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Loses minutes to Kennard
Rotowire
Konchar finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in five minutes in Sunday's 119-109 loss to the Celtics.
Konchar kept his spot in the Grizzlies' rotation, but he saw a steep reduction in playing time from the 27 minutes he played two days earlier while head coach Taylor Jenkins deployed trade-deadline pickup Luke Kennard (22 minutes) as the team's top wing off the bench. The split in playing time between Kennard and Konchar may not be quite as extreme in the games to come, but Konchar's already modest role still looks as though will shrink in the wake of the trade deadline.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Goes unnoticed in loss
Rotowire
Konchar notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over six minutes during Sunday's 112-110 loss to Phoenix.
Konchar barely saw the floor in the loss, continuing a trend that has seen him play fewer than 16 minutes in six straight games. While he has had some nice moments this season, he is simply too hard to trust, especially when the team is relatively healthy, as they are now.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Ruled out Saturday
Rotowire
Konchar will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness.
Konchar will be sidelined for just the third time this season with an illness. Dillon Brooks (ankle) was also tabbed questionable for the contest, meaning David Roddy and Ziaire Williams could earn more playing time Saturday. However, Konchar has averaged just 14.3 minutes in his last three contests, so the additional workloads for his teammates will be limited. Konchar's next chance to take the floor will come Monday against Phoenix.

Konchar continues to receive the nod when Desmond Bane (toe) gets the night off, which is the case again Thursday for injury management purposes. Konchar is averaging 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 27.9 minutes across 21 games as a starter, so there's some additional upside to his fantasy outlook Thursday.

Konchar will shift back to the bench with Desmond Bane back in action following a lengthy absence due to a toe injury.
