Brandon Clarke posted 27 efficient points (12-14 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two steals, an assists, and a block over 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Trail Blazers.
Fantasy Impact:
Clarke is buried on the depth chart behind Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jonas Valanciunas but continues to prove his worth throughout his unexpectedly great rookie season. The Gonzaga forward is having a solid start to February by averaging 13.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 0.6 steals over five games. The craziest part about that statline is that he's doing it in only 22.6 minutes. It's rare to campaign for a fantasy player with this little playing time, but Clarke has proven night after night that he will take full advantage of any opportunity he receives. Clarke, born in Canada, will suit up for Team World in this weekend's Rising Stars game and face off against Team USA, led by fellow Grizzlies Ja Morant and Jackson Jr.
