Desmond Bane scores 17 points in win over the Jazz

Fantasy Impact:

Bane scored 17.0 points in the Grizzlies' win over the Jazz, making this his second consecutive double-digit scoring performance. He put together a complete game that nearly saw him triple-doubled, falling short three rebounds and one assist of accomplishing the feat. Derrick Rose gaining some traction in the rotation could make Bane's responsibility for driving the lion's share of the team's production less arduous. The promotion of Rose could lend itself to enhancing Bane's play style and multi-categorical contribution, as he could be leveraged more for his utility within the evolving game script than being forced, out of circumstance, to play a singular role of playmaking facilitator. He will look to continue his strong play against a competitive Mavericks team this Friday. Bane is a must-start in all season-long leagues and is priced competitively in daily formats, making him a viable option given his upside. He has a usage rate of 28.3 percent, a plus-minus -4.7, and is averaging 34.2 minutes, 23.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game while shooting 44.0 percent from the floor and 35.3 percent from beyond the arc.
