Grizzlies' John Konchar: Serviceable effort Friday
Rotowire
Konchar totaled five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game win over Dallas.
Konchar continues to serve as an unpredictable piece for the Grizzlies, playing at least 24 minutes for the first time since December 31. Despite being in the rotation for the most part, Konchar's playing time typically fluctuates wildly. Memphis will now advance to play Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs. While Konchar will almost undoubtedly make an appearance, it's hard to envisage him playing a significant role.

Grizzlies' John Konchar: Strong line in limited run
Rotowire
Konchar accumulated eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 17 minutes during Monday's 132-122 loss to Sacramento.
The Grizzlies were shorthanded Monday, as Ja Morant (hamstring), Santi Aldama (calf) and Scotty Pippen (wrist) were all unable to go. Plus, GG Jackson was assigned to the G League on Monday. Konchar was limited to single-digit minutes in his previous three games, so fantasy managers can just keep an eye on him for now in case the Grizzlies continue to have bad luck with injuries.

Rotowire
Konchar (knee) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Konchar was initially termed questionable due to a sore right knee, but he's now trending toward missing Wednesday's matchup.

Rotowire
Konchar ended Sunday's 130-106 loss to the Thunder with four points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes.
Konchar made his first start of the season Sunday and impacted the glass by grabbing 15 rebounds. He didn't do much as a scorer, but fantasy managers in category-based leagues should be happy with his all-around contributions. The Grizzlies are a bit thin in terms of frontcourt depth, so don't rule out the possibility of Konchar seeing an uptick in minutes in the upcoming games.
