ANALYSIS: It was rather evident that Taurean Prince would have a very difficult path to playing time with a Brooklyn Nets squad featuring Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (when he chooses to play), and through the first twelve games of the season, his contributions were at their lowest level since his rookie year in Atlanta, posting just 8.1 points and 2.8 rebounds over 18.2 minutes per game. Then, as you might ve heard, James Harden was traded to Brooklyn in a four-team deal between the Nets, Cavaliers, Rockets, and Pacers. Caris Levert was sent to Indiana, Rodions Kurucs to Houston, and Jarrett Allen and Prince headed to Cleveland.

ANALYSIS: Through injuries and absences, the Memphis Grizzlies have had to call several players numbers that otherwise wouldn t have received an early opportunity. As a result, Xavier Tillman, a 2020 early second-round draft pick who ended up in Memphis via trade by Sacramento, has been playing close to 20 minutes per game. In that time, he has averaged 8.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game, and just put up 15 points and four rebounds against the Sixers through 28 minutes. Tillman has been shooting an ugly clip from distance, but thankfully hasn t been taking many threes, and has negated that figure with a 63.4% success rate from two-point territory.
