Shelvin Mack steps into starting-five, records nine assists

Shelvin Mack was able to get the start for the Grizzlies, due to Mike Conley's injury. Mack did not hesitate to shine, as he finished 8-of-15 shooting - which was good for 19 points - dished out nine assists, recorded two steals and grabbed one rebound. The guard was on the floor for 36 minutes against the Hornets, as well.
Fantasy Impact:
Mack was an absolute steal on DFS platforms on Friday. The guard only cost $3500 in salary and finished with 37.7-FanDuel points. Unless Mike Conley misses extended time, Mack should not be added to season-long rosters. It will be interesting to see what will come of Mack in the coming days; the starter, Conley, is actively being shopped around the NBA with reports linking him to Utah. If Conley is traded, Mack becomes a great late-season addition for season-long leagues. Mack would obviously become a regular DFS option as well.
