Mike Conley's absence led to some exciting developments on Tuesday night. Rob Dillingham, with a mere 2% rostered in Yahoo leagues, stepped up and logged 24 minutes, contributing 12 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and two triples off the bench. Just one game prior, he scored a career-high 14 points, showing his potential. Although he hasn't carved out a consistent role on a playoff-bound team, his recent performances have certainly boosted his case.

Rob Dillingham's Impact

Dillingham's performance on Tuesday was a game-changer. He showed great versatility, not only in scoring but also in facilitating plays. His ability to contribute in multiple aspects of the game makes him a valuable asset off the bench. With Conley out, he has seized the opportunity and proven that he belongs in the team's rotation.In his previous game, scoring that career-high 14 points was a significant milestone. It demonstrated his growth and confidence on the court. Now, with consecutive solid performances, he is likely to continue making an impact.

Brice Sensabaugh's Potential Start

Sensabaugh has been on a roll lately. Across his last two games, he is averaging 17 points and four 3-pointers. On Tuesday, he was already having a good game and seemed to be a part of the team's rotation. However, an unfortunate incident occurred when Lauri Markkanen bumped knees with Victor Wembanyama and exited with a contusion. If Markkanen remains sidelined on Wednesday, Sensabaugh could get his first start of the season. This would be a great opportunity for him to showcase his skills and potentially solidify his place in the starting lineup.

Ayo Dosunmu's Steady Minutes

With Patrick Williams sidelined, Dosunmu has stepped into the starting lineup. Although his performances haven't been outstanding, he has been getting consistent minutes. His 12 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and one triple on Tuesday were decent. In the previous two games, he had a 20/3/8/2 line with two 3-pointers. Despite a quieter performance in between, the fact that he is getting consistent minutes gives him value.

Alexandre Sarr's Growing Confidence

The rookie Alexandre Sarr had arguably the best game of his young career on Tuesday with a 20/7/3/1/1 line and four 3-pointers. He has been getting consistent minutes, and although his field goal percentage has been a concern, his recent shooting performance over the last two games is a positive sign. If he can continue this trend, he could become a more reliable contributor.

Bub Carrington's Return to Form

Carrington's demotion to the bench initially led to some disappointment, and his first two games in a reserve role didn't go well. But on Tuesday, he was effective and posted a 10/3/4/2 line with two 3-pointers. His upside is still there, and as a rookie, he will eventually make a return to the starting lineup. His performance on Tuesday shows that he is capable of bouncing back and making an impact.

Duop Reath's Opportunity

Donovan Clingan's knee injury has led to a potential opportunity for Duop Reath. He is set to miss at least two weeks, and Robert Williams is in the league's concussion protocol. With Deandre Ayton also questionable to play on Wednesday, Reath could get the starting nod for the first time this season. He had some good stretches last season and could have a chance to replicate that in the coming weeks.

Scotty Pippen Jr.'s Streaming Potential

Ja Morant's absence due to an Achilles injury means that Pippen Jr. should be streamed everywhere. It is clear that Morant is not 100% yet, and they are managing his health. This likely won't be Pippen Jr.'s final start of the year, as he has shown potential and could continue to contribute.

Royce O'Neale's Starting Role

There is a decent chance that Kevin Durant and/or Bradley Beal sit out the second night of the back-to-back due to calf injuries. In such a scenario, Royce O'Neale should return to the starting unit and provide solid value. His experience and skills make him a reliable option in such situations.

Kobe Bufkin's Backup Chance

Trae Young's Achilles injury has made him questionable to play on Wednesday. The Hawks may be using this as a precaution after being fined for having Young miss an NBA Cup game. If Young doesn't play, Bufkin should get the start. He is worth keeping an eye on as he could have a chance to shine in this role.
