Makes impact on both ends Monday
Mashack tallied 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 22 minutes Monday in the Grizzlies' 114-113 loss to the Warriors.
Analysis
With the Grizzlies being hit by injuries and the availability of multiple players in flux in recent days after Memphis overhauled its roster ahead of last week's trade deadline, Mashack has been able to get a foothold in the rotation of late. Listed at just 6-foot-3 and 197 pounds, Mashack's 6-foot-9 wingspan has allowed him to play on the wing, where he's quickly established a reputation as a disruptive defender. While playing at least 20 minutes in each of the past four games, Mashack has averaged an impressive 3.5 steals per contest. The rookie second-round pick typically isn't as involved on the offensive end, but thanks to some red-hot shooting Monday, he was able to establish a new career-high mark in scoring. Mashack's recent production puts him on the radar as a streaming option for steals, though he could see his minutes get cut significantly if Memphis gets at least one or two of Cedric Coward -- who left Monday's game early with a knee injury -- Santi Aldama (knee) or Walter Clayton (knee) back in action for Wednesday's tilt with the Nuggets.

Returns to bench role
Mashack will be deployed off the bench Monday night against Golden State, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Analysis
Mashack drew his first start of the season Saturday while the Grizzlies were severely shorthanded, but he'll bump back to a bench role Monday. The Tennessee product hasn't had much involvement when Memphis is healthy, as he's averaging 2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 9.8 minutes per game across 10 outings this season.

Starting Saturday
Mashack will start against Portland on Saturday.
Analysis
With the Grizzlies extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, the two-way player will make his first career NBA start. Mashack has logged 20-plus minutes in back-to-back games, averaging 3.5 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.5 rebounds in 21.5 minutes per tilt during that span.

Rare appearance Wednesday
Mashack closed Wednesday's 129-125 win over the Kings with two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 23 minutes.
Analysis
Mashack appeared for the first time in the past 12 games, logging a career-high 23 minutes in the process. Memphis appears to be headed for a rebuild, potentially opening up playing time for a multitude of young pieces. While we aren't running to add Maskack, he is someone to keep an eye on moving forward.
