Tillman provided eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes during Monday's 102-99 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman continues to see regular minutes off the bench for the Grizzlies but is yet to make the most of his opportunity. Despite the odd flash, he is really only a deeper league commodity, outside of potential streaming value on nights when the team is well down on troops.

Tillman totaled 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes in a 106-97 win against Denver on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The former Michigan State Spartan made the most of his time on the court, scoring in double figures for the first time this season and chipping in five boards. Though Tillman isn't playing enough minutes to warrant much interest in fantasy, he has flashed some potential with per-36-minute averages of 11.1 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.9 steals.

Tillman did not play due to a DNP-Coach's Decision during Wednesday's season-opening victory over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman was a meaningful part of the Grizzlies' rotation last season, with the rookie averaging 6.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.4 minutes. However, coach Taylor Jenkins kept the frontcourt rotation tight with Jaren Jackson, Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke and Kyle Anderson.

Tillman finished Sunday's win over the Blazers with two points (1-1 FG), four rebounds and one block in 18 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman had a productive three-game run with Jonas Valanciunas (concussion) out of the lineup, but, as expected, his role decreased with the big man making his return Sunday afternoon. As long as Valanciunas is healthy, Tillman is only a deeper-leagues consideration when it comes to fantasy.

Tillman will come off the bench for Sunday's game against Portland, Rob Fischer of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the return of Jonas Valanciunas (concussion), Tillman will head back to the bench after three-consecutive starts. It was fun while it lasted for the 22-year-old in the starting lineup, as he averaged 12.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game over the last three outings.
