John Konchar started on Thursday and finished with four points (2-of-6 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, five steals and two blocks against the Pelicans.

Konchar got the starting nod with Lauri Markkanen (hip) set to miss at least two weeks. He continued to not provide much production, outside of steals. He is averaging 3.8 steals over his last four games and should continue to provide plenty of swipes. However, managers that need more than that should be cautious about rostering him, even if he’s starting.
