Impresses off bench again Murphy recorded 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding three rebounds, two assists and a steal across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 98-75 loss against Gonzaga.
Impact Murphy didn't start against the Bulldogs, but that stopped him from being one of the team's key contributors despite the loss. He has been one of Virginia's most productive players over the last few games, and he has scored exactly 15 points in back-to-back games. He is averaging 12.2 points per game across his first six appearances (just one start) of 2020-21.

Scores team-high 19 points Clark registered 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes in Saturday's 98-75 loss against Gonzaga.
Impact Clark was one of three Virginia players that scored 10 or more points, and he paced the team in both points and assists so his impact on the offensive end of the floor was clear. Clark has been inconsistent to start the season but is trending in the right direction of late, scoring 14 or more points in two of his last three games. He is averaging 9.2 points per game over six appearances (four starts) in 2020-21. What's most important for fantasy purposes, however, is that the senior has returned to the starting five for consecutive games after coming off the bench in the first two games of December.

Exits starting unit Murphy is not included in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against Gonzaga,
Impact Murphy received his first start this season this past Tuesday against William & Mary and led the team in scoring with 15 points. Despite the solid performance, Murphy will head back to the bench with head coach Tony Bennett opting to go with Reece Beekman in the starting lineup instead. Murphy has still averaged 22 minutes per game and will likely be the first one off the bench as the Cavaliers try to pull off a massive upset over top-ranked Gonzaga.
DECEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Back in starting five Beekman is starting Saturday's game against Gonzaga.
Impact Beekman came off the bench in Virginia's last game, but he'll return to the starting five Saturday for the third time in the past four contests. He's started two of the first five matchups of the season, averaging 5.2 points and 2.6 rebounds over 22.8 minutes per game. Trey Murphy will come off the bench against the Bulldogs on Saturday.

Puts up team-high 15 points Murphy registered 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 76-40 win over William & Mary.
Impact Murphy has been a bit inconsistent with his scoring figures, but he has managed to reach the 10-point mark in three of his first five games of the current campaign. He doesn't do much aside from scoring, though, and he will look to produce another strong performance Saturday against Gonzaga.

Strong output in limited minutes Shedrick registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and a block in 16 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 76-40 win over William & Mary.
Impact Shedrick came just three boards shy of what would've been his first double-double of the year, a feat he's come close to accomplish twice this season. He's been limited to a bench role in 2020-21, but the fact that he has scored in double digits in two of the team's last three games bodes well for his chances of earning a bigger role sooner than later.
