Impact The Warriors played without a slew of regulars Monday, and Memphis built a 26-point lead at halftime. As a result, no Grizzlies player exceeded Bane's 27 minutes, and the shooting guard finished as the team's leading scorer with 22 points. Bane has scored 20-plus points in 10 of 13 games during March and is averaging 21.5 points, 4.7 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.8 three-pointers and 1.3 steals during the month. He is shooting a standout 51.5 percent from beyond the arc over that stretch.

Leads Grizzlies sans Morant Bane logged 30 points (12-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 133-103 win over Indiana.

Impact Memphis took the court without leading scorer Ja Morant (knee), but Bane filled in admirably on offense to help lead the team to a blowout victory. The second-year guard paced the Grizzlies in scoring and finished with his first 30-point performance since Feb. 16. Bane has scored at least 20 points in five of his past six contests and has knocked down at least three three-pointers in every game during that span. His role on offense should increase down the stretch with Morant expected to miss most or all of the remainder of the regular season.
