Carries Memphis to upset win Bane notched 32 points (11-27 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 120-103 victory over Dallas. Impact Bane will return to the prominent role he had on offense when Ja Morant (shoulder) was suspended, and now that the star floor general will miss the rest of the season, it's safe to expect Bane to have more touches, a higher usage rate, and better numbers overall. Bane was producing at a strong rate when Morant wasn't around, but his numbers didn't drop significantly when he was available, either. Bane is averaging 26.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game since the start of December.
