Jackson, who sprained his right ankle during Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, will miss a game for the first time this season. Santi Aldama is the likely replacement, but his fantasy ceiling will be raised even if he comes off the bench.

Jackson is listed as doubtful with a right ankle sprain. The 26-year-old power forward isn’t expected to play, leaving the Grizzlies potentially without one of their best players. Jackson was in the midst of a down stretch anyway as his season averages to start the year are down from last year across the board. Santi Aldama could move into the starting lineup if Jackson is out on Thursday.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Memphis since losing Ja Morant to a strained calf, and Williams was head coach Tuomas Iisalo’s pick to move into the starting lineup. Result aside, this was a good night for the former second-round pick, who finished two rebounds and one assist shy of a triple-double. Williams only committed one turnover in his 30 minutes, which is especially concerning. On the heels of this performance, he’s worth picking up in deep leagues.

With Ja Morant (calf) out for at least two weeks, Spencer is one of the Grizzlies who will be asked to pick up the slack. The second-year guard had a good night in San Antonio, shooting 60 percent from the field and dishing out three assists. Spencer’s 24 minutes were the second-most among the Grizzlies’ reserves, which bodes well for his deep-league streaming potential. While he isn’t a must-add, keep an eye on Spencer.

Jackson had a decent night scoring-wise, but the lack of defensive stats is concerning for a player who has been a mediocre rebounder. Counting Tuesday, he’s averaging 1.3 blocks per game, and this would be the third straight season in which JJJ has averaged fewer than two if that were to hold. Not only has his value in redraft leagues been disappointing so far, but dynasty managers can’t be thrilled with Jackson, either.

Coward struggled in the first half, scoring just three points. The rookie was far better after halftime, finishing with his third double-double. Coward has hit double figures in scoring in six straight games, and he’s still providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. He did not do much outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers on Tuesday, but the ability to change that is there with Ja Morant out for at least two weeks.

White didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, as he continues to struggle in that regard. However, the all-around production is why he remains such a valuable player for category league managers. White recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday and has been a top-15 player over the past week. And he’s shot 44.2 percent from the field, which aligns with his career number (44.1). The shots will fall at a higher clip eventually, and fantasy managers can still receive solid value from White as they wait for that to happen.

After a two-game stretch in which he totaled 10 points on 4-of-17 shooting, Pritchard has scored at least 20 in three straight. During this three-game run, the Celtics guard has averaged 25.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 6.0 three-pointers while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.9 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for top-20 value, so managers who may have panicked after that poor two-game stretch can calm down.

Brown led all scorers with 29 points and shot a respectable percentage, but the turnovers were an issue. He committed a season-high eight, one more than his tally in an October 24 loss to the Knicks. Brown is averaging a career-worst 3.5 turnovers per game through 15 games, which is why he’s barely hanging onto top-100 status in nine-cat formats. However, Brown has been more valuable by four rounds in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50, according to Basketball Monster.

As expected, Williams will start in place of Ja Morant, who is set to miss at least two weeks with a calf strain. Williams was really good as a starter two years ago for the Grizzlies but was injured for much of last season. His role this year hasn’t been large, but he should be worth streaming until Morant is back.

Prosper is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, with his absence resulting in more minutes for fellow reserve John Konchar. This news does not affect fantasy basketball, as O-Max has played 20+ minutes just once this season and Konchar has not done so since October 27.

Morant’s extended absence should open up new opportunities for Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer and Vince Williams, though Wells is the preferred add. Javon Small could get a boost off the bench once he’s back in action, but he’s not worth a look outside of deep leagues.

Brown capped his seventh 30-point outing in 14 games with a two-handed slam in the closing seconds, putting metaphorical cherry on a dominant all-around performance. The 29-year-old franchise cornerstone poured in 16 points before halftime and finished with 17 more after the break, hoisting a season-high 33 shots in the process. He also grabbed double-digit boards for the first time this year to record his first double-double of the season. The Celtics open a three-game week with a home-and-home set against the rebuilding Nets before facing the Magic next weekend.

White helped Boston build a commanding lead early on with 15 points and seven rebounds in the opening half as the Celtics shot 49 percent (25-of-51) and 9-of-20 (45 percent) from three-point range during that span. He drilled a key three-pointer with just over one minute remaining and hit a pair of free throws with 7.8 ticks left to help Boston hold off a late rally from Los Angeles. The 31-year-old point guard has performed at a third-round level for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 16 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks through 14 contests.

Pritchard knocked down eight of 13 three-point attempts, including four after halftime, to eclipse the 30-point mark for the first time this year. He calmly sank his first free throws of the evening with 1.6 seconds remaining to extend the lead to three and seal the victory. The 27-year-old guard has been inconsistent from deep this season, averaging 2.5 made threes per game after hitting 3.2 per game last year. He’s averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 0.8 steals through 14 contests.

Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring, but it was a tough night for him. He had his worst shooting percentage of the season, but he was able to get to the free throw line often and have success from there. Ja Morant (calf) exited early, and if he misses time, Jackson will only become more important to this offense. This was a new season-high for points, shot attempts and free throw attempts for Jackson.

Williams started in place of Ja Morant when he missed Wednesday’s game with an ankle injury, and he replaced Morant to start the second half on Saturday after the star point guard exited with a calf injury. Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Javon Small are all dealing with long-term injuries, so the only other point guard on the roster is Cam Spencer. If Morant remains out beyond this game, Williams will hold value as a streaming option.

Coward was initially listed as doubtful for this game, but he was able to play and make the first start of his career. It has been an excellent rookie year for him thus far, but his first start was underwhelming. He spent 24:32 on the court, which was actually the fewest minutes he has played since the third game of the season. The rotations in Memphis have been frustrating, but moving into the starting lineup is a good opportunity for Coward, who is available in 63 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

After missing the first 13 games of the season, Edey was available to make his season debut. He immediately slid into the starting lineup and logged 24 minutes. He was likely limited in his first game back, but Jock Landale was still able to play 19 minutes off the bench. Edey was really productive during his time on the floor despite an early exit from Ja Morant (calf). This was a great start to the season for Edey, who is currently rostered in just 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Memphis was finally healthy entering this game, but that didn’t last long. Morant’s early exit should lead to extra minutes for Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer. Hopefully this won’t be a long-term absence, but Williams would likely be worth streaming if it is; he started when Morant missed Wednesday’s game against Boston.

Small initially suffered a turf toe injury in his left foot in a November 8 G League game between the Memphis Hustle and Mexico City Capitanes and has not played since. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with starting point guard Ja Morant being healthy.

Williams replaced Ja Morant in the starting lineup on Wednesday and had an up-and-down performance in his 25 minutes. He did well on the glass and flashed some facilitating skills, but shot inefficiently from beyond the arc during the blowout loss.

Aldama was one of the most productive Grizzlies against the Celtics on Wednesday. He finished second on the team in scoring, tied for the most rebounds and assists, and used active hands on the defensive end to collect three stocks. Inefficient shooting prevented Aldama from having an even more productive performance. Still, he finished with a solid line in the loss.

Jackson Jr. played just 23 minutes on Wednesday, thanks to the score being one-sided, in favor of the Celtics. He led the Grizzlies in scoring and led the team in field-goal attempts along the way.

White was one of two Celtics players to score 20 or more points on Wednesday. His total likely could’ve been greater if not for a lopsided victory limiting him to only 26 minutes of game action.

He’ll look to stay productive against the Clippers on Sunday.

A blowout win limited the former Finals MVP to just 25 minutes of game action on Wednesday. Still, he was productive in his time on the floor, scoring efficiently from both inside and outside the arc while tallying more rebounds and assists than his season averages entering Wednesday’s contest. He didn’t record any stocks for the second straight game, but still had a fine night overall. A more competitive game on Sunday against the Clippers could lead to a more typical scoring performance from Brown.

Pritchard bounced back from a couple of inefficient five-point performances by tallying his second-highest scoring total of the season. The veteran guard matched his season-high in threes during his 30 minutes of game action and came up just one assist shy of his third double-double this season. Pritchard had been playing very well during November up until the two previous games. With a strong showing against Memphis, he seems to be back on track.

Caldwell-Pope’s night has ended prematurely due to a sore right elbow. He played 19 minutes, going scoreless (0-of-3 FGs) with three rebounds, three assists and one steal.

He’ll be an even more popular fantasy add if Caldwell-Pope misses time.

Brown struggled to find his shot in the early stages of this one, going 1-of-7 from the field in the first half, but managed to get to the charity stripe for five free throws to salvage his scoring line. He came alive in the second half, sparking a 36-point third quarter for the Celtics, and finishing the second half with 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting. He drained a pair of free throws with 33.5 second left to tie the ballgame, but it was Derrick White that took the final shot for the Celtics as time expired. The 29-year-old superstar has enjoyed one of the highest usage rates in the entire league this season and is averaging nearly 28 points per-game through 12 contests, delivering eighth-round value for fantasy purposes. The Celtics are back in action on Wednesday night when they host the Grizzlies.

For just the second time this season, Simons recorded a 20-point game, with the 25 matching his tally in an October 27 win over New Orleans. All due respect to the Pelicans, but putting up an efficient 25 points on the Magic is a different matter. Over his last three games, Simons is shooting 19-of-37 from the field, and as a result, his season percentage is approaching 44 percent. His overall fantasy value remains low, but this three-game stretch was much-needed for Simons as he looks to establish himself in Boston. The Celtics begin a three-game Week 4 in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Regardless of how many points he scores, White consistently provides fantasy managers with excellent value. Sunday was his first game with at least 20 points since Boston’s season opener against the 76ers, and he also provided solid value in assists, steals and three-pointers. White is providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats, and history suggests he’s capable of being even better as the season progresses. Boston plays three games during Week 4, but only one will be played after Wednesday.

While Brown’s streak of 30-point games ended at three, he’s scored 28 or more in six of his last seven. The Celtics wing has been a better option in eight-cat formats than nine-cat for most of his career, and that has been the case this season as well. While providing eighth-round value in the latter, Brown has been four rounds better in eight-cat. The key to closing the gap is turnovers, of which JB’s averaging 3.6 per game. He had four on Sunday, which was the lone negative to his night.

Since going through a three-game stretch in which he shot 3-of-21 from beyond the arc, Pritchard has found his stroke. Making five of his eight attempts, the Celtics guard has gone 11-of-25 from deep over the last three games, scoring at least 18 points in each. Pritchard offers limited defensive value, making his three-point production that much more critical to his fantasy value. He and the Celtics will look to even the score when they face the Magic again on Sunday.

Walsh came into November as a forgotten man in Boston’s rotation, playing just four total minutes in October. However, he played 19 minutes against the Rockets on Saturday and then was up to 24 minutes on Wednesday. These were not garbage-time minutes either, as Walsh checked into the game in the first quarter. He was a plus-27 on the night and received praise from head coach Joe Mazzulla after the game, so it’s possible that Walsh could pick up extra minutes at the expense of Hugo Gonzalez and Baylor Scheierman going forward.

Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats.

Wednesday’s performance was his best, with the forward notching a career-high point total and three steals.

But the potential to have nights like Wednesday may entice some to roll the dice on him.
