This is a new injury for Butler, and his inclusion on the injury report so late in the day doesn’t bode well for his chances of taking the court against Phoenix. If Butler is sidelined, expect more work for the likes of Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield, with Steph Curry shouldering more responsibilities as a scorer.

Jackson set his season-high for scoring in a second straight game. After scoring 20 points against Toronto on Sunday, he exceeded that mark against Detroit as the Grizzlies dropped a third straight game. Jackson’s scoring has been down early on this season, mostly due to seeing fewer shot attempts. However, he’s shooting efficiently, which helps make up for the lack of volume. He’ll look to make it three straight 20-point outings when they take on the Rockets on Wednesday.

Coward has cooled off a bit after a scorching hot start to his career, but he has still been solid off the bench. He played a career-high 31 minutes in this game, which was more than both Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (25) and Jaylen Wells (21). Wells had a rough shooting night, but this is a situation worth monitoring. Coward could make a move into the starting unit if he keeps playing this well.

After serving a one-game suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team”, Morant returned to his role as the Grizzlies’ starting point guard. It was a subpar shooting night, but he was able to record a double-double. After the game, he was asked if he has his usual joy, and he said “no.” Clearly, the saga in Memphis will continue, though winning does seems to cure all. Unfortunately, the schedule doesn’t get any easier, with the Rockets up next on the schedule on Wednesday.

JJJ scored a team-high in points on a night in which the Grizzlies were without their leading scorer, Ja Morant. With the efficient shooting, Jackson Jr. was able to reach the 20-point mark for the first time this season. The former Defensive Player of the Year didn’t land any stocks in this game, however, which has now happened in back-to-back games and for the third time already this season. The Grizzlies, and fantasy managers, would likely benefit from Jackson Jr. returning to last year’s form.

Landale continues to provide the Grizzlies with solid production at the starting center spot. He shot efficiently and turned in another double-digit scoring performance on the heels of a 16-point game against the Lakers. Sunday marked his third time within the past seven days that he’s reached at least 14 points and had multiple three-point makes in a game. Landale appears to have some comfort in this Memphis offense, sharing the starting frontcourt alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. He has served as a nice starting center while Memphis deals with injuries.

Williams had better production in his second appearance of the season and was one of several Grizzlies players to provide value off the bench against the Raptors on Sunday. In just 21 minutes of action, his efficient shooting and contributions from beyond the arc allowed him to finish as one of Memphis’ top scorers on the evening, while also concluding as one of the team’s better facilitators. As Williams logs more game reps after a heel injury forced him to miss the beginning of the season, there’s a chance his workload and production could increase going forward.

Starting point guard Ja Morant is serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Spencer will fill the void, making the second start of his NBA career. With the Grizzlies also being without Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr., Spencer is worth the streaming risk in deeper leagues.

Podziemski made his fourth start of the season on Saturday, replacing Quentin Post in the lineup while Draymond Green shifted to the five. The third-year guard was solid, shooting 60 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. Rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Podziemski provides top-100 value in nine-cat formats while averaging 29.7 minutes per game. He may not always start, but the role remains prominent. As for Post, he played 13 minutes against the Pacers, finishing with nine points, three rebounds and one three-pointer. There’s no need to roster him in redraft leagues.

Butler continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP, providing top-30 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. His stat line on Saturday included five defensive contributions, the most in a game for him this season. Butler’s current numbers are unquestionably sustainable, with the concern being his availability. Butler has not appeared in 65 or more games in a season since 2018-19. The Warriors will play four games during Week 3, starting with Phoenix on Tuesday.

Curry may have led the Warriors in scoring, but this was a subpar night for the future Hall of Fame guard. In addition to the low field-goal percentage, he committed five turnovers and shot 4-of-16 from beyond the arc. However, even with this poor showing, Curry is providing top-10 value in eight-cat formats and top-15 in nine-cat. The Warriors play four games during Week 3, starting with the Suns on Tuesday, and it would be unsurprising if Curry bounced back in a big way.

The Warriors are starting Saturday’s game with a smaller lineup, with Podziemski replacing center Quinten Post. This raises the former’s fantasy ceiling, and it also means that Kuminga and Green will shift down a position. Post’s playing time will decrease with the lineup change.

Morant’s suspension stems from comments made following Friday’s loss to the Lakers. The Grizzlies’ point guard had a disappointing performance, shooting 3-of-14 from the field and finishing with eight points, one rebound, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes. When asked about his struggles, Morant told the assembled media to “go ask the coaching staff.” According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo challenged Morant’s leadership following the game, to which the point guard responded in a way that prompted the suspension. He’ll miss Sunday’s game against the Raptors, making Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. players to consider grabbing off the waiver wire.

Jackson isn’t the offensive catalyst that Ja Morant is for the Grizzlies, but he’s certainly one of the teams’ best players. The 26-year-old power forward had just two points in the second half as Memphis blew a 14-point halftime lead to the Lakers on Friday. Jackson was also fairly quiet in the other categories as he had four rebounds, one assist and no blocks or steals before he fouled out. He could stand to be more assertive on offense as he only took eight shots in the game while Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Santi Aldama, Cedric Coward and Vince Williams Jr. all took more in a close loss.

The Grizzlies were up by 14 at halftime, but Morant had trouble scoring all night and outright failed to score in the second half. The 26-year-old point guard is playing through an ankle injury, which could be contributing to him scoring above 23 points only twice in six games. Morant isn’t known for his three-point shooting, but he’s 5-for-30 from behind the three-point line so far. Overall, he’s had two good games out of six and he needs to be more consistent and efficient on offense.

Castle did not record a season-high point total on Thursday, but one can argue that this was his best all-around performance. The reigning Rookie of the Year shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line while committing a season-low two turnovers. In San Antonio’s first four games, Castle was responsible for at least five turnovers in each. His role will change once De’Aaron Fox recovers fully from his hamstring injury. Still, the key for Castle will be efficiency, regardless of who’s available.

Butler, who’s scored at least 20 points in five of Golden State’s first six games, recorded his first double-double of the season on Thursday. He’s looked sharp and motivated thus far, which is a good sign for the Warriors and fantasy managers with Butler on their rosters. His Yahoo! ADP of 50 may have been conservative, but with good reason. So far, those who were willing to draft Butler are benefiting from their decision to do so.

While Kuminga has averaged at least 15 points per game each of the last three seasons, the 2025-26 season has a different feel thus far. His role is solidified, which has led to Kuminga better navigating the balance of getting his offense and understanding that things still revolve around Stephen Curry. Rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Kuminga is providing middle-round value in 12-team formats. Now would be a good time for some holdouts to grab JK off the waiver wire if he’s available.

Curry led the Warriors in scoring on Thursday, getting back over the 20-point mark after totaling 35 in the previous two games. He’s averaging 27.0 points per game through six games and providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats. And Curry has done this despite his playing time decreasing slightly. He’s averaging 31.1 minutes per game, which would be Curry’s lowest average since the 2011-12 season (not counting the 2019-20 season in which he played five games). With the Warriors’ goal being to ensure that Curry’s healthy and fresh for the stretch run, some fantasy managers may be concerned. There’s no need to be.

Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Despite coming off the bench, Aldama has value in some 12-team leagues.

Jackson has been consistent on offense, scoring between 16 and 19 points in each of the Grizzlies’ five games. However, that has not been the case on the boards. After totaling five rebounds in games against the Heat and Pacers, he’s grabbed 13 over the last two games. The Grizzlies need a bit more from Jackson in that category as they await the returns of Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke. And a consistently productive Jackson on the boards would also benefit fantasy managers.

While Morant did commit six turnovers, he shot over 50 percent from the field and made the game’s biggest shot. With 7.3 seconds remaining, his floater gave the Grizzlies a 114-113 lead that would stand as the final score after a Devin Booker miss. Morant’s 28 points are the most he’s scored in a game since the opener, when he dropped 35 on the Pelicans. The lingering concern for Morant is that he’s likely due for an extended absence at some point. However, he’s had no issues thus far after missing the preseason with an ankle injury.

Playing their second game in as many nights, the Warriors were able to manage the minutes of their key players due to the nature of Tuesday’s victory. Butler and Draymond Green (7/7/4/3 with one three-pointer) were the only players to hit or exceed 30 minutes, and both were done by about the five-minute mark in the fourth quarter. Through five games, Butler is providing third-round value in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 50.

Kuminga’s production on Tuesday was modest, but that doesn’t erase the fact that he’s gotten off to a good start.

While fantasy managers may not have been thrilled with Curry’s final stat line, the Warriors were probably over the moon that he only needed to play 26 minutes in the second game of a back-to-back.

Golden State hits the road for a two-game road trip, finishing Week 2 with games against the Bucks and Pacers.

Jackson Jr. did the bulk of his scoring in the beginning and end of Monday’s contest, but really struggled to make an impact on offense during the middle two quarters. He still found a way to score at least 15 points for the fourth time in as many games to begin the season, but tallied a season-low in points while shooting under 50.0 percent from the field for the first time. Jackson Jr. has yet to log a dominant performance on offense, but his next opportunity to do so will be on Wednesday against the Suns.

Inefficient shooting prevented Morant from a more stellar stat line on Monday — he made fewer than half of his two-pointers and missed all of his six attempts from beyond the arc.

Ultimately, he finished just one assist shy of the double-double against the Warriors but will have a chance to log his first of the season against the Suns on Wednesday.
