A sore right thumb is likely to keep Hendricks out of Monday’s game, the first of two in as many nights for the Grizzlies. Starters GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper take on added importance if Hendricks sits, and Jahmai Mashack may be asked to play rotation minutes again.

Since the All-Star break, Hendricks has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. He recorded an excellent stat line on Saturday, doing his damage in 26 minutes off the bench. Given the defensive ability, Hendricks should not have any issues getting minutes the rest of the season. GG Jackson remains the superior option among Grizzlies’ forwards, but managers in deep leagues should not sleep on Hendricks.

Back in the lineup after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, Jerome provided solid value in points, assists and steals. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-50 player since making his season debut last month. However, the Week 20 schedule is a bad one for Jerome, as Memphis has two back-to-backs. Instead of four games, he may be available for two. The same goes for Scotty Pippen Jr., who finished Saturday’s defeat with 11 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

Nembhard is still dealing with soreness in his back and neck, but he did play 31 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers. However, while he was considered probable ahead of that game, the Pacers’ guard is questionable for Sunday’s game. Kam Jones, who did not play on Friday, could move into the rotation if Nembhard can’t play.

In recent games, there hasn’t been much separation in the playing time for starter Jay Huff and backup Micah Potter. That wasn’t the case on Friday, as Huff logged 33 minutes to Potter’s 14. Huff recorded a complete stat line in his time on the court, while Potter finished with eight points, six rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer. Playing 30-plus minutes consistently would raise Huff’s fantasy ceiling for the rest of the season, but that isn’t guaranteed.

Limited to 24 minutes in Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Clippers, Nembhard played 31 minutes against the Lakers. And the production was there, with the point guard shooting 50 percent from the field and dishing out eight assists. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle stuck with a rotation of Nembhard and T.J. McConnell (10 points, one rebound, four assists and two steals), with Kam Jones picking up another DNP-CD.

Siakam logged 29 minutes on Friday, finishing with an excellent stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. As long as he’s close to 30 minutes, fantasy managers should not have much to worry about regarding Spicy P’s fantasy value. The Pacers play one more game in Week 19, visiting the Trail Blazers on Sunday.

This has Morant being re-evaluated around March 19, which means he will miss at least two months with this injury. There is a chance he returns shortly after, but this could be nearing the end of the fantasy playoffs in many leagues.

With Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) returning after a one-game absence, there were going to be fewer minutes available to Jones. However, his not playing at all was a bit surprising. Nembhard played 24 minutes and T.J. McConnell played 16, with Quenton Jackson getting 18 minutes off the bench. There was no room in the rotation for Jones, who has to appear in 17 of Indiana’s final 20 games to fully guarantee his contract for the 2026-27 season.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle continues to stick with a timeshare at the center position, with Huff and Micah Potter (10 points, six rebounds, one block and one three-pointer) handling the responsibilities. On Wednesday, Huff logged 25 minutes while Potter logged 24, with the overlap occurring due to both being on the court in the final minutes of the 130-107 defeat. Over the past month, both have provided top-100 value in eight-cat formats and are worth a look in deeper leagues.

Nesmith was back in the Pacers’ rotation after a five-game absence, and he was immediately thrust into the starting lineup. He had a rough go of it against the Clippers, shooting 1-of-4 from two and 0-of-4 from beyond the arc. Nesmith was limited to 20 minutes, and his fantasy value was low even before the ankle injury. Besides his status as a starter, there isn’t much reason to consider rostering Nesmith in most fantasy leagues.

After missing three games with a sprained wrist, Siakam played 30 minutes against the Clippers. And he was highly effective, shooting excellent percentages from the field and the foul line. There may not have been any defensive stats to speak of, but most fantasy managers will be happy that Siakam was allowed to play 30 minutes in a blowout defeat. Indiana plays two more games in Week 19, and the good news for fantasy managers is that they don’t have a back-to-back. Hopefully, that means Siakam will be available for both.

Because it was the team’s second game in as many nights, the Grizzlies played Wednesday’s game without Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. Those absences freed up a few more opportunities for Spencer, even if he was still used in a reserve role. The second-year guard’s seven assists were the most in a game for him since February 20, when Spencer dished out ten in a win over the Jazz. While Jerome, Pippen and Javon Small (11/7/5/2/1 with one three-pointer) may boast higher ceilings since they’ve been in the starting lineup when available, deep-league managers should not sleep on Spencer.

On the same day that he agreed to a multi-year contract that ensured he would be available for the rest of the season, Prosper recorded a solid stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. Given how shorthanded the Grizzlies are in the frontcourt, O-Max should play plenty the rest of the season, even if he’s being used out of position. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Prosper has been close to a top-100 player since the All-Star break.

The 2023 first-round pick wasn’t able to find his footing in Dallas, but he has played well enough to earn a full contract with Memphis. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

A double-digit scorer in 13 of his last 14 appearances, Wells has averaged 15.3 points on 53.2 percent shooting from the field since the All-Star break. While the production outside of points and three-pointers was lean on Tuesday, the second-year wing has been a top-100 player since the break.
