Both players missed Monday’s game against the 76ers, which allowed Keaton Wallace to start at point guard. This was Young’s first absence since LeVert was acquired, so it is unclear if LeVert would have started if he was available, but he certainly would’ve seen extra minutes as the primary ball handler. If they remain sidelined again, Wallace will get another game as a starter, though he only had seven points, two rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes on Monday.

With Caris LeVert (finger) sidelined on Monday, Atlanta’s other trade deadline acquisitions stepped up as scoring options. Mann and Georges Niang (18/4/3) combined to score 37 of the Hawks’ 49 bench points, which helped them secure the win over Philadelphia despite being shorthanded. Mann isn’t a fantasy-friendly option often, but he was able to make an impact in the box score on Monday. However, he isn’t a player that managers should be looking to roster.

With Atlanta shorthanded, the rookie stepped up on offense early, scoring 11 points in the first quarter. This was his fourth time scoring at least 20 points this season, two of those coming in his last five appearances. Risacher has gone under the radar as a rookie, but he is certainly in the conversation for Rookie of the Year. He hasn’t been able to produce value consistently, but when his shot is falling, he has been effective for Atlanta. He’ll look to keep it up against the Hornets on Wednesday.

After missing a month due to a lumbar fracture, Krejci was able to suit up against Philadelphia. It wasn’t a spectacular return to the rotation, but it was encouraging to see him back on the floor.

With Trae Young (quad) sidelined, Wallace slid into the starting lineup for the first time since January. Wallace was productive in his three previous starts this season, but he wasn’t able to replicate that on Monday. The assists were nice, but he struggled as a scorer. In four starts this season, he has averaged 13.5 points ,3.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 three-pointers per game. He should be considered as a deep-league streamer if Young misses more time this season.

With Trae Young (quad) sidelined for this game, Daniels was able to step up on the offensive end as both a scorer and a playmaker. Daniels has enjoyed a breakout year with Young on the floor for most of it, but in four games without Trae, Daniels has averaged 21.5 points, five rebounds, 6.3 assists, 4.3 steals and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 58.3 percent from the floor. While this hopefully isn’t a long-term issue for Young, Daniels will have no issue stepping up if Trae misses more time in the future.

Huff got the spot start, his first since November, and played 25 minutes with the Grizzlies missing Zach Edey, Vince Williams, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. Monday against the Suns.

Morant has scored at least 20 points in 11 of his last 13 games. The 25-year-old point guard continues to deal with a shoulder issue, which has cost him some games, but he’s produced seventh-round value in eight-category leagues since the All-Star break. His turnovers have tanked his value in nine-category leagues and Morant turned it over another five times Monday. He’s had at least four turnovers eight times in his last 13 games, which isn’t going to cut it. Morant is outside the top-150 in nine-category formats since the break.

The Grizzlies are certainly in a bind tonight against the Suns as their four top big men (Edey, Clarke, Santi Aldama, and Jaren Jackson Jr.) have all been ruled out.

Bane recorded his fourth 30-point game of the season on Sunday and efficiently got his points. The Grizzlies guard shot over 50 percent from the field and finished one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Bane’s fantasy value since the All-Star break has been elite, as he has been a first-round player in 12-team leagues (eight- and nine-cat formats). The Grizzlies play four games during Week 19, starting with the Suns on Monday.

While Morant’s availability has been occasionally problematic, the last two games were his most productive of the season. He’s recorded consecutive 30-point games for the first time, tallying 63 points, seven rebounds, 14 assists, four steals and four three-pointers. While Morant has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, he’s ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat due to turnovers. He only committed one on Sunday, a step in the right direction.

The Grizzlies were without Santi Aldama (calf) for Sunday’s game, so Williams made his second start of the season. Unfortunately, the third-year wing could not find his shot. Scotty Pippen Jr. (12/6/2/2/1 with two three-pointers) provided greater value off the bench despite Ja Morant being available. The Grizzlies take on the Suns on Monday night, so Williams may return to the bench.

Morant played 35 minutes in the 11-point victory Friday, which is notable because he mentioned that he’s been dealing with a shoulder injury all season after Wednesday’s game.

Niang’s tenure in Atlanta has been inconsistent as he has alternated between scoring in double figures and scoring less than 10 points basically every other game since he made his debut for the Hawks one month ago. However, Thursday’s performance was one of his best. This was his third 20-point game with Atlanta, and he has provided them with much-needed floor spacing off the bench.

This was the 29th time in Young’s career that he finished with at least 20 points and 15 assists. That puts him in a tie with Steve Nash for the 10th-most such games in NBA history. He has a long way to go to catch Oscar Robertson (94), but Young has consistently put on a passing clinic throughout his career. What made Thursday’s performance special was that he only turned the ball over once. This was only the third time in Young’s career that he had at least 15 assists and one or fewer turnovers. He leads the league at 4.7 turnovers per game, so it certainly isn’t something that managers should grow accustomed to.

Morant returned to the Grizzlies lineup on Wednesday after a two-game absence due to what was described as a right deltoid contusion, and he did not shoot the ball well. Going 8-of-22 from the field overall, Morant missed his first five three-point attempts and finished 2-of-9. Following the game, he said he’s “played like this all season” regarding the shoulder injury. That’s concerning for the Grizzlies and fantasy managers, especially with the Grizzlies scheduled to play two back-to-backs over an eight-day stretch that begins on March 9. Scotty Pippen Jr. played 21 minutes off the bench Wednesday night, and while his fantasy ceiling is low with Morant on the court, he may be in position for more minutes with the Grizzlies star clearly at less than full strength.
