Hendricks is a late addition to the injury report, a concerning development for a team that’s currently lacking frontcourt depth. Due to the injuries, Memphis would have to rely even more on GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper if Hendricks can’t play.

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. O-Max has benefited from numerous injuries and trades, so he likely won’t make much of a fantasy impact next season. However, he’ll hold some value during silly season over the final month of the year.

The team announced that the surgery on his left ankle was successful, and he’s expected to make a full recovery ahead of next season. Edey was incredibly effective when he was on the floor, and he is considered an important part of the Grizzlies’ future. Hopefully he’ll be healthier next season after logging just 11 games this year. He played 66 games as a rookie, so there is reason for optimism entering next season.

Back in the lineup after a two-game absence, Jerome logged 24 minutes against the Timberwolves. Fellow backcourt starter Scotty Pippen Jr. (8/3/5/1 with one three-pointer) also played 24 minutes, and both could be held out of Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers. If so, that would mean more opportunities for Walter Clayton Jr. (9/1/9/2 with one three-pointer) and Cam Spencer (10/2/4/1 with one three-pointer) to show what they can do.

Appearing in a game for the first time since February 9, Coward was used in a reserve role against the Timberwolves. The rookie wing played 24 minutes, an unsurprising number, given the time missed. Memphis hosts Portland on Wednesday, so fantasy managers should plan for the possibility of Coward not playing. If he sits, Rayan Rupert (13/6/1/1/1 with two three-pointers in 24 minutes) could see his playing time increase.

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. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Wells is worth a look in deeper leagues if he’s still on the waiver wire. The only issue is that Memphis plays just two more games in Week 19, starting with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Moody was limited to 25 minutes in Monday’s defeat, exiting after suffering right wrist and shoulder injuries during the second half. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed after the game that the guard jammed his right wrist and injured his shoulder, and the team expects to learn more about the severity on Tuesday. If Moody were to miss time, that could open the door for Gui Santos (5/10/3/3 with one three-pointer) to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Monday.

Monday’s game was the first in which Horford and Draymond Green (4/2/6/1 with one three-pointer in 31 minutes) started alongside each other since a January 30 loss to the Pistons. While Green struggled, especially in the second half, Horford was solid in his 27 minutes. And the 39-year-old has played more recently, due in part to the Warriors’ many injuries. Since the beginning of February, Horford has played between 26 and 28 minutes in seven of his last 10 appearances. And with the Warriors not knowing when Kristaps Porziņģis (illness) will be able to return, they’ll continue to rely on Horford, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Monday’s game was a tale of two halves for Podziemski and the Warriors. Getting out to a fast start against a Clippers squad that played the night prior, Golden State led by as much as 17, and Podziemski scored 20 first-half points. The Clippers ramped up the defensive pressure after halftime, limiting Podz to two points and seemingly playing the entire half in transition because of their ability to force turnovers. Fantasy managers will certainly take Podziemski’s final stat line, but they were likely hoping for more offense after his stellar first half.

While Brook Lopez isn’t the force that he’s been in seasons past, the Warriors still needed to match up with him defensively. As a result, Horford is in the starting lineup, pushing Gui Santos to the bench. While Steve Kerr’s rotation can be unpredictable at times, Santos should still play plenty.

His absence has left the Warriors to rely mainly on Draymond Green and Al Horford when they’re available.

While Curry is making progress in his recovery from a right knee issue, described as “runner’s knee,” the Warriors guard said during an interview on Saturday that he has not yet begun on-court work. The reported timeline means that the door is still open for Curry to return to action before the fantasy playoffs conclude, so he should continue to be stashed in IL slots. Gui Santos, who recently earned a standard contract worth $15 million over three years, is worth rostering while Curry sits, as is De’Anthony Melton.

Signed to a 10-day contract one week ago, Rupert doesn’t have many more opportunities to show what he can do in Memphis. That’s what makes his performance against the Pacers so important.

Sunday’s start was the second for Clayton since being traded to the Grizzlies, filling the void left by the injured Ty Jerome. While the rookie guard did not offer much value in the points category, he was on a roll setting up teammates. Not only were Clayton’s 15 assists a season-high, but this was also his first game reaching double digits in that category. And with Clayton recording four steals and two turnovers, those who slotted him into lineups had to be thrilled with the return.

Wells has been a more consistent scorer for the Grizzlies over the last month, giving his fantasy ceiling a slight boost in the process. Since scoring six points in a January 28 loss to the Hornets, he’s averaged 14.5 points per game on 51.1 percent shooting from the field. The issue for Wells managers is that he has not provided much value outside of the points category, so the fantasy boost has not been as big as one would hope. The Grizzlies play three games in Week 19, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

After getting off to an uneven start in his first few games with the Grizzlies, Hendricks has reached double figures in four straight games. The 19 points were the most he’s scored in a game since December 23, when he scored 23 against the Grizzlies while still a member of the Jazz. With the Grizzlies announcing before Sunday’s game that Zach Edey (ankle) will undergo another surgery, Hendricks offers a higher fantasy ceiling, even if he isn’t a traditional center.

Edey is having surgery to resolve ongoing discomfort and talar bone stress in his left ankle. The 23-year-old previously had ankle surgery last June to address the lateral joint. Edey is expected to make a full recovery, according to the Grizzlies, though he’s currently without a timetable for return. Santi Aldama should be rostered in most formats with Edey out for the foreseeable future. It would be surprising if Edey played again this year. He will likely finish the season with just 11 starts, but a .656 field-goal percentage and a bushel of blocks and rebounds. He does have some real upside (if he can stay healthy) in the 2026-27 fantasy season, especially if the Grizzlies move off Ja Morant and have to use Edey as an offensive focal point.

Moody has now made at least three three-pointers in six straight games, good news for fantasy managers who roster for that specific reason. There were other positives to the Warriors’ wing’s performance, as he recorded three assists and two steals. Since the All-Star break, Moody has been close to a top-100 player in category leagues.

Stephen Curry (knee) still hasn’t resumed on-court workouts, so it’s going to be a bit longer until he’s able to return. If Santos is sitting on the waiver wire, pick him up.

On a night when all nine Warriors who saw action scored at least nine points, Payton was among the most productive. GPII matched his season-high with 19 points, and his overall line only lacked a blocked shot.
