The Suns are without Devin Booker for Thursday’s game, as he has been sidelined by a sprained left ankle. Allen will fill the void in the starting five, marking his first start since December 14. The other four starters are unchanged.

Spencer didn’t have a great day shooting the basketball, but he still offered excellent value in rebounds and assists. The second-year guard, who only committed one turnover, has hit double digits in assists in three consecutive games. With Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. all injured, and the former the subject of trade rumors, the point guard role belongs to Spencer for now. He’s worth rostering in deep leagues as long as Memphis is shorthanded on the perimeter.

Since scoring a career-high 37 points in a December 23 win over the Jazz, Aldama had not recorded more than 15 points in any game. That changed on Thursday in Berlin, as the Grizzlies forward/center hit all four of his three-point attempts. Zach Edey’s (ankle) absence has opened up additional opportunities for Aldama. Still, the impact has been muted since Jock Landale (6/5/1/1/1 with one three-pointer) has been the replacement in the starting lineup.

Coward finished a steal shy of a complete stat line in Berlin, and he’s been close to a top-75 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Ja Morant trade rumors, the rookie wing is someone who could take on added value if the Grizzlies move their currently injured point guard and focus on improving their draft lottery odds. Memphis and Orlando play again on Sunday in London.

Days like Thursday are a reminder of what Jackson can offer to fantasy managers, even with his lackluster rebounding production. He scored 23 points in the first half before going quiet, but he did record his third 30-point game of the season. Jackson’s poor rebounding makes the defensive categories that much more critical when assessing his fantasy value, and he recorded four “stocks” on Thursday. He’ll look to end Week 13 on a high note when the Grizzlies play the Magic on Sunday in London.

Booker hurt his ankle in the first half against the Heat on Tuesday, but was able to return to the game and play 40 minutes. However, it appears that his ankle injury either tightened up or swelled up on him after the game. As of now, we shouldn’t expect this to sideline Booker for a long period of time. The Suns will hope that Dillon Brooks (illness) can play on Thursday, but Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin should see more minutes tonight.

Allen went off for 25 points and six three-pointers in the loss to the Heat on Tuesday. It was his first game with at least 20 points since November 12 against the Magic, over two months ago. Allen was instant offense off the bench with 25 points in 27 minutes while Royce O’Neale started and had eight points in 32 minutes. If Allen shows some more consistency with his scoring, it’s possible the Suns move him back into the starting lineup in short order.

Booker briefly headed to the locker room to tend to an ankle injury during the first half against the Heat on Tuesday. The 29-year-old shooting guard had 24 points on 6-of-19 from the field and 11-of-11 from the free throw line. It was the third time in his last four games where he only made one three-pointer. Booker was just one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. He’s provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Suns are off until Thursday when they take on the Pistons on the road.

Gillespie had a tough night shooting the basketball, as he was 0-of-6 from beyond the arc. The good news is that he still offered solid value in the rebound, assist and steal categories, so all wasn’t lost for those who still have him rostered. Jalen Green is closing in on a return from his second strained hamstring of the season, so Week 13 may be a good time to consider some alternatives for Gillespie.

Booker and the Suns had little trouble taking care of the Wizards, so he only played 26 minutes. Fantasy managers will be pleased with the assists, but the game being a blowout lowered Booker’s ceiling as a scorer.

The Suns were in control throughout Sunday’s game, with O’Neale’s season-high points tally leading the way. He’s made at least four three-pointers in four consecutive games, which is precisely what deep-league managers hope for when rostering him. The Suns begin a three-game Week 13 on Tuesday in Miami, the first of a six-game road trip.

Coward, who has been battling a lingering ankle issue recently, took on an expanded role from a scoring standpoint in this one with Memphis still playing without mercurial guard Ja Morant due to an ongoing calf injury. The 22-year-old hoisted a team-leading 15 shots and knocked down 5-of-10 from three-point range to fuel his fifth 20-point effort on the season. He drained a pair of clutch treys in the final two minutes of regulation to put the Grizzlies ahead for good. He’ll continue to see an uptick in minutes and scoring opportunities while Morant and other key contributors for the Grizzlies remain sidelined. The Grizzlies are off until Thursday when they face the Magic before closing out the week with a rematch against Orlando on Sunday afternoon.

Landale has made the most of his recent opportunity, starting five consecutive games for the Grizzlies in place of injured center Zach Edey, who remains sidelined with a stress reaction in his left ankle. The 30-year-old big man has reached double-digit points in five of his last six games, while playing nearly 25 minutes during that span. He offers enough scoring and rebounding production to be worthy of consideration as a short-term stopgap in deeper fantasy leagues.

Spencer drew the start at point guard in place of an injured Ja Morant (calf) and reached double-digit points for the third time in his last four games, while posting at least 11 helpers for the second straight contest. The unheralded 25-year-old guard has proven to be a capable scorer and facilitator for the injury-plagued Grizzlies but his fantasy appeal is limited to deeper leagues right now. He has been providing a ton of value in assists and free throw percentage so far.

One reason to consider streaming O’Neale while the Suns are without Jalen Green is the three-point production, and he came through on Friday. The veteran forward hit four of his six attempts against the Knicks while also offering solid value in the rebound category. The lingering questions are: how much longer will Green, who began his ramp-up process, be sidelined by his hamstring injury? And, will the Suns continue to bring Grayson Allen (10/3/1/1 in 26 minutes) off the bench? The answers will have a direct impact on O’Neale’s fantasy value.

Brooks didn’t record any defensive statistics on Friday, but he had another good night on the offensive end of the floor. He’s scored at least 20 points in 18 games this season, six more than his tally with the Rockets in 2024-25. Brooks’ overall game isn’t exactly fantasy-friendly, but he’s hovering just outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats this season. The move to Phoenix has done wonders for the wing, who’s enjoying a level of offensive freedom that he didn’t have in either Memphis or Houston.

Friday’s performance was rather routine for Booker, who has scored at least 30 points in three of his last six outings. Add in the assists and three-pointers, and category-league managers should be relatively pleased with the output. That said, many hoped that Booker would be able to offer first-round fantasy value this season, and it hasn’t happened. The defensive production is limited, and the emergence of Dillon Brooks (scoring) and Collin Gillespie (assists) has also factored into Booker’s reduced fantasy value. That said, there’s no need to panic unless you reached early to draft him.

While he struggled shooting the basketball, Spencer hit double digits in assists for the third time this season. The 11 helpers were two shy of his career-high, as he continues to offer solid fantasy value as Ja Morant’s replacement in the starting lineup. Vince Williams Jr. had a good night off the bench, tallying 13 points, three rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in 23 minutes. Until Morant is healthy enough to play, Spencer and Williams will handle the point guard duties.

Back in the starting lineup after missing two games with a sprained ankle, Coward’s playing time was restricted on Friday. While the field-goal percentage wasn’t great, fantasy managers can make use of the rebounds and assists. GG Jackson, who started while Coward was out, had one of his best games of the season, tallying 18 points, two rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers in 21 minutes. Coward’s minutes will increase in the coming games, likely reducing Jackson’s opportunities.

Playing against a severely depleted Thunder roster, Jackson and the Grizzlies controlled Friday’s game for most of the first three quarters. After making all three of his shot attempts in the third quarter, JJJ was 0-of-3 in the fourth as Memphis lost a game that it led by as much as 21. The final stat line was solid, but fantasy managers may have hoped for more from Jackson on a night when the Grizzlies were once again without Ja Morant.

This was a third straight start for Spencer.

Due to his right hamstring, which was initially injured during the preseason and then aggravated in his second appearance, Green has only appeared in two games this season. According to Ott, he is progressing in his recovery. “Some of that, you can measure. Is he 100% strength? He’s there,” Ott said. “So now, this is the ramp up time period onto the court is where he’s at. That’s currently where he’s at. So he’s fully healthy, strong. His sprint speed is good and now we’re going to give him a couple of weeks to play.” Collin Gillespie has filled in admirably in the starting lineup, and he’s worth holding onto until Green is cleared and playing without restrictions.
