Clingan has recorded a double-double in two of his last three games and has at least 11 rebounds in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old center also made his impact felt on the defensive end with a steal and three blocks. Clingan has played under 30 minutes in four consecutive games, which has been a drag on his fantasy value lately.

Avdija returned from a back injury with 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Pacers. The story was similar Tuesday against the Hornets as he had 22 points, though the Trail Blazers lost. Avdija played 34 minutes Tuesday after playing 25 on Sunday, which is certainly a positive development as he’s now seemingly over his back injury. The Trail Blazers have two more games this week and Avdija should be available for both of them.

Jerome sat out the first leg of this back-to-back but was available and starting for this one. He played a season-high 23 minutes in his last appearance and surpassed that with 25 minutes in this one. They’ll continue to manage his minutes and games, but he has been fantastic when he’s been on the floor. Despite the restrictions, Jerome has been productive enough to be worth keeping around in standard leagues, though his upside will be capped.

After sitting out Monday’s loss to Brooklyn, Coward returned to take on Philadelphia. Despite playing just 23 minutes, Coward was able to record a double-double, which included him matching his career high for boards in a game. Coward has had a strong rookie season, but his availability has been spotty, and his minutes have been limited when he has played. Don’t expect that to change with the Grizzlies tanking.

With Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. sitting out Monday’s game, Small made his fourth start of the season in Brooklyn. And this was his most productive game as a starter, with the final stat line only lacking a blocked shot. Like Rayan Rupert, Small is on a two-way deal, so he isn’t guaranteed to be active every night. However, he’ll be worth a roll of the dice on nights when Jerome and Pippen don’t play.

Limited to eight points in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers after reaching double figures in 14 of his previous 15 appearances, Wells started a new streak on Monday. However, limited production in the defensive categories has limited his value, especially in eight-cat formats. Wells had a good night against the Nets, and it’s a performance that fantasy managers hope he can build on moving forward.

Having played well enough while on a 10-day contract to earn a two-way deal, Rupert has added security for the final month of the 2025-26 season. Nights like Monday will go a long way toward him getting more than a two-way deal in the future. The Grizzlies’ wing played 36 minutes off the bench due to the team’s many absences, recording the first 20-point game of his career. As a two-way player, Rupert isn’t guaranteed to be available every night because of the 50-game limit. However, he’ll be worth a look on nights when he’s active, and the Grizzlies are as shorthanded as they were in Brooklyn.

The Grizzlies won’t have Ty Jerome or Scotty Pippen Jr. for Monday’s game, which has freed up two spots in the starting lineup. Small and Spencer have received the nod, with the latter offering a higher fantasy ceiling. Walter Clayton Jr. should play increased minutes off the bench.

Back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup after a six-game absence, Avdija started and played 25 minutes on Sunday. Given the time off and how long his lower back injury has lingered, the Trail Blazers weren’t going to take any risks with the All-Star wing. Avdija missed all four of his three-point attempts, but fantasy managers can work with the rebounds, assists and blocks. Portland’s three-game Week 20 concludes with a back-to-back that extends into Week 21, so Avdija may be limited to two appearances.

Holiday was one of three Trail Blazers to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, with Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant being the others. The veteran guard shot 70 percent from the field against the Pacers, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. While the defensive production was limited, that isn’t an issue for Holiday on most nights.

Grant may not have done much in the rebound category, an unsurprising development for him, but he compensated for that with excellent production in other areas. The veteran forward has now scored at least 21 points in three straight and seven of his last eight games. Add in the three-pointers, steals and blocked shots, and Sunday was an excellent night to have Grant in fantasy lineups.

After struggling in two spot starts, Henderson returned to the bench on Sunday due to Deni Avdija’s return from a back injury. And the shift to his usual role may have done Scoot some good. The third-year guard recorded his first 20-point game of the season, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field. Also notable about Henderson’s complete stat line was his lack of turnovers. He didn’t commit any in Sunday’s victory, a major step in the right direction for the Trail Blazers guard. Portland plays three games in Week 20, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

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.

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.

For the first time since being traded from Atlanta to Portland, Krejčí was back in town playing against his former team. The 29 minutes were the most he’s played in a game since the trade, with Kris Murray’s first-half exit due to an illness being a factor. Krejčí, who shot 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter. With Portland off until Wednesday, that may be enough time for Murray and, more importantly, Deni Avdija (back) to return to full strength. If so, Krejčí will likely continue to come off the bench.
