The Grizzlies are without Santi Aldama, who is dealing with a calf injury, meaning another replacement is needed to fill the void initially left by Jaren Jackson Jr. Williams receives the nod, but GG Jackson should also figure more prominently in the rotation.

Aldama sat out two straight games before returning to Memphis’ lineup on Friday, but he’ll miss his third game in four outings when the Grizzlies visit the Pelicans. With Jaren Jackson Jr. already sidelined, GG Jackson and Vince Williams Jr. could see increased run. Scotty Pippen Jr. could fill in some of Kennard’s vacated minutes.

Fox was traded to the Spurs prior to the trade deadline after he and the Kings failed to agree on a contract extension. On Friday, the 27-year-old point guard struggled in a matchup against his former teammates. Fox had 16 points on 17 shots as he shot 35 percent from the floor. It was an off-night, but Fox has been solid overall since the All-Star break as he ranks just outside the top-50 in fantasy value in that time.

Castle has now scored at least 22 points in four of his last five games. The 20-year-old shooting guard has made at least 50 percent of his field goals in four of his last five games as well. Still available in most fantasy leagues, Castle might be worth rostering as he continues to push for the Rookie of the Year Award down the stretch of the season.

Edey played just 22 minutes against the Mavericks on Friday, but he was a rebounding machine. The 22-year-old rookie center from Purdue grabbed 10 offensive rebounds alone in this one. Edey has shown he’s capable of providing fantasy value when on the floor, but his minutes aren’t consistently high enough to provide consistent points and rebounds. If they were, he’d have a lot more double-doubles this year.

Bane averages six rebounds per game on the season, but has now grabbed at least 10 rebounds in three of his last four games. Not bad for a 26-year-old shooting guard. Bane’s fantasy managers will certainly take a 16-rebound effort Friday against the Mavericks, giving him 32 rebounds in three games so far this week. He has another chance to add to his rebound total for the week Sunday against the Pelicans.

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. The 25-year-old point guard also played 32 minutes in that game. Morant doesn’t seem to be phased by the shoulder issue and he wasn’t listed on the injury report Friday. While he had 31 points, he wasn’t very efficient as he took 29 shots and was just 1-of-5 from behind the 3-point line.

As expected, Aldama and Konchar are available for Friday’s game. The former is more impactful on fantasy basketball, as he should be rostered in most 12-team leagues. Konchar has not been as productive but will be in the Grizzlies’ rotation.

Aldama and Konchar, initially considered questionable for Friday’s game, are on track to play.

Jackson Jr. has already been ruled out and is being considered “week-to-week.” It’s unclear when he’ll be back, but if he is already shooting and dribbling, it is a good sign that it may be sooner rather than later. Aldama is questionable for Friday’s game after missing the Grizzlies’ last two. If he remains out, Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson should be in line for more minutes. Williams Jr. started on Wednesday and contributed 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

This will be a sixth-straight absence for Bassey, and there is no end in sight. Bismack Biyombo will continue to start at center for San Antonio. With Victor Wembanyama sidelined for the rest of the season, Bassey figures to play a significant role when he gets healthy. However, it’s unclear when he’ll be back, so he isn’t worth stashing.

After Wednesday’s loss to Oklahoma City, Morant mentioned that he has been dealing with a right shoulder issue all season. It has forced him to miss some time, including the two games before the Grizzlies played the Thunder. However, it won’t keep him out of the lineup against Dallas on Friday. He played 32 minutes on Wednesday and should see a similar workload against the Mavs.

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.

With Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf) unavailable, Williams was tabbed to make his first start of the season on Wednesday. He didn’t have the best night, but the Grizzlies wing scored in double figures for the third time this season. Williams’ streaming staying power depends on the health of Jackson and Aldama, with the former considered week-to-week and the latter day-to-day. Wednesday’s performance wasn’t good enough to make Williams a must-add, but deep-league managers should watch for the injury report ahead of Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

With Ja Morant returning from a shoulder injury, Bane did not have the ball in his hands as often Wednesday night. His value took a hit, as he only recorded one assist while shooting 5-of-14 from the field. Bane has been a top 40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, so one subpar night will not crater his value. And games against the Mavericks (Friday) and Pelicans (Sunday) should help Bane rebound before the end of Week 18.

Morant’s right shoulder had been an issue well before he missed games against the Spurs and Hawks, and it appeared to impact his shot on Wednesday. He hit two three-pointers during the second half, so that’s a positive from Morant’s performance against the Thunder. The Grizzlies point guard is only shooting 36.4 percent from the field since the All-Star break, nearly five points below his mark for the season (43.1). However, the upcoming schedule may work in Morant’s favor, as the Grizzlies end Week 18 with games against the Mavericks and Pelicans.

Morant returns to action after missing two games with a shoulder injury, which pushes Luke Kennard to the bench. The other notable change is Williams, who steps into the void left by the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle). While a risky streaming option, Vince is worth a look in deep leagues.

Pippen played just 16 minutes off the bench Monday against the Hawks with Ja Morant out. With Morant back Wednesday, it’s possible Pippen will fall out of the Grizzlies’ rotation. The 24-year-old point guard doesn’t have much fantasy value going into the matchup against the Thunder.

Aldama is set to miss his second game in a row with a sore right calf. The 24-year-old power forward is likely to be replaced in the starting lineup once again by Zach Edey.

After recording double-doubles in two losses to the Pelicans, Biyombo provided minimal value in the following three games. He managed to snap out of that funk Tuesday night, with the veteran center recording his best stat line of the season. Biyombo hasn’t been the most reliable option, with Victor Wembanyama done for the season, but he’s worth streaming in deep leagues because he’s a starter. There’s no need to add Biyombo on Wednesday morning, as the Spurs don’t play again until Friday. He’ll be worthy of consideration then.

Fox was solid on Tuesday, and that’s all the Spurs needed, with Devin Vassell having the best night of his NBA career. Since the All-Star break, Fox has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, ranking just outside the top 50. With the Spurs trailing the Mavericks by four games in the loss column, getting back into the play-in conversation is not unrealistic. That may motivate the team to allow its veterans to play out the rest of the season, benefiting Fox managers.

Castle’s fantasy value hasn’t been great since the All-Star break, as he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. However, his recent offensive production is likely strengthening his case for Rookie of the Year. Castle has scored 17 points or more in four straight games, and the overall stat line on Tuesday was solid outside of the foul shooting. He’s rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which may increase ahead of the Spurs’ games on Friday and Sunday.

Not too long ago, some questioned whether or not it was time for fantasy managers to move on from Vassell. Those who refused to do so were rewarded significantly Tuesday night, as he had the best game of his NBA career. The 37 points were a career-high for Vassell, who shot 8-of-11 from three and recorded a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, Devin has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately, he’ll have to wait a few days to build on Tuesday’s performance, as the Spurs don’t play again until Friday.

Jackson suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain during the first quarter of Monday’s loss to the Hawks. While the Grizzlies have given him a week-to-week designation, this injury can require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time. Fantasy managers who have Jackson rostered should stash him in an IL+ slot if possible. As for who can provide added fantasy value, Santi Aldama (when healthy) is the best target. He’s questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder with a sore right calf.

Santi Aldama (calf) wasn’t available for Monday’s game, so Edey returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Saturday.

With Ja Morant (shoulder) out for a second straight game, Bane had to take on more playmaking responsibilities on Monday. While he did commit five turnovers, the 30-point triple-double outweighs that negative. Since the break, Bane has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Whether or not Morant is available, Bane will provide reliable fantasy value. But his ceiling is raised on nights like Monday.

Vassell has scored 15 points or more in consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month. While the fantasy value since the All-Star break has been poor, the Spurs wing has been a 12th-round player over the past week.

If Vassell can increase the defensive numbers, his fantasy value should improve despite the inconsistent scoring.

A double-digit scorer in three of his last four games, Sochan has emerged as the only Spurs power forward or center worth rostering with Victor Wembanyama done for the season. Since the All-Star break, he has provided 12th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Bismack Biyombo (two points, four rebounds and two assists) only played 18 minutes despite starting, as the Spurs have been willing to employ smaller lineups due to Sochan’s improved play.

Castle was sensational on Sunday, finishing one point shy of his season high. The rookie guard shot over 50 percent from the field against the Thunder and grabbed eight rebounds. The lone negative for Castle was the turnover count, as he was responsible for four, but the positives outweighed that deficiency. He’s scored 22 points or more in three straight games and has been an 11th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. Despite coming off the bench, Castle will play plenty for the rest of the season.

Fox didn’t necessarily have a terrible Sunday night, but fantasy managers likely hoped for a more robust stat line. While he has been a top-50 player since the All-Star break, it’s fair to wonder if having two point guards on the floor for significant stretches limits the fantasy ceilings of Fox and Chris Paul. CP3 played 28 minutes on Sunday, finishing with six points, three rebounds, six assists, one block and two three-pointers. Managers who have Fox rostered should not lose any sleep over his Sunday night, but he boasts a lower fantasy ceiling in this current lineup.

Rostered in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Johnson’s fantasy value has increased slightly since the All-Star break. The Spurs forward has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats since the break, approaching the top-100. Johnson finished Saturday’s victory with a complete stat line, the first he’s recorded since January 13.

For the third time this season, Castle has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. And he was efficient in getting his numbers on Saturday, shooting 50 percent from the field and only committing one turnover in his 32 minutes on the court. Rostered in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Castle has provided 12th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past month. The Spurs haven’t pulled the plug on this season, and with good reason, as they’re still looking to empower De’Aaron Fox as the point guard of the future. However, as he’s shown in recent games, Castle won’t need a shift to tanking to provide value.

While Vassell’s shooting has not improved much, as he’s made just 37.7 percent of his attempts over the past week, he’s scored 20 points in two of his last three outings. The culprit for the Spurs wing on Saturday was the three-point line, as Vassell shot 2-of-9. He made 70 percent of his two-point attempts, offsetting a poor run from a distance. Over the past month, Vassell has averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game on 25.7 percent shooting. When well over one-third of your attempts are three-pointers, a cold streak will have a more significant impact.

Despite coming off the bench, Sochan remains the best player to add in the aftermath of Victor Wembanyama’s season-ending injury.

Finishes like Saturday are why the Spurs moved to acquire Fox before the trade deadline. His jumper with 1.8 seconds remaining was the difference in Memphis, as San Antonio pulled out the win despite Jaren Jackson Jr. scoring a season-high 42 points. Over the past three weeks, Fox has provided top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Sharing the court with another point guard, Chris Paul (8/3/8/1 with two three-pointers), has cut into Fox’s fantasy value, but he remains a productive guard to have rostered. The Spurs play three games during Week 18, starting with the Nets on Tuesday.

Castle finished Wednesday’s defeat tied for the team-high in points with Keldon Johnson, but the rookie struggled from deep. He shot 1-of-7 from three and is 2-of-16 since the All-Star break. It’s fair to wonder if the busy weekend in San Francisco has been a factor, as Castle was active on all three days (Rising Stars Challenge, Dunk Contest and Sunday’s All-Star tournament). The good news for fantasy managers is that the points, rebounds, assists and steals were solid on Wednesday; only the field-goal percentage was problematic. While the Spurs don’t want to change their approach as the season winds down, Castle will have ample opportunities to “spread his wings” within the system.

Fantasy managers who have Fox rostered will be pleased with the assists and steals, with the six pilfers matching his career-high (living up to the “Swipa” nickname). Unfortunately, efficiency was a problem, as Fox shot 6-of-21 from the field and committed six turnovers. He has averaged 2.8 turnovers per game since making his Spurs debut, so this category has not been a significant issue for Fox.

Vassell didn’t have a great night shooting the ball, but he finished with 20 points after going five straight with 13 or less.
