Between the 17 minutes of game action and the seven field goals he attempted, there weren’t many opportunities for Jackson to produce on Monday. Still, he made good on most of his chances by missing just one shot overall, landing a blocked shot, and doing a decent job on the glass in his minutes. However, it wasn’t the type of fantasy performance that those fantasy managers who roster him are likely thrilled about. He’ll have a chance to fill it up on Wednesday against the Knicks.

Harper was one of three Spurs reserves to score in double figures on Monday, with Keldon Johnson (15/2/1/1 with two three-pointers) and Luke Kornet (10 points, five rebounds and one assist) being the others. Over the past two weeks, Harper has averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.9 three-pointers per game. Backing up Stephon Castle and De’Aaron Fox does limit the rookie’s fantasy ceiling, but he has offered a solid floor since the All-Star break

While Victor Wembanyama stole the show on Monday with his 40-point double-double, Castle was also excellent in the 129-114 win over the Bulls. The second-year guard finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double, which would have been his second in as many games. Over the past two weeks, Castle has averaged 9.4 assists per game, helping preserve his fantasy value at a time when turnovers and free-throw percentage have been a problem.

Facing fellow France national team member Guerschon Yabusele, Wembanyama was dominant on Monday. In addition to scoring a season-high 41 points, the Spurs’ sensational center was responsible for 16 rebounds. Wembanyama has corralled at least 15 boards in four consecutive appearances, his most productive run on the glass this season. Add in the assists, blocks and three-pointers, and Wemby got his Week 23 off to an excellent start.

Burton has been one of Memphis’ most consistent offensive performers over the last seven games. In that time, he’s scored at least 17 points four times and been reliable from beyond the arc. He’s been playing on a 10-day contract and, whether or not he earns another prior to the season’s end, he seems to be taking advantage of the opportunities that have come his way.

Spencer did well in his 18 minutes on the floor against Phoenix. He shot well and was particularly productive from the three-point line, while also finishing as one of Memphis’ best facilitators on the evening. The second-year guard has proven this season to be a productive player from a fantasy standpoint. Should he find a larger role in Year 3, he could potentially blossom into a must-roster player.

Spencer joins the opening unit for the Grizzlies on Monday, replacing the injured Javon Small (back). Mashack’s inclusion in the starting five also comes by way of injury — he’ll start on the wing in place of the injured Olivier-Maxence Prosper (shoulder). While the Grizzlies are out of playoff contention, they still offer some intriguing fantasy options, namely Cedric Coward and GG Jackson.

Wells was injured during a March 23 game against the Hawks, as he suffered a tendon avulsion fracture in his right great toe. The second-year wing played in 69 games this season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes. Wells started slowly, playing his best basketball in February and March. He’s likely to be a late-round option, at best, in drafts next fall. However, it remains to be seen what the Grizzlies will do with Ja Morant and how that decision affects the entire roster.

Jarreau had to leave Saturday’s game during the fourth quarter with a sore right elbow, but he was effective in his 19 minutes before being shut down. All that his stat line lacked was a three-pointer, but this was a solid performance for a player whose second 10-day contract is winding down.

Mashack matched his season-high in points on Saturday, and he did so while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. For category league managers, the overall stat line was somewhat lean. However, this was an impressive performance for the rookie, especially because Saturday’s game was Mashack’s first after a six-game absence. As a two-way contract player, Mashack is not a lock to be available for every game left on Memphis’ schedule, which makes it challenging to trust him in fantasy.

After totaling 22 points in his first two games back from injury, Coward put up 24 on Saturday. This was his most productive game since December 30, when the rookie put up a season-high 28 points in an overtime loss to the 76ers. The Grizzlies play four games in Week 23, which they will conclude with a Sunday/Monday back-to-back. As long as he is available, Coward is capable of providing reliable fantasy value, especially if Jaylen Wells remains out.

Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a solid end to Week 22 for the MVP candidate, even with the poor shooting.

Castle had an up-and-down performance on Wednesday. He elevated his teammates by facilitating at a high level, but gave the opposition opportunities by committing five turnovers. And while he was extremely efficient from the floor, the second-year guard left almost a good chunk of points at the charity stripe. Castle ultimately came close to securing a double-double, despite some shortcomings in his 26 minutes of game action. However, there’s another level he’s shown capable of reaching, one fantasy managers are hoping to see in the thick of the fantasy playoffs.

Vassell had the hot hand on Wednesday, particularly from beyond the arc. His three-point production helped tie a team-high in points, while his activity on the glass put him within striking distance of a double-double. However, a one-sided contest ultimately limited Vassell to 26 minutes. Perhaps he’ll be able to carry his momentum over to Saturday’s game against the Bucks, when the Spurs try for their eighth consecutive win.

Wemby was stellar in his relatively limited minutes on Wednesday, as a 25-point win limited him to only 27 minutes. His time on the floor was productive, however, as he racked up another double-double while blocking all but two of his team’s nine shots. The former first-overall pick also added a few steals to combine for 10 stocks, the second time he’s done that this season. Wembanyama, regardless of minutes, is arguably as reliable a fantasy option as any. He’ll have a chance to put together another spectacular line on Saturday when the Spurs face the Bucks.

There was an injury scare during the first half, as the reigning Rookie of the Year took an inadvertent Jaime Jaquez Jr. knee to the head, but he returned to action after a short stint on the bench. And with the Spurs winning by 25 points, there was little need for the team to have Castle play starters’ minutes in his first game back. Harrison Barnes returned to the bench on Monday, finishing with 13 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and four three-pointers.
