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.

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. Given the defensive ability, Hendricks should not have any issues getting minutes the rest of the season. 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.

Given his general shot profile, Gobert not missing in a game isn’t all that surprising. He made all six of his attempts against the Magic while providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories, playing 33 minutes.

The Timberwolves play four games in Week 20, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday and the Clippers the following night.

Randle finished one rebound shy of a double-double on Saturday, but the final line felt underwhelming due to the point total. Averaging 21.5 points per game on the season, the Timberwolves forward has just one 20-point game since the All-Star break. The Timberwolves, and those who have him on their fantasy rosters, need more scoring from Randle.

Edwards put up a robust stat line on Saturday, but he didn’t get much help in the 119-92 defeat. Jaden McDaniels (three points, four rebounds, two assists and three steals) shot 0-of-9 from the field, and Donte DiVincenzo (two rebounds, four assists and one steal) went scoreless, missing all six of his attempts. Edwards and the Timberwolves won’t play again in Week 19, but they have four games in Week 20.

Anderson is out after being listed as questionable with right knee soreness.

Similarly, his absence will have minimal impact on fantasy basketball.

Reid exited Thursday’s game during the third quarter after injuring his right shoulder while scrambling for a loose ball with Toronto’s Sandro Mamukelashvili.

While Randle’s post-All-Star break struggles from beyond the arc continued on Thursday, as he missed both of his attempts, the veteran forward’s overall value has been better recently. Since the break, he’s shot 3-of-21 from distance, and Randle has struggled with that aspect of his game all season. However, the decreased three-point shooting has not done much damage, if any, to his overall fantasy value.

One game removed from grabbing a season-high 19 rebounds, Gobert was active in all facets on Thursday. The 18 points were three more than his total in Minnesota’s prior three games, and he’s hit double figures in rebounds in all six games that he’s played since the All-Star break. Also, Gobert matched his season-high with five assists. The offensive production can be a struggle at times, as the 7-foot-1 center can become an afterthought on that end of the floor. However, that doesn’t prevent Gobert from offering a solid return in other areas.

Edwards, who was added to the Timberwolves’ injury report early Thursday afternoon, seemingly took a step back offensively after a dominant showing in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies. Whether this was a matter of his right foot being an issue is tough to say, but the 12 shot attempts were the fewest in a game for Ant-Man since February 11 (ten vs. Portland). The good news for fantasy managers was that Edwards finished with a solid overall stat line that included him shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc.

This has Morant being re-evaluated around March 19, which means he will miss at least two months with this injury.

Because it was the team’s second game in as many nights, the Grizzlies played Wednesday’s game without Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. Those absences freed up a few more opportunities for Spencer, even if he was still used in a reserve role. The second-year guard’s seven assists were the most in a game for him since February 20, when Spencer dished out ten in a win over the Jazz. While Jerome, Pippen and Javon Small (11/7/5/2/1 with one three-pointer) may boast higher ceilings since they’ve been in the starting lineup when available, deep-league managers should not sleep on Spencer.

On the same day that he agreed to a multi-year contract that ensured he would be available for the rest of the season, Prosper recorded a solid stat line that only lacked a blocked shot.

While the playing time and production weren’t enough to make SloMo someone worth considering in fantasy leagues, his addition did extend Minnesota’s rotation to nine players.
