McDaniels injured his oblique Sunday against the Bucks and subsequently missed Tuesday’s win over the Knicks. The 25-year-old small forward is questionable to return against the Nuggets on Thursday. With McDaniels out Tuesday, Naz Reid and Bones Hyland each played 25 minutes off the bench.

Aldama returned to the starting lineup in this game and led Memphis to win. He set a new career high for threes and matched his career high for points, which he set three days prior to this game. A dud against the Thunder was sandwiched between two 37-point outings. Aldama continues to be a consistent producer for Memphis, which is helpful with how many injuries they have dealt with in the frontcourt. Aldama is available in 55 percent of Yahoo! leagues but should be considered a must-roster player at this point.

Spencer has started three straight games for Memphis and has enjoyed success as a playmaker. He is averaging 10.7 assists per game during this stretch, which includes two double-doubles and a new career high for assists in this one. He hasn’t shot the ball as well as he had been as a reserve, but he has played well as a starter. As long as Ja Morant (ankle) remains out, Spencer will be worth rostering.

Gobert continued his dominance on the glass, extending his streak of games with at least 12 rebounds to six. Add in the defensive stats and percentages, and this was an excellent night for the veteran center. Over the last two weeks, Gobert has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Continuing on that path would go a long way toward ensuring that Gobert’s season-long fantasy value aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (68).

While this wasn’t the first time that Randle has played against the Knicks since being traded before the start of last season, this was the first game in which he took over. The Timberwolves forward was outstanding in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. Randle didn’t attempt a three-pointer in the period, instead attacking the paint consistently. He’ll look to do more of the same against the Nuggets on Christmas Night.

The shorthanded Knicks failed to come up with an answer defensively for Edwards, whose 38 points were the most he’s scored since returning from the foot injury that sidelined him for three games. The Timberwolves star has been a top-20 player in eight and nine-cat formats, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down. Minnesota visits Denver on Christmas Day, and that could be another big night for Edwards.

Small has been sidelined since early November but will be available to provide much-needed depth in the backcourt. He likely won’t play big minutes, but with Ja Morant sidelined, he should see an opportunity off the bench behind Cam Spencer.

With Ja Morant and Vince Williams Jr. out due to injury, Spencer has been the Grizzlies’ starting point guard the last two games. After dishing out 11 assists in Saturday’s loss to the Wizards, the second-year guard tallied eight more on Monday. However, unlike Saturday, when he committed two turnovers, that category was an issue against the reigning champs. Spencer committed four on Monday, so the efficiency wasn’t as good as it could be. But that’s no reason for fantasy managers to hop off the bandwagon, especially with Spencer and the Grizzlies visiting Utah on Tuesday.

While his fantasy value has slipped since a hot start to the season, Coward had a productive night for category league managers on Monday. The six assists matched the rookie’s previous high, and managers can also benefit from the rebounds and three-pointers. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Coward has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Grizzlies conclude their road trip on Tuesday against the Jazz.

Caldwell-Pope’s five three-pointers were a season-high for the veteran guard, who also matched his high point total on Tuesday. While capable of providing a few three-pointers off the bench, that isn’t enough to make KCP a player worth rostering on most nights. Even with Monday’s showing, leave Caldwell-Pope on the waiver wire.

Already without Zach Edey, the Grizzlies lost Brandon Clarke to a strained calf during Saturday’s loss to the Wizards. As a result, Landale will make his first start since November 12. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues, while Santi Aldama will also have added value despite coming off the bench.

Mike Conley was moved into the lineup to start the third quarter, possibly a sign that he’ll start on Tuesday if McDaniels can’t go. However, Sunday’s game was Conley’s first since missing four games with a sore Achilles, so he may not go past 24 minutes.

Conley was active after missing four games with a sore Achilles, and the 24 minutes played may have been more than expected. And there was a good reason for the veteran guard to play more, as Jaden McDaniels exited during the first half with a hip injury. Conley started the third quarter, and while he didn’t do much scoring, the rebounds, assists and defensive stats were there. If McDaniels can’t play on Tuesday against the Knicks, Conley could be moved into the starting lineup. He would only be worth a look in deep leagues.

Goebrt has been a beast on the glass recently, grabbing at least 12 rebounds in five straight games. Sunday’s tally of 18 was the most in a game for the veteran center since October 26, when Gobert reached that number in a win over the Pacers. For managers either punting free-throw percentage or willing to take a hit in that category, Gobert has been a third-round player over the last two weeks.

Since going 0-of-6 from three in a December 8 loss to the Suns, DiVincenzo has made at least three three-pointers in five straight games. Sunday was the fourth in this run in which he’s made four, and the increased production has boosted his fantasy value. Over the last two weeks, DiVincenzo has been ranked just outside the top-75 in eight-cat formats. Depending on what happens with Jaden McDaniels, who left Sunday’s game with a hip injury, DiVincenzo would be worth a look in more leagues.

After scoring 26 points in his first game back on Friday, Edwards dropped another 24 on the Bucks. For the season, he’s providing top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, shooting nearly 49 percent from the field. On most nights, Edwards has been efficient as a scorer and playmaker, ensuring that there’s no gap in his value between eight- and nine-cat formats. The Timberwolves open a three-game Week 10 on Tuesday against the Knicks.

Aldama saw a massive uptick in usage with Brandon Clarke exiting this one after just a handful of minutes with a calf injury. The 24-year-old amassed a season-high 23 shot attempts and shot 65.2 percent from the floor, including knocking down 5-of-9 from three-point range. It would be unrealistic to expect him to go full supernova on a regular basis, but he’s a streaky scorer capable of lighting up opposing teams when he’s in a groove. He’ll see additional minutes next week if Clark winds up requiring an extended absence, especially since Zach Edey is still dealing with an ankle issue. The Grizzlies kick off a four-game week on Monday with a road matchup against a powerhouse Thunder before facing the Jazz and Bucks before a rematch against the Wizards.

Jackson has been one of the most impactful all-around threats in the fantasy landscape over the past week, averaging 27.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.7 blocks over his last three games. He’s scored at least 22 points in each of those contests and has eight blocks during that span. That’ll do.

Gobert has not always been part of the closing lineup this season, but his rebounding production has been consistent. He’s reached double digits in that category in four straight games, a stretch that includes two double-doubles.

Reid being part of the closing lineup has been a common occurrence this season, raising his fantasy ceiling in the process.

Category league managers who have Randle rostered took a beating in the field-goal percentage category, as he missed 12 of his 15 field-goal attempts. Getting to the foul line consistently boosted his point total, and the rebounds and assists were solid. Due mainly to his shooting 42.3 percent from the field, Randle is ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the last two weeks. He’ll look to end Week 9 on a high note when the Timberwolves host the Bucks on Sunday.

After a three-game absence, Edwards was back on the court on Friday, and he came through in crunch time. His three-pointer with 38.5 seconds remaining gave Minnesota a one-point lead, and the star guard would follow that by blocking a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander layup attempt six seconds later. The Timberwolves closed on an 8-0 run, handing the Thunder their third loss of the season. The good news for fantasy managers is that they should get one more game out of Edwards, as Minnesota hosts Milwaukee on Sunday.

That may have opened some things up for Wells offensively, and the second-year wing extended his streak of double-digit scoring games to 10.
