Harper will return following a 10-day absence, though it’s unclear if he’ll face any restrictions in his first game back. De’Aaron Fox should continue to lead the backcourt, but Harper could see big minutes until Steph Castle (hip) returns. Harper could steal some offensive usage from Harrison Barnes.

Harper has not appeared in a game since November 2. With Stephon Castle (hip) out, the rookie returning to action would give the Spurs a welcome boost on the perimeter. However, there’s likely to be a minutes restriction attached if Harper plays on Wednesday, so don’t expect too much immediately in terms of production.

Edey suffered a head injury during the first quarter, departing after six minutes of action. His presence at practice on Tuesday is a positive development, but it does not guarantee the 7-foot-4 center’s availability for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans. If Edey can’t play, Jock Landale will be the next man up at center.

Monday was a big night for Wells on the offensive end of the floor. Not only was this his first 20-point game of the season, but it was the seventh in which the second-year wing hit double figures. With Ja Morant out and Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey also dealing with injuries, this is a spot where Wells will need to provide more on the offensive end of the floor. The consistency hasn’t been there, which is why he’s rostered in just nine percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Back in action after a two-game absence, Jackson struggled with his perimeter shot on Monday. The Grizzlies’ forward/center was 1-of-8 from beyond the arc, but that wasn’t the most disappointing part of his night. Jackson did not record any defensive stats, and those categories are crucial for a mediocre rebounder like him. JJJ exceeded his season average in rebounds on Monday, but the 5.3 per game would be the lowest mark for him since the 2019-20 season (4.6).

Landale began the season as Memphis’ starting center due to Zach Edey’s recovery from ankle surgery. And a return to the lineup may be in the cards following Tuesday’s defeat. Edey took a shot to the head during the first quarter and did not return, leaving Landale to fill the void. The veteran center finished with the first 20/10 game of his NBA career, and the 26 points matched his career-high. With the Grizzlies being one of the few teams that play four games during Week 6, Landale will be a valuable option if Edey misses time.

Edey took a shot to the head during the first quarter of Monday’s game, exiting after playing just six minutes. With the 7-foot-4 center unlikely to return, the Grizzlies will rely on Jock Landale and Santi Aldama to absorb the minutes that would have gone to Edey. Aldama offers a higher fantasy ceiling, but Landale would be the starter if Edey misses time beyond Monday.

Jackson will return to the lineup after missing the last two games. His return could send Santi Aldama back to the bench for a Grizzlies team that is riding a multiple-game winning streak for the first time all season.

A fixture in the Spurs’ starting lineup since Stephon Castle was lost to a hip injury, Champagnie struggled with his shot on Sunday. He was 2-of-9 from beyond the arc, dropping to 9-of-24 over the last three games. The good news for the few managers streaming Champagnie is that he recorded his first double-double of the season, leading all players with 12 rebounds. Those looking for someone capable of compensating for Castle’s absence are better off with Keldon Johnson, even with his issues in category league formats. He finished Sunday’s defeat with 14 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 24 minutes.

After a slow start to the season, Vassell has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats over the past week. While losing Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle wasn’t optimal for the Spurs, those absences may have helped unlock Vassell. We’ll see if that lasts once the Spurs return to full strength, but fantasy managers certainly aren’t complaining right now.

Since the Spurs lost Victor Wembanyama to a calf injury, Fox has scored at least 26 points in four straight games. He’s been a third-round player in nine-cat formats during this stretch, providing value that exceeds his Yahoo! ADP (42). Of course, Fox’s ADP was impacted by the hamstring injury that kept him out to begin the season. But he’s well-positioned to provide excellent value moving forward, even after Wembanyama and Stephon Castle return to the lineup. The Spurs play three games in Week 6, starting with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Landale exited Saturday’s win over the Mavericks during the first half with a sore neck and did not return. However, he’s off the injury report for Monday’s matchup with the Denver.

One game removed from recording a career-high 15 assists, Williams posted his first double-double of the season on Saturday. Due to Ja Morant’s injuries, Williams has started four of Memphis’ last five games. During this stretch, he’s only been a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats according to Basketball Monster. While that isn’t impressive, the opportunity is what makes Williams worth the streaming risk in deep leagues.

Despite only having three official field-goal attempts, Edey notched his first double-double in four appearances this season. Over the past week, the 7-foot-4 center has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, well above his Yahoo! ADP of 118. Expecting Edey to maintain this value for the entire season may not be realistic, as the Grizzlies have been without Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. However, a top-100 season feels like the minimum expectation for a post player of his skill level.

Spencer hit double figures for the second time in three games on Saturday, with the 17 points being two shy of his season-high. Despite coming off the bench, the second-year guard out of UConn could potentially have some deep-league value as Ja Morant (calf) remains out. Vince Williams Jr. is the preferred streaming target since he’s starting, but Spencer isn’t a terrible consolation prize, especially with the Grizzlies playing four games in Week 6.

After a quiet first half in which he scored six points, Aldama stepped up after halftime. He scored 14 second-half points, combining with guard Cam Spencer to push the Grizzlies over the finish line. In two starts for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr., Aldama has scored 49 points on 20-of-35 shooting from the field, recording complete stat lines in both outings. With the Grizzlies playing four games in Week 6, starting with the Nuggets on Monday, it would be a good idea to add Aldama, given the injuries Jackson and Jock Landale (neck) are dealing with.

Landale played five minutes in the first half before being shut down due to neck soreness. Shooting 3-of-6 from the field, he finished with seven points, one rebound, one assist and one three-pointer. Landale’s exit won’t affect the starting lineup, but it will further deplete the Grizzlies’ frontcourt depth. Memphis may have to stagger Zach Edey and Santi Aldama’s minutes, with Olivier-Maxence Prosper picking up additional minutes off the bench.

Jackson did not play in Thursday’s win over the Kings, which resulted in Santi Aldama moving into the starting lineup. Aldama went off for 29 points and should be rostered in 12-team leagues whenever Jackson is unavailable. With JJJ considered doubtful, Saturday could be another big day for Aldama.

Given his career track record in fantasy basketball, it would be understandable if some fantasy managers overlooked Johnson in seeking alternatives with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle unavailable. However, he’s hit double figures in three straight, with Thursday’s performance being one of Johnson’s best this season. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past week.

Fox has scored at least 24 points in four straight games, the last three being played without Victor Wembanyama. The absences of Wemby and Stephon Castle put Fox in a position to provide added fantasy value, and he’s been up to the task. During this four-game stretch, he has been a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Spurs end Week 5 with a game in Phoenix on Sunday.

Limited to nine points in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies, Champagnie was much better in his second start for the injured Stephon Castle. He notched his second 20-point game of the season, finishing two shy of his season-high. While Champagnie has only been a 10th-round player over the past two weeks, he boasts a higher ceiling now that he’s in the starting lineup. He’s worth considering in deep leagues, especially for managers needing three-pointers.

With Zach Edey (16/4/0/2 with one three-pointer) operating in his usual role as the starting center, Landale’s opportunities can be limited. However, he made the most of his 15 minutes on Thursday, scoring a season-high 21 points and grabbing six rebounds. This performance isn’t enough to make Landale a player worth rostering, but it’s a reminder that his fantasy ceiling is higher when Edey is unavailable.

Regarding fantasy value, Coward has been one of the most productive rookies in the NBA. While his value has taken a slight hit recently due to a dip in defensive production, the rookie guard continues to provide solid offensive value. With Ja Morant sidelined, there’s more room for Coward to “spread his wings” offensively. He was efficient on Thursday, scoring 19 points for the second consecutive game. He should be rostered in more than 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues, as he currently is.

Already playing without Ja Morant, the Grizzlies did not have Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) for Thursday’s game. No need for concern, apparently, as Aldama was ready to fill the void.

Jackson is listed as doubtful with a right ankle sprain. The 26-year-old power forward isn’t expected to play, leaving the Grizzlies potentially without one of their best players.

Santi Aldama could move into the starting lineup if Jackson is out on Thursday.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Memphis since losing Ja Morant to a strained calf, and Williams was head coach Tuomas Iisalo’s pick to move into the starting lineup. Result aside, this was a good night for the former second-round pick, who finished two rebounds and one assist shy of a triple-double. Williams only committed one turnover in his 30 minutes, which is especially concerning. On the heels of this performance, he’s worth picking up in deep leagues.

With Ja Morant (calf) out for at least two weeks, Spencer is one of the Grizzlies who will be asked to pick up the slack. The second-year guard had a good night in San Antonio, shooting 60 percent from the field and dishing out three assists. Spencer’s 24 minutes were the second-most among the Grizzlies’ reserves, which bodes well for his deep-league streaming potential. While he isn’t a must-add, keep an eye on Spencer.

Jackson had a decent night scoring-wise, but the lack of defensive stats is concerning for a player who has been a mediocre rebounder. Counting Tuesday, he’s averaging 1.3 blocks per game, and this would be the third straight season in which JJJ has averaged fewer than two if that were to hold. Not only has his value in redraft leagues been disappointing so far, but dynasty managers can’t be thrilled with Jackson, either.

Coward struggled in the first half, scoring just three points. The rookie was far better after halftime, finishing with his third double-double. Coward has hit double figures in scoring in six straight games, and he’s still providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. He did not do much outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers on Tuesday, but the ability to change that is there with Ja Morant out for at least two weeks.

While Vassell did not shoot well on Tuesday, the assists and defensive stats are what should be the focus. With Stephon Castle (hip) out for at least one to two weeks, there should be more opportunities for Vassell to serve as a primary playmaker.

Two days removed from recording his first double-double of the season, Johnson stepped up with another solid outing in the second game the Spurs have played since losing Victor Wembanyama to a calf strain. He hasn’t been the best category league option for most of his NBA career, but Johnson may be worth a look with Wemby and Stephon Castle unavailable. However, one can’t blame those who may want to see more before committing, as Keldon is ranked just outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. He’s rostered in just 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he won’t be hard to find on waiver wires.

If the Spurs were searching for a closer with Victor Wembanyama out, Barnes stepped up to fill the void on Tuesday. With the Spurs trailing by a point with just over three minutes remaining, the veteran forward went on a personal 7-0 run to reclaim control of the game. Keldon Johnson and De’Aaron Fox would score baskets to cap the victory, but Barnes’ performance is what won the game. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s scored 20 points or more in two straight games. Barnes is providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats and is worth a roll of the dice with Wembanyama unavailable.

After a subpar first half in which he scored four points, Fox flipped the switch after halftime. He scored 22 in the second half, the final two coming on a windmill dunk that capped a game-ending 11-0 run.

If he can build on Tuesday’s second-half performance, those who have Fox rostered will be in a great spot.

Castle, who was injured during the first half of Sunday’s win over the Kings, has been diagnosed with a left hip flexor strain.

Wembanyama is dealing with a left calf strain, according to Charania, and will miss the next few weeks. This is a major blow to the Spurs and fantasy teams with the 21-year-old big man.

He was third in scoring for the Spurs behind Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, with most of his points coming from behind the three-point line.
