Sunday’s start was the second for Clayton since being traded to the Grizzlies, filling the void left by the injured Ty Jerome. While the rookie guard did not offer much value in the points category, he was on a roll setting up teammates. Not only were Clayton’s 15 assists a season-high, but this was also his first game reaching double digits in that category. And with Clayton recording four steals and two turnovers, those who slotted him into lineups had to be thrilled with the return.

The Grizzlies will once again be without Ty Jerome (thigh), so Pippen remains in the starting lineup. However, he will be joined in the backcourt by Clayton, who replaces Javon Small. Small is still active, so he should play rotation minutes off the bench alongside Cam Spencer.

Clayton is good to go after sitting out the last three games, including Friday’s win over the Jazz. However, with Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. available, there may not be enough minutes available for the rookie guard to affect fantasy basketball.

Clayton has missed the last three games with a right calf contusion. He at least has a chance to return Saturday given his questionable listing. Cam Spencer and Javon Small could see more minutes if Clayton is out again, though neither are worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Clayton will miss a third consecutive game with a right calf contusion. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it will mean more minutes for Cam Spencer and Javon Small since the Grizzlies are also without Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr.

Clayton missed Memphis’ final two games before the break with a right calf contusion, and he won’t be available for Friday’s game against the team that drafted him in June. With Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. also out, Javon Small will likely enter the Grizzlies’ rotation.

Clayton will miss a second consecutive game with a calf contusion. With Javon Small being sent to the G League, the Grizzlies will count on Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Cam Spencer to divide the point guard minutes.

Clayton suffered a right calf contusion during Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. If he’s available for Monday’s game, playing time will be challenging to come by. Ty Jerome, Cam Spencer and Scotty Pippen Jr. are all available, which may push Clayton out of the rotation entirely.

The 18th overall pick in last summer’s draft, Clayton did play rotation minutes for the Jazz this season. However, with Keyonte George making significant strides in terms of his ability to run a team and Isaiah Collier also in the fold, fantasy relevance was going to be incredibly difficult for the rookie to achieve. Depending on what the Grizzlies do with Ja Morant, either before the trade deadline or in the summer, Clayton could be an important piece as part of a rebuild if Memphis chooses that path. Based on Tuesday’s transaction, a complete rebuild may be the more likely option.

Calayton Jr. is enjoying a nice stretch to begin the new calendar year. Thursday’s solid performance gives him back-to-back games with double-digit points and four three-pointers. He logged north of 20 minutes in each of these games, which, notably, weren’t garbage-time minutes. The former national champion with the Florida Gators seems to be firmly in the nightly rotation at this point, with each productive performance likely helping him maintain his spot.

While the opportunities to provide fantasy-relevant value have been inconsistent, Clayton has shown the ability to step up when his name is called. The rookie didn’t miss a shot on Saturday, with the 17 points being three shy of his season-high. Clayton isn’t at the point where he can be relied on in redraft leagues, but there could come a time later in the season when that changes.

A double-digit scorer in three straight games, Clayton finished Sunday’s defeat with career-highs in points and assists. With Keyonte George (8/5/3/0/1) struggling and Isaiah Collier (one assist) only playing six minutes, it was Clayton’s show for most of the second half. The rookie guard had an encouraging effort, but it’s unlikely to mean much regarding his fantasy value in the short term. However, there may come a time later in the season when the Jazz look to feature Clayton more as the rebuild moves forward.
