While he struggled shooting the basketball, Spencer hit double digits in assists for the third time this season. The 11 helpers were two shy of his career-high, as he continues to offer solid fantasy value as Ja Morant’s replacement in the starting lineup. Vince Williams Jr. had a good night off the bench, tallying 13 points, three rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in 23 minutes. Until Morant is healthy enough to play, Spencer and Williams will handle the point guard duties.

This was a third straight start for Spencer. The first was rough for him as a shooter, but he has been worth streaming in the role with averages of 13.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.3 triples over the last three games. Spencer was excellent for most of December as well, and if Ja Morant (calf) remains out against the Thunder on Friday, Spencer will have upside as a streaming option.

Spencer stepped up as the Grizzlies go-to option down the home stretch with Ja Morant sitting out with a right calf contusion as he knocked down a clutch three-pointer and a step back jumper in the final two minutes to put Memphis ahead for good. The 25-year-old guard, who came a couple boards and helpers away from a triple-double in this one, has been hit-or-miss from a scoring standpoint but he should continue to see plenty of minutes, even if he ends up splitting time with Vince Williams, on a Memphis squad that is dealing with an avalanche of injuries.

While Spencer has usually been a reliable option for deep-league fantasy managers this season, Sunday was not one of those nights. The positive was that he dished out a team-high nine assists. Unfortunately, Spencer could not find his shot. He missed all five of his three-point attempts and was 1-of-10 from the field overall. However, if Ja Morant (calf) remains out, there should be another start for Spencer on Tuesday against the Spurs.

The Grizzlies have made two changes to their starting lineup, one due to injury. Ja Morant (calf) is out, opening up a spot for Spencer at the point guard position. The other change is Landale, who steps in for Christian Koloko.

Spencer made the most of his opportunities on Friday. On low volume, he shot the ball well, especially from beyond the arc, consistently got to the free-throw line, and made contributions as a facilitator in his 25 minutes of game action. Spencer has been one of the more fun and productive bench players this season. He’s now reached double figures in scoring in 14 straight games — he’ll have a chance to extend his streak to 15 on Sunday against the Wizards.

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.

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.

Spencer set new career-highs in points and threes on Monday, helping him finish as the Grizzlies’ second leading scorer. He also made his usual contributions as a facilitator and continues to be one of the most productive guards off the bench in the NBA. Even with Ja Morant healthy and back in the lineup, Spencer has remained a productive fantasy player. He’s rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues and can serve as a solid streaming option at the very least.

With Ja Morant back in the fold, how the point guard rotation would shake out behind him was a point of interest for deep-league fantasy managers. Spencer played 25 minutes off the bench and enjoyed the best shooting night of his NBA career, as he made a career-high six three-pointers without a miss. Vince Williams Jr., who was the starter when Morant was out, played 15 minutes and went scoreless (0-of-4 FGs) with three rebounds and one blocked shot. The chances of Spencer consistently shooting as well as he did on Friday are slim, but he still offers a higher ceiling than Williams when Morant is available.

Spencer was one of several Grizzlies to produce off the bench on Friday in the win. In 29 minutes, he led all Grizzlies in assists and relied heavily on the three-point shot to finish as one of the team’s top scorers on the evening. The second-year guard out of UConn continues to be one of the NBA’s more productive scorers off the bench in recent weeks. He’s now scored in double figures seven straight times and remains a key contributor to Memphis’ recent strong play.

With all the backcourt injuries in Memphis, the 2024 second-round pick has been able to have a solid season as a reserve. With Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. all sidelined, Spencer has stepped up as a scorer as of late. 21 points were a new season high, and he has scored in double figures in six straight games. Spencer has been shooting the ball at an unsustainable rate, but he should have streaming appeal in deeper formats as long as Morant is sidelined.

While starting point guard Vince Williams Jr. has enjoyed some high-assist nights since filling in for the injured Ja Morant, it has been a struggle for him scoring-wise. That’s where Spencer can be of service to the Grizzlies, and he extended his double-digit scoring streak to five games on Sunday. Williams (2/2/7/1) missed all eight of his shot attempts in Sacramento, but it didn’t do much damage to the Grizzlies thanks to Spencer and five other players scoring in double figures. Spencer isn’t a must-roster player, but he’ll have some value in deep leagues.

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.

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.

Starting point guard Ja Morant is serving a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Spencer will fill the void, making the second start of his NBA career. With the Grizzlies also being without Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr., Spencer is worth the streaming risk in deeper leagues.

Spencer has been fantastic this summer, averaging 18.4 points and 3.2 three-pointers per game. He also agreed to a four-year, $10.5 million on Monday after initially agreeing to a two-year extension in June. He should be a reliable depth piece for them this season, but he won’t get the chance to score as much as he has during summer league. Still, it’s encouraging to see him dominate the way he has.

Spencer agreed to a two-year, $4.5 million, fully guaranteed deal at the end of June. Instead, he will get four years, $10.5 million with three years guaranteed. It’s a nice payday for the former second-round pick, who had looked good in Utah early in Summer League action.

Spencer got hot early in this game, knocking down three three-pointers rather quickly. He didn’t maintain that pace, but he was still a threat from deep throughout the night. It was a big night for Spencer after he scored 14 points with five rebounds and five assists on Saturday. He signed a two-year deal to remain with Memphis when free agency opened.

The 53rd overall pick in the 2024 draft, Spencer took on a limited role during his rookie season in Memphis. However, he did enough to earn a two-year deal that will be fully guaranteed. In 25 games, Spencer averaged 4.2 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 10.1 minutes. Spencer was a non-factor in fantasy basketball on most nights, but there were occasions when he was worth streaming. Memphis’ regular season finale was one of those instances, as he went off for 23 points, seven assists and five three-pointers in a win over Dallas.

Spencer was one of three Grizzlies to finish Sunday’s blowout with new career-high point totals, with Lamar Stevens and Jay Huff being the others. The second-round pick out of UConn did not have the best field-goal percentage, but the assists, steals and three-pointers will help compensate for that. Spencer is unlikely to factor into the Grizzlies’ post-season rotation. Play for Memphis begins on Tuesday against the Warriors in the play-in tournament.

The Grizzlies have rested their entire starting five and a few key reserves for Sunday’s game, as they’re locked into Tuesday’s 7 vs. 8 matchup in the play-in tournament. Of the five starters, Williams and Jackson offer the highest ceilings for active fantasy leagues, but Stevens, Bagley and Spencer are worth a look in deeper formats.
