While Spencer was in the Grizzlies’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, Jerome has missed the team’s last six games, counting Friday’s matchup with the Raptors. Memphis will lean heavily on Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr., with the former already in the starting lineup.

Spencer did well in his 18 minutes on the floor against Phoenix. He shot well and was particularly productive from the three-point line, while also finishing as one of Memphis’ best facilitators on the evening. The second-year guard has proven this season to be a productive player from a fantasy standpoint. Should he find a larger role in Year 3, he could potentially blossom into a must-roster player.

Spencer joins the opening unit for the Grizzlies on Monday, replacing the injured Javon Small (back). Mashack’s inclusion in the starting five also comes by way of injury — he’ll start on the wing in place of the injured Olivier-Maxence Prosper (shoulder). While the Grizzlies are out of playoff contention, they still offer some intriguing fantasy options, namely Cedric Coward and GG Jackson.

The absences of Spencer and Hendricks leave the Grizzlies down two players who have provided solid late-round value for most of the season. On the perimeter, Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr. will lead the way, and there may also be some more playmaking opportunities for Cedric Coward. As for the frontcourt, Hendricks’ absence makes the Grizzlies even more reliant on GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

While Spencer played 29 minutes off the bench and recorded a double-double in Friday’s loss to the Rockets, Gibson only played nine minutes. The former’s likely absence is far more impactful on fantasy basketball, as it would free up additional minutes for Javon Small. Small started Friday’s loss but played 25 minutes.

Spencer wasn’t the starter at point guard for this game, but he was certainly the most productive. This was his first double-double in over a month, and he was able to contribute value across the board. Unfortunately, while this was a strong outing, his role has been too inconsistent for him to be relied on. Managers should look in another direction for production, even if Spencer was solid in this game.

Spencer will be back following a one-game absence with back soreness. Ty Jerome (ankle) is sidelined, so Spencer could get the starting nod in his place, though he will at least see a bump in minutes off the bench, especially if Javon Small (back) is out.

Spencer was initially listed as doubtful with lower back soreness for Monday’s game against the Hawks, so his absence isn’t a surprise. Ty Jerome can absorb some of the vacated minutes with Spencer out.

Due to lower back soreness, Spencer is on track to miss Monday’s game. With Ty Jerome removed from the injury report, he can absorb the minutes that would have gone to Spencer. Also, Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr. will take on added importance within the rotation.

Spencer was back in the lineup after not playing on Thursday, playing 30 minutes as part of the Grizzlies’ starting backcourt. With Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) done for the season, Spencer has a higher fantasy ceiling moving forward, whether he starts or comes off the bench. Javon Small (23/3/3/2 with four three-pointers) qualifies as well, especially with the Grizzlies continuing to limit Ty Jerome’s minutes.

Spencer and Jerome were two of the numerous Grizzlies who sat out Thursday’s matchup with Dallas, but they should handle their typical workloads against Detroit. Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack could see fewer minutes with Spencer and Jerome available.

Spencer will join Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Walter Clayton Jr. on the sidelines for this game, leaving Javon Small as the only healthy point guard option for Memphis. He should play a massive role, which should lead to plenty of production.

Spencer is dealing with lower back soreness. With the Grizzlies having already ruled out Scotty Pippen Jr. and listed Ty Jerome as doubtful, Spencer should play major minutes if he’s available.

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.

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.

While he wasn’t the choice to step into the Grizzlies’ starting lineup for the injured Ty Jerome (thigh), that did not keep Spencer from having one of the best games of his NBA career. The second-year guard’s 25 points were two shy of his career-high, and he shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc. While Javon Small (7/4/5/2 with one three-pointer in 25 minutes) has been the subject of increased discussion within fantasy basketball due to his move into the starting lineup, don’t overlook Spencer. The Grizzlies visit the Pacers on Sunday in their final game of Week 18.

Spencer is off the injury report after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. With Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. also available, those who have been rostering Spencer should keep an eye on his minutes. Those two should be under minutes restrictions, so Cam may be fine, but that isn’t guaranteed.

Spencer was initially questionable with right ankle soreness and has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers. Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr. should fill in the vacated minutes, though neither of them are worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Spencer is dealing with a sore right ankle, casting some doubt on his availability for Saturday’s game. Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr. are available, and they can help absorb the available minutes if Spencer can’t play.

Spencer, once again, thrived off the bench. In 26 minutes, he led all Grizzlies in scoring on Friday, took advantage of his scoring opportunities with efficient shooting, and made an impact with his passing along the way. Spencer also collected a few stocks to conclude with another strong performance off the Grizzlies bench. He’ll look for a repeat performance on Saturday in a rematch against the Trail Blazers.

Spencer didn’t bring much to the table as a scorer on Monday, but he had the most productive night of his NBA career in the assist category. The second-year guard’s 14 assists were a career-high, and he committed just three turnovers. Spencer isn’t going to offer the scoring that Ja Morant brings to the table, but he is worth rostering as long as the Grizzlies’ starting point guard is out. Rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Spencer has been a seventh-round player over the past two weeks.

Spencer got the start on Friday and logged his best performance of January. The second-year guard only needed single-digit shot attempts to efficiently work his way past the 20-point mark as a scorer, and also finished as the only player on either team to record double-digit assists. The double-double marked the third one of January for Spencer, who is still looking to fully recapture the success he had earlier in the season. Nonetheless, he was productive on Friday and will have a chance to log another big game on Sunday against the Nuggets.

Spencer didn’t have a great day shooting the basketball, but he still offered excellent value in rebounds and assists. The second-year guard, who only committed one turnover, has hit double digits in assists in three consecutive games. With Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. all injured, and the former the subject of trade rumors, the point guard role belongs to Spencer for now. He’s worth rostering in deep leagues as long as Memphis is shorthanded on the perimeter.

Spencer drew the start at point guard in place of an injured Ja Morant (calf) and reached double-digit points for the third time in his last four games, while posting at least 11 helpers for the second straight contest. The unheralded 25-year-old guard has proven to be a capable scorer and facilitator for the injury-plagued Grizzlies but his fantasy appeal is limited to deeper leagues right now. He has been providing a ton of value in assists and free throw percentage so far.

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.
