Small was one of Memphis’ most productive players on Thursday. He fell just one point and one assist shy of a 20/10 double-double, and also finished as one of the Grizzlies’ most reliable three-point shooters on the evening. The rookie guard is now averaging 16.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists over his last three games. He’ll have a chance to land another strong performance on Friday against the Pistons.

With Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. sitting out Monday’s game, Small made his fourth start of the season in Brooklyn. And this was his most productive game as a starter, with the final stat line only lacking a blocked shot. Like Rayan Rupert, Small is on a two-way deal, so he isn’t guaranteed to be active every night. However, he’ll be worth a roll of the dice on nights when Jerome and Pippen don’t play.

Small, the 48th overall pick in last June’s draft, made his first career start on Wednesday. And the Grizzlies’ guard had a good night, shooting 75 percent from the field and not committing any turnovers in his 28 minutes. Having appeared in 24 games, Small should have the space needed to avoid running up against the 50-game limit for two-way players before the end of the season. There are better options for fantasy managers, most notably Ty Jerome, but Small is worth watching for dynasty league managers seeking some value in deep leagues.

Jerome is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Kings, and his return pushes Cam Spencer to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Small, who steps in for Scotty Pippen Jr. Spencer and Pippen will still play quality minutes off the bench, but their fantasy values do take a hit.

Due to the Grizzlies being light on perimeter bodies, Saturday was a night where Small was able to get an extended runout. And the rookie guard took advantage of his time, shooting 70 percent from the field and providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Small played a lot of his minutes alongside Walter Clayton Jr. (8/4/7/3 in 28 minutes) in Memphis’ two games in Portland, and that may be the case moving forward on nights when the two-way guard is active. Small isn’t a must-roster player, but he may have moments when he’s worth streaming as the Grizzlies rebuild.

The second-round pick had a couple of strong outings in October but was then sidelined for a while with a toe injury. With Ja Morant (calf) sidelined, he has been able to fill out the backup point guard minutes. That hadn’t led to much production until this game. Small isn’t worth adding in redraft leagues as long as Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. are healthy, but he should be stashed in dynasty leagues.

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.

Small suffered a turf toe injury in his left foot while playing for the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate in early November and has not played since. The updated timeline provided by the team gives him a shot at playing in early January. Whether Small’s availability affects fantasy basketball depends on the availability of Ja Morant, Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. And with Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer being the point guard rotation with those three out, Small is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Small initially suffered a turf toe injury in his left foot in a November 8 G League game between the Memphis Hustle and Mexico City Capitanes and has not played since. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with starting point guard Ja Morant being healthy. Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. have shared the backup responsibilities, and that will remain the case until Ty Jerome returns from injury.

This will be a fourth straight absence for Small, but with Ja Morant healthy, Small’s role will be insignificant when he is healthy. Cam Spencer has been filling the reserve point guard minutes.

Small will miss another game due to a sore toe on his left foot, but his absence does not impact fantasy basketball. The Grizzlies’ point guard rotation will continue to consist of starter Ja Morant and reserve Cam Spencer.

Since Ja Morant and Cam Spencer are available, Small’s absence will not impact the Grizzlies’ rotation or fantasy basketball. He should already be on the waiver wire in all leagues.
