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.

Back in the Grizzlies’ lineup after a two-game absence, Aldama played 27 minutes on Monday. The production was solid, and he’s now reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. Jock Landale (personal) being away from the team could have raised Aldama’s fantasy ceiling, but the playing time did not receive a significant boost. That said, he should be rostered in standard leagues as long as the Grizzlies are without starting center Zach Edey (ankle).

Much-maligned for his lackluster rebounding production, Jackson has made strides in that area recently. Counting Monday’s line, this is the first time in nearly a month that the Grizzlies’ forward has grabbed at least six rebounds in three straight games. Add in the points and blocked shots, and fantasy managers received solid value from Jackson in his first game of Week 15. The Grizzlies play three more games this week.

After a two-game absence, Aldama is back on the court and is part of the Grizzlies’ starting lineup. His return coincides with Jock Landale being out for personal reasons. When available, both players are worth rostering because the Grizzlies are still without Zach Edey (ankle).

Aldama will play against the Rockets on Monday after a two-game absence. His return will give the Grizzlies a key scorer off the bench, as well as a capable rebounder and facilitator, as the team looks to put an end to their two-game losing streak.

Landale was questionable on Friday for personal reasons but ultimately took the court in that game and again on Sunday. He’ll be out for the second leg of Memphis’ back-to-back set, and with Santi Aldama (knee) questionable, the Grizzlies could be thin in the frontcourt. GG Jackson could be in line for a bump in playing time if Aldama is ruled out.

Sunday’s game will be the third that Aldama has missed with a sore right knee. Jock Landale started Friday’s loss to the Pelicans and had one of his best games of the season, tallying 24 points and 11 rebounds as part of a complete stat line. He’s worth streaming while Aldama is out.

Morant suffered a UCL sprain in his left (non-shooting) elbow during Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks. The injury is expected to sideline the 26-year-old point guard for at least the next three weeks, at which point he’ll be reevaluated. Cam Spencer started in Morant’s place Friday and had 21 points and 11 assists, making him a legitimate fantasy option while Morant is out.

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.

Landale was one of several productive Grizzlies on Friday. He scored well both inside and outside the arc while making a difference on the glass. As a result, the fifth-year center came away with a big double-double in his 32 minutes of game action. Landale has easily put together his best statistical season as an NBA player and has proven to be a nice fit alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. in the frontcourt. He’ll have a chance to land a third straight double-double on Friday against the Nuggets.

Despite some inefficient shooting, mostly beyond the arc, Jackson took advantage of the charity stripe and worked his way past the 25-point mark for the third time in January. The former Defensive Player of the Year also impacted the game as a shot blocker and used active hands to walk away from this one with five stocks. Additionally, Jackson reached double figures in rebounding for the first time this month, which resulted in his third double-double of the season. Friday served as a nice bounce-back performance for him.

Landale was a late addition to the injury report, but he will be able to suit up in this game. He has come off the bench during their last two games, but he has played significant minutes regardless, which should continue in this game.

Iisalo also said Jerome needs to “build up over the next week or two,” but he is “very close.” Jerome has yet to make his debut for Memphis after injuring his calf in the preseason finale. He still may not return until closer to the All-Star break, but he will eventually fill out some of the backcourt minutes for the Grizzlies. However, it seems likely that Ja Morant will remain with Memphis for the rest of the season, so there isn’t much upside for Jerome unless there is an injury in front of him.

Landale started Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, but his potential absence could open up more playing time for John Konchar, with GG Jackson potentially moving into the starting five. With Zach Edey and Santi Aldama both out, Memphis’ frontcourt rotation is razor thin.

Aldama will miss a second consecutive game due to soreness in his right knee. Jock Landale moved into the starting lineup for Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks and should retain that role. Due to the lack of frontcourt depth, Landale is worth streaming.

Due to a sprained UCL in his left (non-shooting) elbow, Morant will not play on Friday. Cam Spencer is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, but there have been times when Vince Williams Jr. received the nod instead. Regardless of who head coach Tuomas Iisalo decides to go with, Spencer offers a considerably higher fantasy upside.

Since grabbing 12 rebounds in a December 30 loss to the 76ers, Jackson has recorded six rebounds or more in three of his last nine appearances. That includes Wednesday’s six-rebound performance, one that was plagued by foul trouble. And the fouls weren’t limited to the defensive end of the floor, as there were a couple called due to illegal screens. Jackson has been a top-50 player over the past two weeks, and having Ja Morant on the floor should help, but the rebounding and fouls need to be cleaned up.

After six consecutive games of ten points or less, Wells snapped out of his slump on Wednesday. During that six-game run, the second-year guard shot 25.5 percent from the field, which obviously isn’t going to get it done for the Grizzlies or for fantasy managers. And Wednesday’s 18-point night occurred on a night when the guard shot 6-of-16 from the field. Wells is rostered in nine percent of Yahoo! leagues and with good reason, as the production has been inconsistent to put it kindly.

Playing stateside for the first time since January 2, Morant finished Wednesday’s defeat with his third double-double in as many appearances and eighth of the season. The Grizzlies’ point guard had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but his three-point attempt missed the mark. Morant did commit five turnovers, but that was the lone negative. Overall, he’s been very good in his first two games back from injury, a positive development for those who have Morant rostered.

The Grizzlies are without Santi Aldama for Wednesday’s game, as he has been sidelined by a knee injury. However, instead of starting a center (Jock Landale) alongside Jackson, the Grizzlies are going with Konchar. He can provide rebounding production, but should not be considered a must-stream player. And Memphis will need JJJ to step up as a rebounder, something that has rarely happened this season.

Aldama was downgraded to doubtful earlier Wednesday afternoon, so his absence is unsurprising. Jock Landale will likely return to the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. He’s worth streaming in that role.

Aldama’s looming absence should mean Jock Landale will return to the starting lineup. Landale scored 21 points off the bench in his last game out, and he’s averaged 11.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists across his last six starts.

The Grizzlies are back stateside after splitting two games in Europe with the Magic. Yet to miss a game this season, Aldama logged 25 minutes in Sunday’s win over Orlando. If he’s unable to play on Wednesday, Santi would likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Jock Landale.

Landale shifted to the bench in favor of Santi Aldama, but the latter delivered a pitiful 9/5/3 line with no defensive contributions. The points represent Landale’s second-highest total of the season, and he should remain active in Memphis’ rotation until Zach Edey (ankle) returns, whether as a starter or with the second unit.

Morant returned from a six-game injury and looked no worse for wear as he went off for 20 points, 10 dimes and four boards in the first half. Memphis cruised to victory in this one, and Morant could have had an even bigger night had this one been more competitive. The Grizzlies will travel home from their European road trip, and won’t play again until Wednesday. Morant’s status moving forward will remain in question as he’s been forced to miss significant time and his name is still on the trade block, but this was good to see for fantasy managers.

Morant will be available following a six-game absence, but it’s unclear if he’ll face a minutes restriction after a lengthy absence. Cam Spencer may retreat back to the bench, but given Morant’s recent availability and trade rumors, Spencer remains a hold.

Morant has missed Memphis’ last six games, but he is expected to be back to take on Orlando. Trade rumors continue to swirl, but for now, Morant should return to his place in the starting lineup, which will push Cam Spencer to the bench and eliminate most of his streaming appeal.
