RecapTy Jerome went off for 27 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes to propel the Grizzlies to a 118-102 win over the Raptors on Monday.
Jerome has been an absolute scoring machine for Memphis, delivering at least 20 points in seven of nine contests this season. The 29-year-old point guard matched a season-high by knocking down five three-pointers while supplying his usual diet of driving layups and off-balance mid-range floaters. He’s significantly outperformed preseason expectations, delivering second-round fantasy value so far, averaging 26.7 points through his first nine games. He’s shown zero signs of slowing down and should continue to serve as the Grizzlies’ main offensive weapon.
