Olivier-Maxence Prosper

With the Grizzlies exercising their option on his contract for the 2026-27 season, Prosper’s NBA future in the short term is far more secure than it was when he joined the franchise on a two-way deal last September. As a result, there may be opportunities for him to earn rotation minutes next season, especially with the Grizzlies moving Santi Aldama. Prosper shot 40.5 percent from three on 2.8 attempts per game last season, and he has been a more willing perimeter shooter this summer. If he can carry the progress into the 2026-27 campaign, there may be moments when O-Max is a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues.

Given the glut of power forwards on Memphis’ roster, especially after the team selected Cameron Boozer and Karim Lopez in last month’s draft, these summer games are critical for Prosper as he looks to lock down consistent rotation minutes. He shot a respectable 3-of-8 from beyond the arc on Monday and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. In a perfect world for the Grizzlies, Prosper will play well enough during the summer that the team will decide to shut him down while in Las Vegas.

The Grizzlies took a chance picking up O-Max last season, and he was able to provide solid value down the stretch. However, he is still fighting for a spot in the rotation after they exercised his option for the upcoming season. Memphis added Cameron Boozer and Karim Lopez in the draft, and Taylor Hendricks is still ahead of him on the depth chart. Still, this was a strong performance for him, though he’ll need to keep it up entering training camp and the preseason.

Prosper was initially questionable for Sunday’s game. Given how shorthanded the Grizzlies are, he should play significant minutes for the regular-season finale.

Prosper will miss a second consecutive game due to a sore right ankle. With Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson also out, Toby Okani will have to play heavy minutes once again. He played 33 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, and that was with Hendricks available. Taj Gibson is available, but he played just five minutes on Wednesday.

Prosper did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets and appears likely to miss a second consecutive game on Friday. With Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson already out, the Grizzlies are likely to play Toby Okani heavy minutes. Taj Gibson is available, but he played just five minutes on Wednesday.

Initially doubtful, Prosper is out for Wednesday’s game. Taylor Hendricks and Toby Okani are likely to play heavy minutes, as the Grizzlies are light on options in the frontcourt.

Prosper, who scored 24 points in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers, is on track to miss Wednesday’s game. With GG Jackson already out, the Grizzlies will lean heavily on Taylor Hendricks and Toby Okani in the frontcourt, and there may also be rotation minutes available to Taj Gibson.

Prosper was the highest-scoring Grizzlies player on Monday, with all of his points coming from field goals. He only missed two shots and was red-hot from beyond the arc to efficiently make his way past the 20-point mark. Prosper didn’t contribute in many other areas, which was the story of his season from a fantasy standpoint — he didn’t provide much value aside from inconsistent scoring.

Prosper is available after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Raptors. Taylor Hendricks filled the result void in the starting lineup and should remain there since the Grizzlies are unlikely to have GG Jackson (knee).

Initially doubtful, Prosper is now out for Friday’s game. Taylor Hendricks is available and should slide into the Grizzlies’ starting lineup without fuss. He is worth slotting into fantasy lineups because of the available playing time and the Grizzlies’ lack of frontcourt depth.

Prosper, who has performed well since moving into the Grizzlies’ starting lineup, is on track to miss Friday’s game. Most, if not all, of the minutes he was playing will go to Taylor Hendricks, who’s back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks.

Like GG Jackson, Prosper has been asked to play out of position due to the Grizzlies’ many injuries. He had a good night against the Knicks, shooting good percentages from the field and the foul line while recording a complete stat line. As long as he’s available, Prosper is worth rostering. The Grizzlies’ forward is rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues going into Memphis’ final two games of Week 23.

O-Max will be back following a one-game absence. With Taylor Hendricks (thumb) listed as doubtful, Prosper should fill the void in the starting unit. Prosper has started every game since Feb. 21.

Prospoer is one of several Grizzlies ruled out for Monday’s contest. The third-year forward has started games for Memphis lately and is playing well, scoring 31 points against the Rockets on Friday. With him unavailable on Monday, Adama Bal could see an uptick in playing time and opportunities against the Suns.

Prosper’s availability is far more consequential for fantasy managers, as he has been a consistent presence in the Grizzlies’ starting lineup. Taylor Hendricks is off the injury report for Monday’s game, and he can slide into the spot in the starting lineup that’s usually occupied by Prosper. As for Gibson, his absence would not affect fantasy basketball or the Grizzlies’ rotation.

Prosper came up big in the second half of this game, scoring 26 of his 31 points after the break. The 2023 first-round pick never figured things out in Dallas, but he has taken advantage of his second chance in Memphis. He has had multiple strong performances since becoming a consistent part of the rotation in Memphis, and he has been locked in as a starter since late February. He should continue to be a solid streaming option as the season comes to a close.

Prosper’s strength on Wednesday was his three-point shooting; he tied a team high with makes, propelling him to the second-highest scoring total on the team. He grabbed a handful of rebounds but didn’t contribute to many other areas during his 25 minutes on the floor. Still, he was one of the Grizzlies’ top performers, and has now scored in double figures 11 times in March.

On the same day that he agreed to a multi-year contract that ensured he would be available for the rest of the season, Prosper recorded a solid stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. Given how shorthanded the Grizzlies are in the frontcourt, O-Max should play plenty the rest of the season, even if he’s being used out of position. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Prosper has been close to a top-100 player since the All-Star break.

The 2023 first-round pick wasn’t able to find his footing in Dallas, but he has played well enough to earn a full contract with Memphis. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. O-Max has benefited from numerous injuries and trades, so he likely won’t make much of a fantasy impact next season. However, he’ll hold some value during silly season over the final month of the year.
