Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Ja Morant lit up the 76ers with 40 points (16-of-22 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in a 139-136 overtime loss on Tuesday.

Morant took over late in this game to help force overtime by scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter. He added six more in overtime, but it wasn’t enough for Memphis to get the win. Still, this was Morant’s best game of the season as he set a new season high for scoring. Morant’s main issue has been health, but if he can remain on the floor and stay this hot, fantasy managers should get a nice stretch from him.
Christian Koloko

MEM Center #35

Christian Koloko started on Tuesday and finished with three rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes against the 76ers.

For the first time this season, Koloko got the starting nod. This was only his fifth game with Memphis, and while he had taken on a larger role in recent games, he still played fewer minutes than Santi Aldama, who he replaced in the starting lineup. Aldama played 36 minutes off the bench and finished with 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and four blocks. Even if this lineup doesn’t change, Aldama will remain a standard league option.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 28 points (10-of-15 FGs), 16 rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers against the 76ers.

This was the sixth double-double of Coward’s rookie season, but this was better than the rest. He set career highs for both points and rebounds, though it wasn’t enough for Memphis to get the win. Coward has proven that he should be viewed as an elite asset in dynasty leagues and is already making an impact in redraft leagues as a rookie. This was an impressive performance for him, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Lakers on Friday.
Christian Koloko

MEM Center #35

Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Christian Koloko will start Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

Despite Santi Aldama and Jock Landale being available for Tuesday’s game, the Grizzlies have thrown fantasy managers a curveball. Koloko will start, conceivably to help keep the other Grizzlies bigs out of early foul trouble with Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid available. This is an excellent opportunity for Koloko, whose 10-day contract is winding down.
Jock Landale

MEM Center #31

Jock Landale (calf) is available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

Landale is available after missing two games with a strained right calf. His return means fewer minutes for Christian Koloko, who could fall out of the rotation entirely. Also, with Landale available, two-way contract player Olivier-Maxence Prosper is inactive.
Jock Landale

MEM Center #31

Jock Landale (calf) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

Landale has missed Memphis’ last two games with a strained right calf, opening up rotation minutes for Christian Koloko. While the playing time has been there, Koloko’s production has not been good enough to merit streaming. If Santi Aldama isn’t available on the waiver wire, fantasy managers should look to other teams for frontcourt help.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

MEM Guard #3

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is out for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

Caldwell-Pope was forced to leave Sunday’s loss to the Wizards after playing 11 minutes with a sore right hamstring. He won’t play on Tuesday, freeing up additional minutes for fellow reserve GG Jackson. Olivier-Maxence Prosper could also be in the rotation, but the Grizzlies may send him to their G League affiliate instead.
Vince Williams

MEM Guard #5

Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is out for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

Williams will miss a sixth consecutive game due to left patellar tendinitis. His absence has left Cam Spencer to handle the backup point guard duties, and he has been more valuable than Vince in fantasy leagues even when Ja Morant has been out.
Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7

Santi Aldama finished Sunday’s loss to the Wizards with 14 points (5-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, four steals and one three-pointer.

Already a solid fantasy option, Aldama’s ceiling has been raised recently due to injuries to Zach Edey and Jock Landale. Over the past week, he has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his season-long value by a few rounds. Aldama recorded his fourth double-double on Sunday, and the four steals were a season-high. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look in more 12-team formats, even with the Grizzlies playing three games in Week 11.
Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Ja Morant amassed 21 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven assists and three three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Wizards.

While the stat line did not include any rebounds, steals or blocked shots, what Morant did provide to fantasy managers was encouraging. The Grizzlies’ point guard was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, shooting 50 percent from the field and finishing with an assist-to-turnover ratio of over 2-to-1. Morant is still on a minutes restriction, and it’s unknown when that will change. However, he’s still capable of offering value despite not hitting 30 minutes.
