Jaylen Wells

MEM Forward #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jaylen Wells added 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the win over the Clippers on Monday.

Wells was solid on the offensive end on Monday, connecting on half of his shot attempts while getting some production from the free-throw line. Yet, his effort defending the Clippers’ James Harden all night long was impressive and significant in limiting the former MVP’s production — Wells’ counting stats won’t tell the full story of just how impactful he was in this game. Nevertheless, he’ll have a chance to extend his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 10 games on Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
Cam Spencer

MEM Guard #24

Cam Spencer amassed 27 points (9-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and seven three-pointers against the Clippers on Monday.

Spencer set new career-highs in points and threes on Monday, helping him finish as the Grizzlies’ second leading scorer. He also made his usual contributions as a facilitator and continues to be one of the most productive guards off the bench in the NBA. Even with Ja Morant healthy and back in the lineup, Spencer has remained a productive fantasy player. He’s rostered in just 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues and can serve as a solid streaming option at the very least.
Jaren Jackson

MEM Forward-Center #8

Jaren Jackson Jr. totaled 31 points (13-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals, five blocks and four three-pointers in the win over the Clippers on Monday.

JJJ did it all for Memphis on Monday. Outstanding shooting led him to his first 30-point outing of the season and helped him to finish as the Grizzlies’ leading scorer on the evening. He was also dialed in from beyond the arc and was a monster on the defensive end of the floor. Altogether, his numbers led to an exceptional fantasy basketball performance. He’ll look to put together another strong showing on Wednesday against the Timberwolves.
Brandon Clarke

MEM Forward #15

Brandon Clarke (knee) won’t play against the Clippers on Monday.

Despite being ruled out, Clarke’s initial status as “doubtful” ahead of Monday’s game indicates that a return from knee surgery could be very near. Once he returns, he’ll have an opportunity to join the rotation quickly, as Zach Edey is set to miss multiple weeks with an ankle injury. The Grizzlies have won five of their last seven games and have a chance to earn their third win of the season over the Clippers.
John Konchar

MEM Guard #46

John Konchar (thumb) will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Konchar, who suffered a torn UCL in his left thumb during a December 7 game against the Trail Blazers, underwent surgery on Monday. With the timeline provided by the Grizzlies, he’s likely to be available at some point in January. Konchar’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball, even with Zach Edey (ankle) out for a few more weeks.
Brandon Clarke

MEM Forward #15

Brandon Clarke (knee) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

While the doubtful tag suggests that Clarke won’t be available on Monday, the fact that he has a chance to play is a step in the right direction. With Zach Edey (ankle) out for at least four weeks, there will be room for Clarke in the rotation once he’s able to play.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward amassed 17 points (7-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Jazz.

While Coward’s final stat line lacked defensive stats, the rookie did record his second double-double in three games and fifth of the season. Given how well he began the season, most fantasy managers understood that Coward’s production would cool down eventually. Over the past two weeks, he’s ranked just outside the top-200 in fantasy value. However, Coward still offers a higher ceiling than Jaylen Wells, who finished Friday’s defeat with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers.
Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7

Santi Aldama finished Friday’s loss to the Jazz with 22 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers.

Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo decided to go with Aldama to fill in for the injured Zach Edey on Friday, and his faith was rewarded. After scoring 22 points in Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers, the 7-footer hit that number again on Friday. Aldama finished with a complete stat line, and the production may be enough to keep him in the starting lineup moving forward. Jock Landale, who filled in for Edey to begin the season, played 27 minutes off the bench. He finished with eight points, nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers.
Cam Spencer

MEM Guard #24

Cam Spencer accounted for 20 points (6-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one block and six three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Jazz.

With Ja Morant back in the fold, how the point guard rotation would shake out behind him was a point of interest for deep-league fantasy managers. Spencer played 25 minutes off the bench and enjoyed the best shooting night of his NBA career, as he made a career-high six three-pointers without a miss. Vince Williams Jr., who was the starter when Morant was out, played 15 minutes and went scoreless (0-of-4 FGs) with three rebounds and one blocked shot. The chances of Spencer consistently shooting as well as he did on Friday are slim, but he still offers a higher ceiling than Williams when Morant is available.
Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12

Ja Morant (calf) tallied 21 points (7-of-20 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Jazz.

Friday’s game was the first for Morant since November 15, so his playing time was restricted. However, that did not prevent the point guard from showing off his elite athleticism at various points, including an impressive chasedown block of a Keyonte George layup attempt during the first half. Morant finished with his fourth double-double of the season, which helps compensate for the low field-goal percentage. Memphis is done for Week 8 and will open Week 9 on Monday against the Clippers.
