Grimes will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Thunder, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports. With P.J. Washington (illness) sidelined, Grimes will join the starting five for the eighth time this season. Across seven starts, the 24-year-old has averaged 16.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 47.7 percent from beyond the arc in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Grimes is not starting Tuesday against the Grizzlies, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. The Mavericks will have Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Klay Thompson (foot) and Luka Doncic in the starting lineup, so Grimes will head back to the bench. That said, he's likely to see decent minutes with the second unit. He's scored in double digits in seven of his last 10 appearances, including three straight games with at least 20 points.

Grimes racked up 28 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and five steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 win over Portland. Grimes topped his season-high scoring mark for a third straight game, and this was the first time he reached the 25-point plateau all season long. Grimes got the start in the backcourt due to the absence of Kyrie Irving (shoulder), and with Klay Thompson (foot) and Naji Marshall (illness) being less than 100 percent healthy as well, Grimes could remain in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies. Grimes will remain a solid fantasy play in all formats as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

Grimes posted 24 points (9-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-6 FT), four rebounds and a block across 29 minutes in Saturday's 106-94 win over the Jazz. Grimes was coming off a 21-point, seven-rebound effort in the win over the Knicks on Nov. 27, and he reached a new season-high scoring mark with another efficient display. Grimes' fantasy value will be directly tied to Luka Doncic's return from a wrist injury. If Doncic isn't able to play against the Trail Blazers on Sunday on the second leg of a back-to-back, however, then expect Grimes to remain in the starting unit while experiencing a sizable uptick in his usage rate.

Grimes (illness) will suit up for Wednesday's tilt against the Knicks, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports. Grimes sat out Monday's win over the Hawks but will be back in the starting five Wednesday as Luka Doncic (wrist) remains shelved. In four starts this season, Grimes is averaging 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 28.3 minutes.
