    Grizzlies' Jahmai Mashack: Rare appearance Wednesday

    Mashack closed Wednesday's 129-125 win over the Kings with two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 23 minutes.

    Mashack appeared for the first time in the past 12 games, logging a career-high 23 minutes in the process. Memphis appears to be headed for a rebuild, potentially opening up playing time for a multitude of young pieces. While we aren't running to add Maskack, he is someone to keep an eye on moving forward.

  • Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Across the board production

    Jackson finished Wednesday's 129-125 win over the Kings with 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes.

    Jackson chipped in across the board, turning in another encouraging performance. He has now scored double digits in six of the past seven games, taking advantage of the fact that it appears as though Memphis is ready to tear it down. During that seven-game period, Jackson has averaged 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

  • Ty Jerome SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Dominates in victory

    Jerome amassed 28 points (10-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 win over Sacramento.

    Jerome turned in another masterful performance, continuing to put up ridiculous numbers despite playing just 21 minutes. In three games since returning from injury, he has averaged 22.3 points, 7.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers, flirting with first-round value in standard leagues. While he is clearly a must-roster player, managers could certainly consider moving him, given that the Grizzlies should start to get healthy bodies back on the floor in the near future.

  • Spurs' Jordan McLaughlin: Muted role continues

    McLaughlin amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 win over Oklahoma City.

    McLaughlin continues to play a minor role for the Spurs, barely noticeable on most nights. In fact, this was just the fifth time all season that he played double-digit minutes. In 22 appearances, he has averaged just 2.0 points in 6.0 minutes per game, barely making him a top 400 player for the season.

  • Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Modest effort Wednesday

    Champagnie finished with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 win over the Thunder.

    Champagnie produced another passive performance, scoring fewer than 15 points for the fifth straight game. Since the return of Devin Vassell from injury, Champagnie has seen his overall value take a hit, averaging 10.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers in six appearances over the past two weeks. Moving forward, managers should consider him a stream-level player for anyone seeking a boost in perimeter production.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Grabs 15 boards in loss

    Kornet chipped in four points (2-7 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 victory over the Thunder.

    Kornet recorded a team-high 15 rebounds, the most he has pulled down in any game this season. While the boards were a real positive, he was limited to just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played in his past five games. As long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, Kornet should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming consideration for anyone needing blocks and rebounds.

  • Thunder's Chris Youngblood: Logs season-high 20 minutes

    Youngblood ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

    Youngblood played double-digit minutes for the first time this season, called upon to do more after Oklahoma City ruled out a number of players earlier in the day. Given his season averages of just 2.0 points in 5.4 minutes, there is no need to make any roster moves in fantasy based on this effort.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Goes for 24-and-12

    Williams totaled 24 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

    Williams recorded his second double-double of the season, a reminder of what he is capable of when afforded starter-level minutes. Oklahoma City was without a number of its regular rotation players, resulting in heavy minutes for players like Williams. Despite this performance, fantasy managers don't need to overreact, given the Thunder could get multiple players back as soon as Saturday.

  • Thunder's Kenrich Williams: Season-high 25 points

    Williams registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Spurs.

    Williams made the most of his opportunity, falling one rebound short of a double-double, including a season-high 25 points. With Oklahoma City opting to rest a number of its stars, Williams was one of many players to step up. While this was certainly a strong performance, production like this shouldn't be expected moving forward.

  • Dalen Terry SF | PHI

    Knicks' Dalen Terry: Traded to New York

    The Bulls traded Terry to the Knicks on Wednesday in exchange for Guerschon Yabusele, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Terry's stint in Chicago will end after three-plus seasons. The versatile 23-year-old wing will get a fresh start with the Knicks after appearing in 34 games and averaging 3.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 11.1 minutes with the Bulls this season. He'll likely be competing with Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara for minutes off the bench.
