Jackson logged 24 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 loss to the Warriors.

Jackson finished Wednesday's game as the Grizzlies' leader in points and assists and was two rebounds shy from recording his first double-double of the season (and first since April 14, 2024). Jackson has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has connected on 57.6 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 21.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.2 blocks over 26.6 minutes per game.

Wiggins ended Wednesday's 124-116 loss to the Pistons with 20 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.

Wiggins saw just 17 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Toronto, but he got a spot-start in this one with Chet Holmgren (back) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) taking the night off and saw more shots falling his way with Isaiah Joe (glute) leaving the game early. Wiggins is capable of putting up quality stats when given the minutes, but his playing time has been inconsistent this season.

Jerome accumulated 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 loss to the Warriors.

Jerome ended the night with a flurry, scoring 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to finish as the Grizzlies' second-leading scorer behind GG Jackson (24 points). Jerome's 24 minutes of playing time were his most this season as he continues to ramp up his conditioning after missing the first half of the season due to a right calf strain. He is averaging 19.6 points, 5.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 21.0 minutes per game while connecting on 41.2 percent of his three-point attempts on 6.4 3PA/G this season.

Spencer totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 victory over Memphis.

Spencer was moved to the Warriors' bench after struggling in his most recent starts, and the move appeared to pay off as he finished one assist shy from recording his second double-double of the season. It's unclear whether his shift to the bench is permanent, but Wednesday's performance shows that the third-year pro can be productive in whatever role he's in, at least for as long as Stephen Curry (knee) is sidelined.

Allen generated 27 points (10-15 FG, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 118-116 loss to the Bucks.

Allen has now posted a double-double in nine of his last 10 games, and his 27 points were his third most during that stretch. The 27-year-old center had a shot to tie it at the end of regulation, but his bucket came just after the buzzer. During that 10-game stretch, Allen is averaging 22.0 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals over 29.2 minutes.

Podziemski finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 win over Memphis.

Podziemski was moved into the starting lineup Wednesday for the 20th time this season (and first since Feb. 3). The third-year pro responded by co-leading the Warriors in rebounds while finishing second in both assists and points. The Warriors' next game takes place Saturday against the Lakers, and it's unclear whether Podziemski will remain in the starting lineup if De'Anthony Melton (knee) is cleared to return.

Sengun generated 26 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and three blocks across 32 minutes of Wednesday's 128-97 win over Sacramento.

Sengun stuffed the stat sheet Wednesday night, notching his third triple-double of the season while also racking up five combined steals-plus-blocks. Although scoring efficiency hasn't been an issue for Sengun recently, he has been quiet as a scorer. Sengun averaged 15.0 points in the eight games leading up to Wednesday. He's averaging 20.5 points per game this season.

Richard totaled 21 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 victory over Memphis.

Richard had the opportunity to take on an expanded role Wednesday due to the absences of Stephen Curry (knee) and De'Anthony Melton (knee). Richard responded by leading the Warriors with a career-high 21 points and chipped in defensively with a team-high three swipes. It was the rookie second rounder's 16th start of the season (and first since Jan. 19), but he would likely revert to a bench role against the Lakers on Saturday if Melton is cleared to return.

Small amassed 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 loss to the Warriors.

The rookie second-rounder made his first NBA start Wednesday and put together a nice stat line, finishing as the Grizzlies' third-leading scorer behind GG Jackson (24 points) and Ty Jerome (22 points). Small has seen his minutes increase since late January, though it's unclear whether he'll remain in the starting lineup ahead of the likes of Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer for as long as Cedric Coward (knee) is sidelined.

Murray is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Boston due to illness.

Murray was considered probable due to hamstring tightness leading up to Wednesday's game. However, he left the contest in the first quarter because of an illness. While he's sidelined, look for Bruce Brown and KJ Simpson to see more playing time.
