Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Strong game in limited minutes
Rotowire
Jemison produced 10 points (5-6 FG), seven rebounds and one block across 19 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 106-102 victory over Brooklyn.
Jemison has started in his last three appearances for the Grizzlies, but it's also worth noting he hasn't played in four of the team's six games since the end of the All-Star break. The lack of an established role hurts his upside, though Jemison can be an effective two-way asset for the Grizzlies if given enough minutes. Until the minutes are there consistently, however, it's better to leave Jemison on the wire regardless of the format.

Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Best performance yet for Memphis
Rotowire
Jemison totaled 12 points (6-10 FG), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 loss to the Knicks.
In his fifth career NBA game and second career start, Jemison set personal bests in points and boards. The 24-year-old center is getting his opportunity thanks to injuries to Brandon Clarke (Achilles), Jaren Jackson (hip) and Xavier Tillman (knee), but what value Jemison has as a DFS punt play will evaporate quickly once the Grizzlies' frontcourt gets healthier.

Grizzlies' Trey Jemison: Blocks two shots as starter
Rotowire
Jemison racked up six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 23 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to Boston.
With Jaren Jackson (hip), Xavier Tillman (knee), Santi Aldama (lower body) and other frontcourt members sidelined, Jemison drew his first career start. Aside from the two blocks, Jemison's production was modest, and he played the fewest minutes of the eight Grizzlies who saw action versus Boston. If the aforementioned trio of centers remains sidelined, Jemison may get another 10-day deal from Memphis, but he doesn't need to be on fantasy radars yet.

Trey Jemison: Time up in Washington
Rotowire
Jemison's 10-day contract with the Wizards expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Washington will have the option of bringing Jemison back on a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the team intends to keep its 15-man roster spot open for the undrafted rookie center. With Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley ahead of him in the pecking order at center, Jemison was limited to a pair of one-minute appearances over his week-and-a-half-long stay with Washington. If Jemison isn't re-signed, he'll likely head back to the G League's Birmingham Squadron, with whom he had been playing prior to catching on with the Wizards on the 10-day deal.
