Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Productive again Monday
Rotowire
Prosper ended with 17 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 123-114 loss to the Kings.
Prosper continues to play well, having now put up top-45 value in four appearances over the past two weeks. During that span, he has averaged 15.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 0.8 three-pointers, shooting 72.2 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the line. It seems as though Memphis is going to be comfortable throwing any number of players out there on a nightly basis, with around 26 minutes being the average limit for them. Keeping this in mind, Prosper is someone to at least consider picking up, just to see if he can maintain his current momentum.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Returns with 14 points
Rotowire
Prosper accumulated 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.
The Nuggets will face a tough decision regarding Prosper, as he is available for only 12 more games under his current contract. The team may take their chances and use that allotment until Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is back, or they could send Prosper back to the G League to save him for the final month. Due to the uncertainty surrounding his nightly status, he's a risky fantasy prospect.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Inactive for Monday's loss
Rotowire
Prosper (two-way) was inactive for Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.
Prosper had logged double-digit minutes in each of the Grizzlies' previous eight games, but Memphis elected to keep him inactive Monday, despite five players being ruled out with injuries and 10-day signee Lawson Lovering having yet to join the team. The Grizzlies likely decided to hold Prosper out in order to manage his availability; the two-way player has already suited up for 37 games with Memphis this season, meaning that he can be active for just 13 more contests before he would need to be converted to a standard deal to be eligible to play at the NBA level. With that in mind, expect Prosper's appearances to be somewhat sporadic moving forward, especially as the Memphis frontcourt gradually gets strengthened by the returns of Santi Aldama (knee), Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) from injury.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Slides back to bench
Rotowire
Prosper isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Portland.
The Grizzlies have been severely shorthanded in the frontcourt recently, and it was Prosper who was called upon to serve as the team's starting center last time out. However, Kyle Anderson is available Saturday night, and the veteran forward will take over center duties from Prosper. Given the Grizzlies' sheer lack of bodies, expect Prosper to see significant run off the bench.
Prosper will start against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
The 23-year-old forward will get the starting nod for the first time this season due to Santi Aldama (knee) being sidelined. Over his last five outings, Prosper has averaged 6.0 points and 3.8 rebounds across 17.2 minutes per contest.
Prosper logged eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.
Prosper was back in the rotation after having sat out the previous four games. This came out of nowhere, especially the fact that he logged 26 minutes, matching his season high. Given he has not been an every-night part of the rotation, it's hard to envisage a world where Prosper should be considered a viable fantasy asset, particularly in moderate to shallow leagues.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Prosper (quadriceps) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Prosper was unavailable for Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to a quadriceps issue, but he is set to play Tuesday. The forward has averaged 8.4 minutes per game over nine appearances in 2025-26, so he's not guaranteed to see meaningful playing time Tuesday.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Prosper is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left quad contusion.
Prosper played 26 minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss, but the third-year wing has picked up an injury since. A two-way player, Prosper had appeared in just three of the Grizzlies' previous eight games despite being healthy.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Logs 26 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Prosper closed with eight points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 131-95 loss to the Celtics.
While it is likely Prosper only saw the court for an extended period of time due to the blowout status of the game, it is encouraging to see him take the court, especially with the Grizzlies dealing with the amount of injuries they have right now. Prosper will continue splitting time with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Rotowire
Prosper put up 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block over 24 minutes in Friday's 141-125 preseason win over Miami.
Prosper is on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies and will likely be with the team's G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, to begin the season. However, his encouraging performance in the preseason finale could result in him being called up if the team wants to shake up its rotational depth later in the season.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Being cut loose by Dallas
Rotowire
The Mavericks waived Prosper (wrist) on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Prosper missed the final month of last season after undergoing surgery for a right wrist injury, and he'll now look to find a home elsewhere ahead of the 2025-26 season. It's unclear how far along he is in his rehab, which could impact his value before training camp. After the calendar flipped to 2025, Prosper averaged 5.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 14.1 minutes per game over his final 30 regular-season appearances.

Prosper won't play Friday against the Grizzlies due to a right wrist sprain, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
It's unclear when Prosper picked up the injury, but it'll cost him at least one game. Look for Caleb Martin (hip) and Kessler Edwards to pick up a few extra minutes in Prosper's absence.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Scores 16 points off bench
Rotowire
Prosper notched 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime loss to Sacramento.
Anthony Davis (adductor) and P.J. Washington (ankle) were both sidelined Monday, and Davis is likely to miss extended time. Plus, Daniel Gafford left with a knee injury, so the Mavericks could potentially be very shorthanded going forward. Prosper made a strong impression Monday and is someone to watch in deeper formats in case he strings a few good games together.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Balanced outing in second start
Rotowire
Prosper finished Sunday's 144-101 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes.
Prosper got the starting nod for the second time this season Sunday due to P.J. Washington (knee) being sidelined, notching a team-high-tying pair of steals while leading all starters in assists and finishing as one of six Mavericks in double figures in scoring. Prosper has mustered double-digit point totals in four outings this year, including in three of his last six appearances.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Starting sans Washington

Prosper will start in Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Shines off bench Monday
Rotowire
Prosper contributed 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Monday's 130-108 victory over the Wizards.
Prosper has had a limited role all season long, but he's been stepping up his game lately and taking advantage of the uptick in minutes due to the rash of injuries that have impacted the Mavs. This means he's cleared the 20-minute mark in three of his last four outings while scoring at least 14 points twice in that span. That's not enough to roster him in most formats, but Prosper could have some upside as a streaming alternative in deep formats as long as the Mavericks remain depleted.

Rotowire
Prosper is part of the Mavericks' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Prosper will make his first start since Apr. 14, 2024, stepping into a larger role due to the absences of Klay Thompson (ankle) and Naji Marshall (illness). The second-year forward has averaged 6.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 13.0 minutes during his last four appearances.

Prosper played at least 10 minutes for the second straight game, assuming a more significant role due to the recent injuries to other players.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Retreats to bench Monday
Rotowire
Prosper will slide to the bench in Monday's preseason matchup against the Clippers, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Prosper got the spot start in Thursday's loss to the Jazz, and he amassed a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. However, the 22-year-old will slide back to the bench with P.J. Washington making his return to game action after nursing a hip injury to begin the preseason.
