Olivier-Maxence Prosper Ruled Out Vs. Nuggets
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver after initially being listed as doubtful with right ankle soreness. With the season nearing its end, Prosper's absence opens more frontcourt minutes for Taylor Hendricks and Toby Okani. Hendricks flashed some upside in a recent start against Milwaukee with 11 points, three three-pointers, four rebounds, and four steals in 13 minutes, making him a speculative deep-league streamer. Taj Gibson could also see spot minutes to help on the glass. Okani could also see deeper-league streaming appeal if the minutes hold.

Ty Jerome Remains Out Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will remain on the shelf against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night. He has been ruled out for a ninth consecutive game. Jerome is nursing a left ankle sprain, and considering the Grizzlies' situation, it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out the final week of regular-season action. Javon Small (thigh) and Cam Spencer (back) also won't be part of the rotation against Denver. Lucas Williamson and Adama Bal had a huge workload in Monday's loss against Cleveland and could feature heavily again. Walter Clayton Jr., who recorded his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 assists on Monday, is another player benefiting from the backcourt injuries.

Jahmai Mashack Makes Early Exit Due to Neck Soreness
Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (neck) didn't complete Friday's blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors. He had two points, one rebound, and one assist in 14 minutes during the first half but didn't play in the second. The team initially announced that Mashack was doubtful to return due to neck soreness. Mashack has been among the many players who have benefited from the Grizzlies' injuries this season, but his neck issue might now keep him sidelined. Memphis will return to action on Sunday against Milwaukee.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Out Friday Against Toronto
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) will not play in Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to lower-back soreness. Taylor Hendricks could step into a larger role and is worth a look in deeper leagues after starting a recent game against Phoenix and finishing with five points, two rebounds, and one three-pointer in 18 minutes. Memphis remains thin in the frontcourt, which could also mean stable minutes for GG Jackson II. Hendricks is a possible deep league pickup if you need forward help, while Prosper can be considered day to day.

Walter Clayton Jr. is Ruled Out on Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is tough news for the Grizzlies, who are already without Ty Jerome (ankle) and Cam Spencer (back) for Friday's game. The absence of Clayton should mean increased roles for Jahmai Mashack, Javon Small, and possibly Dariq Whitehead. Among the trio, Small is the most consistent streaming option for this game. He finished with 13 points and four assists in 25 minutes of action on Wednesday. He'll offer some deep league streaming appeal for Friday's slate.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Off Injury Report Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks after missing one contest. The 23-year-old has been productive recently, averaging 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 1.6 steals in 24.4 minutes over his last five games, giving him some late-season appeal in deeper formats. With Taylor Hendricks (finger) doubtful, Prosper could handle significant frontcourt minutes again. His return should help steady Memphis' frontcourt rotation alongside GG Jackson II and Cedric Coward, but his fantasy value will still depend on whether he continues to see consistent minutes.

Ty Jerome to Miss Fifth Straight Game
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against New York, marking his fifth straight absence due to a left ankle sprain. With Jerome sidelined, Javon Small should continue seeing starting point guard duties, while Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton Jr. remain involved in the rotation. Spencer finished with 16 points, four three-pointers, and five assists in 19 minutes last game, giving him some deep league and DFS appeal. Small also offers assist and steal upside, while Clayton provides secondary playmaking. Jerome can be dropped in most redraft formats.

Jaylen Wells Has Successful Surgery on Tuesday
On Tuesday, the Memphis Grizzlies announced guard/forward Jaylen Wells (toe) underwent a successful procedure to stabilize his right big toe. The 22-year-old will miss the rest of the season but is expected to be good to go for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. Wells played in 69 contests this season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.1 blocks, and 0.9 steals while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from beyond the arc across 26.4 minutes per game. Wells extended absence opens the door for Rayan Rupert, Jahmai Mashack, and DeJon Jarreau to take on expanded roles in the rotation.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper to Miss Monday's Game
Memphis Grizzlies forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The second-year forward is dealing with right wrist soreness that will keep him out of this contest. His absence from the rotation should mean more minutes for Taylor Hendricks and Tyler Burton. Between the two, Hendricks is the better streaming choice for Monday's slate. Hendricks offers some deep league value and could be worth a look as a cheaper DFS option for Monday's slate.

Walter Clayton Jr. to Suit Up on Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite a left ankle injury, Clayton will suit up and figures to play a significant role in the rotation on Monday. He finished with seven points, six assists, and two steals across 30 minutes of play on Saturday. Ty Jerome (ankle) remains out, which means Clayton should continue seeing a larger role in the rotation. He's mostly a deep league option and could offer some cheap DFS value for Monday's slate.

Jaylen Wells Expected to Miss Rest of Season After Toe Procedure
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Jaylen Wells (toe) is scheduled to undergo toe surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reports. He has been diagnosed with a tendon avulsion fracture in his right great toe and will undergo a procedure to stabilize the toe. Wells has already missed three games due to the injury. The 22-year-old sophomore becomes the seventh Grizzlies player to be ruled out for the rest of the season. Wells' absence opens the door for Rayan Rupert, Jahmai Mashack, and DeJon Jarreau to take on expanded roles in the rotation.

Walter Clayton Jr. is Available for Saturday's Game
Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clayton will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie guard should continue playing a larger role in the rotation with Ty Jerome (ankle) and Cam Spencer (back) still sidelined. Over the last seven games, Clayton is averaging 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across 23.9 minutes per game. Clayton is playing well enough right now to warrant a look in deep leagues right now.

Jahmai Mashack is Returning on Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) is returning to the court ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Mashack is back following a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and nasal fracture. Before the injury, Mashack was actually playing significant minutes in the rotation. It's unclear if that will remain the case with the Grizzlies getting healthy at the guard spot. There's some deep league value here, but Mashack remains far from a must-add fantasy player.

Jahmai Mashack Remains Out Friday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old is currently banged up, dealing with an ankle sprain and a fractured nose. He will miss a sixth consecutive game after the team initially listed Mashack as doubtful. Ty Jerome (ankle) also won't play on Friday, so Javon Small, Walter Clayton Jr., and Cam Spencer should see more action in the Grizzlies' backcourt.

Ty Jerome to Miss Second Straight Game
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Houston, marking his second straight absence due to a left ankle sprain. Javon Small should remain in the starting lineup after finishing with eight points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 30 minutes last game, making him a viable deep-league streaming option for assists. Walter Clayton Jr. also remains in the mix after recording 10 points and six assists in 22 minutes, while Cam Spencer could continue to see steady minutes after handing out seven assists in 30 minutes.
