Struggles offensively in win Jackson ended Sunday's 119-96 victory over the Trail Blazers with six points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 24 minutes.

Impact Jackson has now scored in single digits in two of his past three games, but he does have seven steals and two blocks during that stretch. Even with Ja Morant (calf) sidelined, Jackson hasn't been able to take advantage offensively, averaging 17.0 points per game, which would be his lowest mark since 2021-22.

Scored a team-high 22 in win Aldama closed Sunday's 119-96 victory over the Trail Blazers with 22 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes.

Impact Aldama led the entire team in scoring off the bench and bounced back from a three-game string of disappointing appearances where he averaged just 6.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists. Aldama has shown he can be great when he sees high volume, as in games of at least 28 minutes played he averages 17.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.1 threes.

Near double-double in win Landale ended Sunday's 119-96 win over the Trail Blazers with 15 points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes.

Impact Landale had an impressive game Sunday, including getting to the free-throw line a season-high 10 times. While Landale will continue to back up Zach Edey at center, he has shown that he is capable of turning in impressive performances if given the opportunity, and is a must-add if Edey were to miss any time moving forward.

Continues to nosedive Williams ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Williams has flashed some impressive playmaking skills at times -- he had a pair of games with at least 15 dimes in late November -- his fantasy value is heading into a tailspin. The combo guard has averaged 5.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game across his past four contests, shooting a paltry 25.8 percent from the floor. With Ja Morant (calf) nearing a return, most fantasy managers likely shouldn't be clinging to Williams.

Records fifth double-double Edey fouled out of Sunday's 119-96 win over the Trail Blazers after recording 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes.

Impact Edey is already up to five double-doubles in just 11 outings amid a dominant start in 2025-26, and he even tied a season high in dimes. The 2024 first-rounder is certainly off and running after a delayed start to the season due to offseason ankle surgery, averaging 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 assists in 25.8 minutes per game while shooting 63.3 percent from the field.

Heating up from downtown Caldwell-Pope notched 16 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 win over Portland.

Impact Caldwell-Pope has been stuck in a brutal slump to begin the season, but he finally showed some signs of life Sunday. The 16 points were a season high, a welcome sign as the veteran swingman looks to find his footing during his first year with Memphis. Caldwell-Pope is averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 20.1 minutes per game over his last eight contests, shooting 51.9 percent from three-point range.
