Olivier-Maxence Prosper - Starting role continues Prosper ended Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes.

Impact Prosper scored double digits for the fifth time in his past seven games, continuing to play as the starting center. During that span, he has flirted with top-140 value in standard formats, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per contest. Despite the opportunity. Prosper's overall value is somewhat limited. At best, he should be viewed as a stream-level player, rather than someone who has to be held through any unfavorable stretches.

Javon Small - Pops for 19 points Small finished Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

Impact Small overcame a slow start to the game, ending with 19 points in 32 minutes. Memphis continues to rest players on a regular basis, allowing Small to play a sizeable role. In 11 appearances over the past month, he has managed to put up top 50 value in nine-category leagues, averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 three-pointers. Assuming you can deal with the inconsistent playing time, Small makes for a viable addition to most rosters.

Rayan Rupert - Adds 20 points in loss Rupert tallied 20 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one seal and two blocks in 36 minutes during Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact Rupert once again shouldered a sizable workload Monday with the Grizzlies forced to contend with several key injuries. The 21-year-old led Memphis in scoring despite coming off the bench, marking his best offensive production through 55 appearances this season. Rupert also tied his season high with four made treys, which is a number he hit one other time this year Feb. 6 while playing with Portland. He could continue to see opportunities to develop until his club can shake the injury bug.

Javon Small - Starting nod Monday Small is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact With Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe) and Cedric Coward (knee) all inactive, Small will enter the starting lineup for the fourth time this season. In his first three starts, the West Virginia product averaged 12.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.0 minutes per contest. Small figures to see a heavy dose of minutes Monday for a banged-up Grizzlies squad.

Walter Clayton Jr. - Not starting Monday Updating a previous report, Clayton will not start Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact The Grizzlies have only eight players available Monday, though Clayton will remain in a bench role. However, the rookie first-rounder should still see significant playing time. Over four March appearances (one start), he has averaged 7.5 points, 9.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Cam Spencer - Will start Monday Spencer will start Monday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The Grizzlies have only eight players available for the front end of this back-to-back set, so Spencer will get the starting nod for just the second time since the beginning of February. As a starter this season (15 games), the sharpshooter has averaged 11.1 points, 8.6 assists and 3.9 rebounds across 29.1 minutes per game.

Walter Clayton Jr. - Starting Monday Clayton will start Monday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact With the Grizzlies being shorthanded in the front end of this back-to-back set, Clayton will step into the starting five. As a starter this season (two games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 8.0 points, 10.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.5 minutes per contest.

Ty Jerome - Downgraded to out Monday Jerome (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Jerome's absence appears to be strategic management of his right calf, as Monday's contest is the first of a back-to-back set. With Scotty Pippen (toe) also sidelined, Javon Small, Walter Clayton and Cam Spencer should see an uptick in opportunities in the backcourt.

11 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Taylor Hendricks - Ruled out Monday Hendricks (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact As expected, Hendricks will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to right thumb soreness. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Philadelphia. With the Grizzlies set to be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt, GG Jackson, Rayan Rupert and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should all see significant minutes.

11 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Scotty Pippen Jr. - Downgraded to out Pippen is out for Monday's game against the Nets due to right toe soreness.

Impact As expected, the Grizzlies are downgrading Pippen from doubtful to out Monday. The expectation is that the guard will return to the lineup Tuesday, when Memphis takes on Philadelphia. Javon Small, Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton should each see plenty of playmaking opportunities for a Grizzlies team that has just eight active players Monday.

11 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Cedric Coward - Officially out Coward (knee) won't play Monday against the Nets.

Impact Coward was downgraded to doubtful ahead of Monday's matchup, so the fact that he's been ruled out isn't much of a surprise. This should open up plenty of opportunities for Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer in the backcourt.

Scotty Pippen Jr. - Doubtful for Monday Pippen is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to right great toe soreness.

Impact Pippen has played in seven of the team's last eight games, but he appears set to miss Monday's contest as he continues to nurse a toe injury. If he is officially ruled out, Javon Small, Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton could see expanded roles.

Santi Aldama - Won't play Monday Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Aldama continues to be sidelined by a right knee injury that has prevented him from playing since Feb. 4 against the Kings. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday against the Sixers, but the fifth-year pro can be considered doubtful for that contest given the lack of a medical update from Memphis.

Taj Gibson - Won't play Monday Gibson (reconditioning) is out for Monday's game in Brooklyn.

Impact Gibson has yet to make his Memphis debut, as he's still working on his conditioning. Gibson's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Philadelphia.
