Nets career-high 31 points Prosper closed with 31 points (12-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Prosper got into some early foul trouble and was limited to just five points through the first half of play, but he caught fire after halftime and finished with a new career high in points. Prosper has been on a heater over the past two, scoring a total of 48 points on 18-for-25 shooting.

Puts up 17 points in loss Prosper produced 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and five rebounds over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Prosper has been enjoying additional minutes due to the lack of frontcourt options available on the Memphis roster, and for the most part, the big man has been getting the job done. He's scored in double digits in 13 of his 18 consecutive starts dating back to Feb. 21, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He's a decent option to target if you need frontcourt depth late in the fantasy playoffs given his steady playing time, as he's averaging 25.4 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Stuffs stat sheet Friday Prosper racked up 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Prosper continues to thrive in a starting role and has been extremely consistent both as a scorer but also as a rebounding asset. Over his last nine starts, Prosper has scored in double digits eight times while averaging a solid line of 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest. Look for Prosper to remain in the starting lineup as long as he stays healthy, as he figures to continue handling a big role following all the movements the Grizzlies made after the trade deadline back in early February.

Best scoring output as starter Prosper chipped in 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 victory over Denver.

Impact This wasn't Prosper's best scoring performance of the season, as he delivered a 25-point effort in a loss to the Trail Blazers on Feb. 7, and it also wasn't his best mark since the break -- he scored 23 in a win over Utah on Feb. 20 --, but it's worth noting that this was his best scoring mark in a starting role. Prosper moved to a starting role Feb. 21 and hasn't looked back, averaging 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in those 14 contests. His role as a starter is enough to consider him a solid fantasy alternative in most formats, especially since he's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight appearances.

Shooting struggles in narrow defeat Prosper closed with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to Dallas.

Impact Prosper's efficiency took a major hit on Thursday, as he struggled to find his mark from both the perimeter and the free-throw line. Despite the cold shooting, the third-year pro remained productive in other areas, nearly reaching a double-double with eight boards and adding three steals. Since signing a standard two-year contract in early March, Prosper has been a consistent fixture in the Grizzlies' injury-depleted frontcourt. Over his last 11 games as a starter, he is averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals while seeing 25 minutes of action per night.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double Prosper totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-10 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Fresh off signing a new two-year contract with the Grizzlies, Prosper cobbled together another encouraging performance, falling one rebound short of a double-double. As basically the last center standing, Prosper has quietly put himself on the standard league radar. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has been a top 100 asset in standard formats, averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per contest.

Lands two-year deal The Grizzlies signed Prosper to a standard two-year deal Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Propser was previously on a two-way contract, but the forward has impressed in recent outings with so many injuries on the roster. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

First career double-double Prosper racked up 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-105 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Making his fourth straight start in an injury-ravaged Grizzlies frontcourt, Prosper recorded his first career double-double while also making an impact at the defensive end of the court. The third-year big has taken on a bigger load during February, averaging 24.3 minutes over 10 games (five total starts) and producing 13.1 points, 5.0 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals a contest while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (16-for-36) from beyond the arc.

Productive again Monday 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.

Impact 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 limit. Keeping this in mind, Prosper is someone to at least consider picking up, just to see if he can maintain his current momentum.

Nets 23 points on 16 shots in win Prosper supplied 23 points (10-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 123-114 win over the Jazz.

Impact Prosper brought some nice energy off the bench and helped the Grizzlies hit the brakes on a four-game skid. He's been shooting the lights out over the past three games, scoring 20.7 points per game on 69.4 percent shooting from the field and 75.0 percent at the line to go with 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 treys and 1.0 steals per contest.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Returns with 14 points 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.

Impact The Nuggets will face a tough decision regarding Prosper, as he is only available for 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 a playoff push in the final month. Due to the uncertainty surrounding his nightly status, he's a risky fantasy prospect.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Monday's loss Prosper (two-way) was inactive for Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.

Impact 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 in order 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.
