Jahmai

Mashack

Mashack is known for his defense and was a strong source of steals at times last season, though he was able to provide far more than just swipes in this game. If he is able to carve out a spot in the Grizzlies rotation at times this season, it will be because of his defense. However, seeing an ability to contribute in other areas is certainly encouraging.

Clayton will miss a second straight game. On Friday, Lucas Williamson and Jahmai Mashack each played 48 minutes. Expect more strange rotations for Memphis in this one, with Williamson and Mashack likely filling all the backcourt minutes. As for Clayton, the 2025 first-rounder came over to Memphis in the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade and could figure in Memphis’ rotation in 2026-27 if Ja Morant is dealt this offseason. He has some conditional fantasy value, but he’s going to need to shoot better than 38.4 percent to be a major cog going forward.

Mashack recorded the dreaded quadruple-double. The triple-double part was nice, but the 10 turnovers really put a damper on his outing. The rookie has had some strong outings this year, specifically as a source of steals. This type of production only happens in April. Mashack should have a productive career as a rotation defender, but managers shouldn’t expect many more triple-doubles in his future.

Hendricks, who did not play in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers, is available and will replace Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the starting lineup. The other changes to the lineup are Mashack and Okani, who step in for Cam Spencer and Lucas Williamson. Spencer is not available, but Williamson should play significant minutes off the bench.

Mashack is back after a two-game absence to face the Nuggets. The rookie guard has seen an increased playing role over the second half of the season. He’ll have a chance to score in double figures on Wednesday for the third time in his last five games.

Mashack has missed Memphis’ last two games, with his absence contributing to increased playing time for Dariq Whitehead and Adama Bal. Even if Mashack returns on Wednesday, minutes won’t be an issue for Whitehead or Bal.

Mashack remains in concussion protocol and will miss a second consecutive game. Dariq Whitehead and Adama Bal are two players who have logged rotation minutes recently, and that should remain the case on Monday.

Mashack is in the league’s concussion protocol and will miss at least one game. He logged 14 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Raptors. Dariq Whitehead, Lucas Williamson and Adama Bal should play plenty due to the Grizzlies’ many injuries.

Already without Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer, the Grizzlies won’t have Clayton for Friday’s game, either. Jahmai Mashack and Javon Small will have important roles due to the Grizzlies’ limited depth, and Dariq Whitehead could make his debut after being inked to a 10-day contract.

Mashack matched his season-high in points on Saturday, and he did so while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. For category league managers, the overall stat line was somewhat lean. However, this was an impressive performance for the rookie, especially because Saturday’s game was Mashack’s first after a six-game absence. As a two-way contract player, Mashack is not a lock to be available for every game left on Memphis’ schedule, which makes it challenging to trust him in fantasy.
