Rayan Rupert Rayan Rupert posts 16/12/4/3/1 line off bench
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 6:21 PM
Rayan Rupert provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (7-of-25 FGs), 12 rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Jazz on Friday.
Analysis: After being inactive for two games, Rupert was back in the rotation for this game. He came off the bench at first, but he ended up starting the second half. His shot was inefficient, but he was able to contribute across the board in the box score. The former second-round pick signed a two-way deal with Memphis in February and is still only 21 years old. He still holds enough upside for dynasty managers to consider him as a stash, but it is unlikely this production carries over into next season. |

Dariq Whitehead Dariq Whitehead scores team-high 21 points
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 6:10 PM
Dariq Whitehead led the Grizzlies with 21 points (8-of-18 FGs), three rebounds and three three-pointers against the Jazz on Friday.
Analysis: Whitehead scored 16 of his 21 points in the first half, and he ended up sitting most the way after that, which prevented him from having a bigger night. The former five-star prospect never figured things out due to injuries, but he is still a talented young scorer. He has been able to prove that while on a 10-day for Memphis, but it will take more than that for him to earn a standard contract ahead of next season. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks adds 16 points Wednesday vs. DEN
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 5:50 PM
Taylor Hendricks produced 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Hendricks was productive despite playing only 22 minutes on Wednesday. He shot the ball well overall and capitalized on his few three-point attempts, allowing him to score in double figures for a second consecutive game. The fourth-year forward also contributed on the glass and finished as the only Grizzlies player to record at least one block and steal apiece. Hendricks has been a more productive player during his brief time in Memphis than he was previously in Utah. He'll have an opportunity to finish the regular season strong. |

Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 5:15 PM
Dariq Whitehead totaled 20 points (7-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and six three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.
Analysis: Similar to his teammate Adama Bal, Whitehead also came off the bench, drained six three-pointers, and finished with 20 points.

He hasn't gotten many opportunities this season, but may continue playing a large role off the bench to end the season. |

Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 4:59 PM
Olivier-Maxence Prosper tallied 24 points (10-of-12 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers on Monday.
Analysis: Prosper was the highest-scoring Grizzlies player on Monday, with all of his points coming from field goals. He only missed two shots and was red-hot from beyond the arc to efficiently make his way past the 20-point mark. Prosper didn't contribute in many other areas, which was the story of his season from a fantasy standpoint ??" he didn't provide much value aside from inconsistent scoring. |
