NBC SportsCam Spencer, Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale will start Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

The Grizzlies are down two starters for Tuesday's game, as Ja Morant (calf) and Cedric Coward (ankle) are out. Spencer will make a second consecutive start at point guard, with Vince Williams Jr. coming off the bench in his first game back from a knee injury. The other change is GG Jackson, who steps in for Coward. Capable of getting hot offensively, Jackson is worth watching in deeper leagues.

NBC SportsJaylen Wells recorded 23 points (8-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, two assists and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Lakers.

After a quiet first three quarters, Wells got hot in the fourth, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and scoring 15 points. For the sake of fantasy managers, it would have been nice to get a little more from Wells earlier in the game. With Ja Morant out and Cedric Coward leaving with an ankle injury, there was more room for the second-year wing to get shots. For his fantasy value to improve, Wells will need to be more aggressive offensively when the Grizzlies are at or near full strength.
