NBC SportsDerik Queen recorded 10 points (5-of-8 FGs), two rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one blocked shot in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.

As was the case in Monday's win over the Bulls, Yves Missi (6/6/3/0/3) played more minutes than Queen. However, the split was closer to even, with Missi logging 29 minutes and Queen 24. The rookie did record nine assists, two shy of his season high, and his ability to facilitate offense should raise Queen's fantasy ceiling in time. He has provided seventh-round value over two weeks, so losing playing to Missi has not done too much harm to Queen's value.

NBC SportsKevon Looney (heel) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Looney, who has a right heel contusion, played 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Hawks. If cleared to play on Monday, he'll take on a similar role, which does not affect fantasy basketball. If Looney sits, DeAndre Jordan may pick up a few minutes backing up starter Derik Queen.
