Cedric Coward totaled 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in the loss to the Hornets on Wednesday.Coward was one of the Grizzlies' main contributors in his 27 minutes of game action. He shot efficiently and came close to scoring 20 points, despite an insignificant number of shot attempts. Just as impressive were the contributions he made as a passer; Coward finished second on his team in assists, while only committing one turnover along the way. The rookie didn't log any stocks on Wednesday. Still, he had a solid game overall and will have an opportunity to be even better on Friday against the Pelicans.
Cam Spencer, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale will start Wednesday's game against the Hornets.Santi Aldama (knee) is not available for Wednesday's game, making it three of the last four that he's missed. Landale returns to the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. That's the lone change to the Grizzlies' starting five.
Cam Spencer, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. will start Monday's game against the Rockets.After a two-game absence, Aldama is back on the court and is part of the Grizzlies' starting lineup. His return pushes Jock Landale to the bench, lowering the latter's fantasy ceiling. However, both players are worth rostering as the Grizzlies continue without Zach Edey (ankle).
Cedric Coward: Nets 17 points with three stocksCoward produced 17 points (7-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Hawks.
Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, John Konchar and Jaren Jackson Jr. will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.The Grizzlies are without Santi Aldama for Wednesday's game, as he has been sidelined by a knee injury. However, instead of starting a center (Jock Landale) alongside Jackson, the Grizzlies are going with Konchar. He can provide rebounding production, but should not be considered a must-stream player. And Memphis will need JJJ to step up as a rebounder, something that has rarely happened this season.
