Jaylen Wells recorded 25 points (9-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.Two nights removed from recording his first 20-point game of the season, Wells dropped 25 points in New Orleans. The sudden scoring surge is an excellent development for the Grizzlies, who are still playing without Ja Morant. While Cedric Coward (12/9/4/0/1) remains the superior fantasy option, Wells has been a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past week. Hopefully, he can build on the last two games, but consistency has been an issue for Wells this season.
Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward (foot), Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey will start against the Cavaliers on Saturday.Coward was upgraded to questionable earlier in the day after initially being tagged as doubtful. He'll not only suit up, but he'll make the first start of his career, which will push Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the bench. Edey is also starting in his first appearance this season, which will push Jock Landale to a reserve role.

Cedric Coward (foot) is now questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.Coward was initially doubtful for Saturday's game with a sore right foot. With his status upgraded to questionable, the rookie's chances of playing have increased. Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson are the players who stand to benefit if Coward doesn't play, but neither is worth streaming while in a reserve role.
