Ja Morant (elbow) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.Due to a sprained UCL in his left (non-shooting) elbow, Morant will not play on Friday. Cam Spencer is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, but there have been times when Vince Williams Jr. received the nod instead. Regardless of who head coach Tuomas Iisalo decides to go with, Spencer offers a considerably higher fantasy upside.
Cam Spencer finished Friday's loss to the Thunder with seven points (2-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one three-pointer.While he struggled shooting the basketball, Spencer hit double digits in assists for the third time this season. The 11 helpers were two shy of his career-high, as he continues to offer solid fantasy value as Ja Morant's replacement in the starting lineup. Vince Williams Jr. had a good night off the bench, tallying 13 points, three rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in 23 minutes. Until Morant is healthy enough to play, Spencer and Williams will handle the point guard duties.
Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.Williams is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday's game. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for Javon Small, who played 21 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Suns.
