Spencer won't start against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Ty Jerome (calf) entering the starting five in his regular-season debut, Spencer will slide to the second unit. In 31 appearances off the bench so far this season, the sharpshooter has averaged 11.9 points, 4.1 assists, 2.4 three-pointers and 2.1 rebounds while shooting 50.7 percent from downtown in 21.5 minutes per game.

Spencer contributed 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 24 minutes during Friday's 114-106 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Spencer was uber-efficient Friday evening, with his first, and only miss, not coming until midway through the fourth quarter. The sophomore guard has been heating up over the past four games, churning out top-80 value behind averages of 11.5 points, 8.3 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.

Spencer finished with five points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-99 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Spencer matched his season-best mark of 13 assists, a figure he's reached three times this campaign. This wasn't Spencer's best night shooting the ball, but he looks poised to have some solid fantasy appeal in the absence of Ja Morant (elbow). Across 12 starts this season, Spencer holds averages of 11.7 points, 9.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 30.3 minutes per contest.

Spencer notched 21 points (7-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one block across 28 minutes during Friday's 133-127 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Spencer was highly efficient and effective Friday despite the loss, logging his fourth double-double of the season and his first in which he topped 20 points. The 25-year-old may not be locked in as an everyday starter when Ja Morant (elbow) is healthy, but Spencer regularly makes an impact whenever called upon this year.

Spencer will start Friday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

With Ja Morant (elbow) unavailable, Spencer will get the starting nod against New Orleans. As a starter this month (six games), the 25-year-old guard has averaged 11.0 points, 9.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 29.7 minutes per tilt.

Spencer is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ja Morant (calf) has been cleared to return from a six-game absence and will start Sunday, but Spencer should still see a healthy amount of playing time off the bench due to the former operating on a minutes restriction. Spencer started each of the Grizzlies' last six games, and over that span he averaged 11.0 points, 9.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 threes over 29.7 minutes per game.

Spencer logged 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and 13 assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fifth straight start in place of Ja Morant (calf), Spencer delivered his third double-double of the season. The second-year guard is taking advantage of his latest opportunity in the starting five, averaging 11.8 points, 9.2 assists, 4.2 boards, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals over 30.2 minutes, and with trade rumors circling around Morant, Spencer's role could become more secure in the near future.

Spencer recorded 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 106-105 win over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Spencer capped off a strong performance, connecting on a baseline mid-range jumper with only seconds remaining, sealing what was an impressive victory. With Ja Morant (calf) sidelined yet again, Spencer is suddenly back on the standard league radar. He should be rostered everywhere, at least until Morant has strung together multiple games.

Spencer will start against the Lakers on Sunday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Ja Morant (calf) unavailable, Spencer will get the starting nod for the fifth time on the campaign. As a member of the starting five this season, the sharpshooter has averaged 12.0 points, 9.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 32.5 minutes per contest.

Spencer racked up seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and five assists in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 139-136 overtime loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Spencer scored in single digits for the second straight game, a worrying trend for anyone still rostering him. With Ja Morant now healthy and playing his best basketball of the season, it appears that Spencer's role could be declining. With that said, Morant's next injury could be just around the corner, giving Spencer a slightly longer shelf-life. He remains a soft hold, specifically for managers needing assists and threes.
