Roddy will move to a bench role for Friday's game against the Rockets, Jessica Benson of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

EDGE Analysis

Desmond Bane is returning from his illness Friday, but instead of Vince Williams, it will be Roddy who moves to the second unit. Roddy is coming off a dud versus Houston on Wednesday, as he hit 3-of-14 shots for nine points in 32 minutes.

Roddy provided four points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two steals and assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 116-102 victory over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

This game was also Roddy's fourth consecutive start since replacing Santi Aldama on Nov. 29, and he is averaging 9.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks through 25.3 minutes in that span. The Grizzlies are also 3-1 since playing Roddy with the starters, so it seems likely he will continue his role for the foreseeable future.

Roddy accumulated 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 105-91 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Roddy moved into the starting lineup Wednesday, replacing Santi Aldama, who was relegated to the bench. His 19 points marked a season high, and it was the third consecutive game in which he has tallied double-digit points. The Grizzles are basically rolling the dice on anyone and everyone to see if they can find a combination that works. Roddy is certainly not a must-roster guy but could be worth a flier heading into Friday's game against the Mavericks.

Roddy is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Utah, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roddy will replace Santi Aldama in the starting lineup Wednesday. Roddy tallied 16 points and three assists in 32 minutes during his only other starting appearance this season.

Roddy registered four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

With Memphis banged up, Roddy has carved out a consistent bench role. He's played at least 20 minutes in five straight games, averaging 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes during that stretch. However, his production has been extremely sporadic, making him an untrustworthy fantasy option.

Roddy produced 17 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 134-107 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of the game allowed the Grizzlies' reserves to play more than they usually do, and Roddy was one of the players that took advantage of the opportunity to deliver a strong fantasy line. However, this was just the third time he scored in double digits this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him going forward.

Roddy will not start in Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Roddy was moved into the starting lineup for Memphis' previous matchup, in which he posted 16 points and three rebounds, but he will be moved back to the bench in favor of Xavier Tillman. It would not be surprising to see Memphis' starting lineup continue to change with their struggles to start the season.

Roddy registered 16 points (8-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 32 minutes in Friday's 115-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Roddy entered the starting five in place of Xavier Tillman, who moved to the bench while the Grizzlies favored more of a small-ball lineup featuring Jaren Jackson at center. As a result of the promotion to the top unit, Roddy was able to clear the 30-minute mark for the first time in 2023-24, and though he also posted a new season-high in scoring, his contributions were lacking in other areas. It's unclear if Roddy will stick in the starting five moving forward or if Friday's lineup configuration was a one-game experiment, but the second-year player is likely to face a threat for playing time sooner or later when Santi Aldama (ankle) is cleared to make his season debut.

Roddy will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Roddy will replace Xavier Tillman in the first unit. The Grizzlies are 0-5 to begin the season, so it's not a surprise to see them shake things up. Roddy has played pretty well, to his credit, averaging 8.2 points on 48.6 percent shooting from the field.

Roddy racked up 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 24 minutes during Saturday's 113-106 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Roddy has been making the most of his playing opportunities in a depleted frontcourt that is currently without Steven Adams (knee), Santi Aldama (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles). This was his first double-digit scoring output of the campaign, and he's averaging 7.7 points with 4.3 rebounds per game through three outings. Those numbers won't make waves in fantasy outside of deeper leagues, but he might be a player worth keeping close tabs on if he starts seeing an uptick in his minutes going forward.
