Gilyard recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Gilyard drew his second straight start for the injury-depleted Grizzlies and delivered another strong performance. Over the last two games, Gilyard has totaled 29 points (10-19 FG), 11 assists, four rebounds, four steals and one block while averaging 34.0 minutes per game. If he's able to maintain this type of role, Gilyard should be on fantasy radars, especially in deeper leagues.

Gilyard ended Monday's 103-94 loss to the Kings with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 16 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the fact the Grizzlies were without several key pieces, Gilyard still struggled to have any sort of tangible impact. He has scored double-digits only three times all season, with his only upside being in the assists department. Other than being a speculative stream option, managers are likely to find a more reliable option on most waiver wires.

Gilyard is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Desmond Bane (ankle) has joined Memphis' rapidly growing injury report. Gilyard is likely going to see a healthy workload Saturday, but he hasn't fared well in eight starts this season. In those games, Gilyard averaged 6.9 points, 3.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers on 42.2 percent shooting from the field.

Gilyard will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
No surprises here, as Ja Morant is returning from his 25-game suspension Tuesday. Gilyard will likely serve as the backup point guard until Derrick Rose (hamstring, week-to-week) gets the green light.

Gilyard recorded 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 116-97 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Gilyard started for the first time since Nov. 26 and delivered a strong performance given how outmatched the Grizzlies looked in a 19-point loss to a superior team such as Oklahoma City. Expect Gilyard to return to the bench since Ja Morant (suspension) is eligible to return Tuesday against the Pelicans.
