Marreese Speights scored a season-high 25 points in the Grizzlies' double-overtime loss on Tuesday, hitting 12-of-20 shots with seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 49 minutes. With Zach Randolph (knee) returning soon this is Speights' swan song, and if you can find anybody that's not paying attention then go ahead and try to swing a deal. Otherwise, ride him until the wheels fall off.

Marreese Speights had 18 points, seven rebounds, two steals and a block in Wednesday's win. Zach Randolph is targeting a return to the lineup on Tuesday, which is going to be a big blow to Speights' value. Add in the fact that he's been highly inconsistent, and it's about time to make alternate plans if you own Speights. However, he should continue to start for a couple more games until we see Z-Bo back in uniform.

Marreese Speights scored three points on 1-of-4 shooting with three rebounds and a block in 20 minutes on Friday. Speights was all but dead before his recent spurt of productivity, but he has really struggled lately and should be dropped for a hot free agent. Zach Randolph is about to render him useless, anyway.

Marreese Speights had just two points and six rebounds in 18 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Mavericks. It's performances like this that drove Speights into Doug Collins' doghouse in Philadelphia. He turned it over four times, shot 1-of-5 from the field and failed to get to the foul line. Speights' natural talent and starting role will yield some big games, but wild inconsistency is a guarantee. As soon as Zach Randolph (knee) returns, Speights will struggle for relevance.

Marreese Speights scored 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting with seven rebounds and no steals or blocks in 30 minutes on Monday. Better late than never, and though the lack of steals and blocks is a bummer he has been producing so all is well. He's worth starting consideration in most formats while he's hot.

Marreese Speights stayed hot during Saturday's razor-thin win vs. the Warriors, finishing with 16 points points and eight rebounds. Speights only played 24 minutes, but narrowly missed his third consecutive double-double. He's been blocking shots lately (none on Saturday) and owners should ride him while he's producing, with the knowledge that it can (and likely will) dry up without warning. The return of Zach Randolph, of course, looms as an existential threat to his fantasy value.

Marreese Speights had 12 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks as the Grizzlies beat the Nuggets on Friday. Speights had 20 points and 18 boards on Wednesday and has played very well in his last six games. If you need a big man, he is as hot as they come off the waiver wire right now.

Coach Lionel Hollins preached consistency when asked about Marreese Speights Wednesday night. Speights went off for 20 points and 18 boards in 38 minutes on Wednesday. "He's just 24 years old. He just can't come out the next game, and give us four (points) and one (rebound)," Hollins said. Over the last five games, Speights is averaging 12.0 points and 11.6 boards while playing 32.2 minutes per night. He's earning some leash until Zach Randolph (knee) returns in early March.

Marreese Speights had a pair of season-highs on Wednesday night, posting 20 points and 18 rebounds in the Grizzlies victory of the Nets. Speights has been heating up as of late, and unless you are stacked at the power forward position, he could be worth a short-term add in 12-team leagues or larger. Keep in mind tonight's performance came against the lowly Nets, and Zach Randolph is scheduled to return in a few weeks, but you certainly could do worse than Speights at this point.
