Spellman totaled four points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes in Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Mad Ants.
EDGE Analysis
Spellman was incredibly inefficient and shot just 10 percent from the floor Tuesday, but he led the BayHawks on the boards during the narrow victory over Fort Wayne. He's been in the starting lineup for five of the first nine games of the season, averaging 8.1 points and 5.8 rebounds over 22.7 minutes per contest during that time.

Spellman posted eight points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and three steals over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 127-87 win over the G League Ignite.
EDGE Analysis
Spellman joined the starting five for the first time this season against the Ignite, but he was the only starter for the BayHawks to not score in double figures Wednesday. However, he put up a team-high 10 rebounds in the blowout win. He's now averaging 8.8 points and 4.8 rebounds over 22.1 minutes per game to begin the year, although it's not yet clear whether his starting role will continue.

Spellman logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 26 minutes in Saturday's 115-108 loss to the Austin Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Spellman has carved out a consistent role off the bench early in the G League season, and he was one of the team's top contributors in Saturday's loss. The 23-year-old should continue to see considerable usage for the BayHawks this year, even if he remains in a bench role.

Spellman recorded 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Friday's 138-126 win over Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Spellman has come off the bench in each of the first two games of the G League season, but he's been relatively productive for the BayHawks. During that time, he's averaging 10.5 points and 4.0 assists over 21.3 minutes per game.

Spellman will play in the G League bubble with the Erie Bayhawks, freelance journalist Adam Zagoria reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spellman was let go by the Knicks earlier in the year to make room for Taj Gibson. The Pelicans' organization has some interest in Spellman, since it is the BayHawks' parent club.

Spellman is expected to be waived, with the Knicks planning to sign veteran Taj Gibson, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nothing is set in stone yet, but Spellman will likely be cut before seeing action for the Knicks this season. Even if he lands with another team, he's unlikely to see a workload that would lead to fantasy-relevant production.

Spellman (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against Utah, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old has been sidelined by a sore right knee, but he'll be available to potentially make his season debut Wednesday. Spellman could operate as New York's backup center with Nerlens Noel (ankle) sidelined.

Spellman (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Spellman has yet to play this year due to a sore right knee, but it looks like he has a good chance to suit for tomorrow's contest. The 23-year-old power forward likely isn't looking at much of a role right away in his return.
