Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
Prosper (wrist) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns.
Prosper is dealing with right wrist soreness and is expected to miss his first game since Feb. 9. If the 23-year-old is ultimately ruled out, Taylor Hendricks and Tyler Burton would likely see increased playing time in the frontcourt.
Prosper closed with 31 points (12-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 119-109 loss to the Rockets.
Prosper got into some early foul trouble and was limited to just five points through the first half of play, but he caught fire after halftime and finished with a new career high in points. Prosper has been on a heater over the past two games, scoring a total of 48 points on 18-for-25 shooting over that stretch.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Puts up 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Prosper produced 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and five rebounds over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Spurs.
Prosper has been enjoying additional minutes due to the lack of frontcourt options available on the Memphis roster, and for the most part, the big man has been getting the job done. He's scored in double digits in 13 of his 18 consecutive starts dating back to Feb. 21, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He's a decent option to target if you need frontcourt depth late in the fantasy playoffs, given his steady playing time, as he's averaging 25.4 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Stuffs stat sheet Friday
Rotowire
Prosper racked up 14 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to the Celtics.
Prosper continues to thrive in a starting role and has been extremely consistent both as a scorer and as a rebounding asset. Over his last nine starts, Prosper has scored in double digits eight times while averaging a solid line of 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest. Look for Prosper to remain in the starting lineup as long as he stays healthy, as he figures to continue handling a big role following all the movements the Grizzlies made after the trade deadline back in early February.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Shooting struggles in narrow defeat
Rotowire
Prosper closed with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to Dallas.
Prosper's efficiency took a major hit, as he struggled to find his mark from both the perimeter and the free-throw line. Despite the cold shooting, the third-year pro remained productive in other areas, nearly reaching a double-double with eight boards and adding three steals. Since signing a standard two-year contract in early March, Prosper has been a consistent fixture in the Grizzlies' injury-depleted frontcourt. Over his last 11 games as a starter, he is averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25.0 minutes per night.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Starting role continues
Rotowire
Prosper ended Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes.
Prosper scored double digits for the fifth time in his past seven games, continuing to operate as the starting center. During that span, he has flirted with top-140 value in standard formats, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per contest. Despite the opportunity. Prosper's overall value is somewhat limited. At best, he should be viewed as a stream-level player, rather than someone who has to be held through any unfavorable stretches.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Flirts with double-double
Rotowire
Prosper totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-10 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Fresh off signing a new two-year contract with the Grizzlies, Prosper cobbled together another encouraging performance, falling one rebound short of a double-double. As basically the last center standing, Prosper has quietly put himself on the standard league radar. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has been a top-100 asset in standard formats, averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per contest.
The Grizzlies signed Prosper to a standard two-year deal Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Prosper was previously on a two-way contract, but the forward has impressed in recent outings with so many injuries on the roster. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: First career double-double
Rotowire
Prosper racked up 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-105 victory over the Mavericks.
Making his fourth straight start in an injury-ravaged Grizzlies frontcourt, Prosper recorded his first career double-double while also making an impact on the defensive end. The third-year pro took on a more sizable workload in February, when he averaged 13.1 points, 5.0 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (16-for-36) from beyond the arc over 10 games (five starts).

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Returns with 14 points
Rotowire
Prosper accumulated 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.
The Nuggets will face a tough decision regarding Prosper, as he is available for only 12 more games under his current contract. The team may take their chances and use that allotment until Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is back, or they could send Prosper back to the G League to save him for the final month. Due to the uncertainty surrounding his nightly status, he's a risky fantasy prospect.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Inactive for Monday's loss
Rotowire
Prosper (two-way) was inactive for Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.
Prosper had logged double-digit minutes in each of the Grizzlies' previous eight games, but Memphis elected to keep him inactive Monday, despite five players being ruled out with injuries and 10-day signee Lawson Lovering having yet to join the team. The Grizzlies likely decided to hold Prosper out in order to manage his availability; the two-way player has already suited up for 37 games with Memphis this season, meaning that he can be active for just 13 more contests before he would need to be converted to a standard deal to be eligible to play at the NBA level. With that in mind, expect Prosper's appearances to be somewhat sporadic moving forward, especially as the Memphis frontcourt gradually gets strengthened by the returns of Santi Aldama (knee), Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) from injury.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Slides back to bench
Rotowire
Prosper isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Portland.
The Grizzlies have been severely shorthanded in the frontcourt recently, and it was Prosper who was called upon to serve as the team's starting center last time out. However, Kyle Anderson is available Saturday night, and the veteran forward will take over center duties from Prosper. Given the Grizzlies' sheer lack of bodies, expect Prosper to see significant run off the bench.
Prosper will start against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
The 23-year-old forward will get the starting nod for the first time this season due to Santi Aldama (knee) being sidelined. Over his last five outings, Prosper has averaged 6.0 points and 3.8 rebounds across 17.2 minutes per contest.
Prosper logged eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.
Prosper was back in the rotation after having sat out the previous four games. This came out of nowhere, especially the fact that he logged 26 minutes, matching his season high. Given he has not been an every-night part of the rotation, it's hard to envisage a world where Prosper should be considered a viable fantasy asset, particularly in moderate to shallow leagues.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Prosper (quadriceps) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Prosper was unavailable for Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to a quadriceps issue, but he is set to play Tuesday. The forward has averaged 8.4 minutes per game over nine appearances in 2025-26, so he's not guaranteed to see meaningful playing time Tuesday.

Rotowire
Prosper is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left quad contusion.
Prosper played 26 minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss, but the third-year wing has picked up an injury since. A two-way player, Prosper had appeared in just three of the Grizzlies' previous eight games despite being healthy.

Rotowire
Prosper closed with eight points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 131-95 loss to the Celtics.
While it is likely Prosper only saw the court for an extended period of time due to the blowout status of the game, it is encouraging to see him take the court, especially with the Grizzlies dealing with the amount of injuries they have right now. Prosper will continue splitting time with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle.

Prosper is on a two-way contract with the Grizzlies and will likely be with the team's G League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle, to begin the season. However, his encouraging performance in the preseason finale could result in him being called up if the team wants to shake up its rotational depth later in the season.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Balanced outing in second start
Rotowire
Prosper finished Sunday's 144-101 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (4-15 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes.
Prosper got the starting nod for the second time this season Sunday due to P.J. Washington (knee) being sidelined, notching a team-high-tying pair of steals while leading all starters in assists and finishing as one of six Mavericks in double figures in scoring. Prosper has mustered double-digit point totals in four outings this year, including in three of his last six appearances.

Prosper will start in Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
