Rotowire
Prosper (ankle) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against Utah.
Prosper didn't play in Wednesday's 136-119 loss to Denver. It appears that trend will continue against Utah, so he'll have one more opportunity to suit up after Friday's contest before the Grizzlies call it a season. If Prosper is ruled out, Taj Gibson may find himself in the starting lineup.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
Prosper (wrist) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Suns.

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: Best scoring output as starter
Rotowire
Prosper chipped in 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 victory over Denver.
This wasn't Prosper's best scoring performance of the season, as he delivered a 25-point effort in a loss to the Trail Blazers on Feb. 7, and it wasn't his best mark since the break, as he scored 23 in a win over Utah on Feb. 20. However, it's worth noting that this was his best scoring mark in a starting role. Prosper moved to a starting role Feb. 21 and hasn't looked back, averaging 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in those 14 contests. His role as a starter is enough to consider him a solid fantasy alternative in most formats, especially since he's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight appearances.

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.
