Outlook Meleek Thomas
Meleek Thomas at Knicks - Bench Scoring Role in New York
Healthy and operating in a reserve backcourt role for Cleveland, Meleek Thomas has seen his roster rate rise to 20% amid an impressive early-season stretch. Over his last seven contests, the rookie guard has provided steady perimeter production off the bench, averaging 12.6 points and 2.6 triples across 23.1 minutes per game.
In tonight's road matchup against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, our models project Thomas for 10.7 fantasy points and 6.5 points in 15.7 minutes. With Cleveland navigating a four-game week that concludes with a back-to-back set, his perimeter scoring is best viewed as deep-league depth.

Outlook Jaylen Wells
Jaylen Wells vs Nuggets — Bench Scoring Role in High-Total Matchup
Jaylen Wells enters Wednesday healthy and slated for his customary reserve wing role behind Jerami Grant. While Wells is averaging 11.0 points and shooting 40% from deep across 10 games this season, his scoring dipped to 8.5 points per contest over his last six games. Consequently, fantasy sentiment has cooled, with his roster rate declining steadily to 24%.
For tonight's matchup against Denver at FedExForum, our models project Wells for 13 points, three rebounds, and 20 fantasy points across 25 minutes in an expected high-scoring contest (230.5 total). With three games remaining on Memphis' four-game weekly slate—including an upcoming back-to-back—Wells provides serviceable deep-league utility for managers chasing perimeter volume.
