Outlook Jerami Grant
Jerami Grant at Pelicans — Hot Shooting Meets Soft Defense
Jerami Grant enters tonight healthy and is expected to start at small forward for Memphis, though the lineup remains unconfirmed, with Zach Edey sidelined by an ankle injury. Grant has heated up over his last six games, averaging 13 points on 56.0 percent shooting after a slower season start. Fantasy managers have responded, pushing his roster rate from 18 percent to 27 percent over the last three days.
Our models expect 15 points and three rebounds across 27 minutes tonight in New Orleans. The Pelicans enter on a four-game skid while surrendering 124.3 points per game, giving Grant a favorable scoring backdrop. This matchup also kicks off a Friday-Saturday back-to-back to close Memphis's four-game week, keeping Grant's streaming appeal high through tomorrow.

Outlook Julian Champagnie
Julian Champagnie vs. Warriors — Streaming Appeal Hinges on Wing Availability
Champagnie enters tonight healthy in his sixth-man forward role behind Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle. With Vassell (adductor) and De'Aaron Fox (hip) both questionable, Champagnie's wing minutes and perimeter volume could expand if either sits. Over his last seven games, he has averaged roughly 25 minutes and 2.4 threes while maintaining steady 67% league ownership and a 59% start rate.
Our models project Champagnie for 27 minutes and 21.5 fantasy points against Golden State at Frost Bank Center. The 10-2 Spurs enter on a 10-game winning streak as 11.5-point home favorites, creating some fourth-quarter blowout risk against a stingy Warriors defense, though Vassell's uncertain status offers clear upside. After tonight, San Antonio closes out its four-game week Sunday in Utah.
