Cam Spencer made his first start of the season on Saturday, October 31, posting 10 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 1 steal, 2 threes and no turnovers on 4-of-9 shooting in 25 minutes as Memphis defeated Sacramento 136-105.

The 13-assist performance lifted Spencer to 38.5 fantasy points, well above the 19.2 he had averaged over his previous 5 games. His strong showing in nine-category leagues came from the assists and zero turnovers, whilst points managers benefited from the expanded role. He sits at 17.9 projected fantasy points per game in default scoring.

Cam Spencer

Spencer had been coming off the bench for the first five contests, averaging 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 18.0 minutes per game over his previous 5 games. His season usage sits at 17.2 per cent with 68.4 per cent true shooting. The start and seven extra minutes gave him the platform to distribute at a level far beyond his normal output, though nothing suggests the role will stick.

Memphis have one game left this week, on Saturday. Spencer ranks 223rd overall with negative nine-category value. His assist total was a clear outlier and fantasy managers should treat this as a one-off until the Grizzlies indicate otherwise with their rotation choices. He remains a bench piece in deeper formats at best until his minutes stabilise.

What to do

• Keep Spencer on the bench in all formats until he shows consistent playing time above 20 minutes.

• Do not add Spencer based solely on this start, as his rotation spot remains uncertain.

• Monitor Memphis rotation news before their Saturday game to see whether he starts again.
