Quentin Grimes posted 23 points, three rebounds, five assists and four steals on 7-of-15 shooting and 9-of-11 from the line in 38 minutes as a starter in the Lakers' 103-87 win over the Clippers on Wednesday, October 28.

The line produced 43.1 fantasy points against 24.6 a game over last season (75 games), with the 38 minutes representing a significant increase from his 29.4-minute average. The defensive production adds nine-category appeal, while the scoring and minutes make him a streaming option in points leagues when opportunity arises.

Quentin Grimes

Grimes shot 46.7 per cent from the field and 81.8 per cent from the line at 62.2 per cent true shooting, converting 11.5 per cent of the Lakers' possessions while he was on the court. The four steals were his most in a game, and the 23 points came without a three-pointer after he averaged 1.7 triples last season. He turned the ball over three times against 1.8 a game over last season.

The Lakers have no games left this week and zero games next week, giving Grimes time before his next opportunity. Season to date (five games, this one included) he has averaged 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.1 minutes a game, with a zero per cent start share after starting 25 per cent of his games last season. Stream him when minutes open up again.

What to do

• Stream Grimes in deep leagues when the Lakers return to action and his minutes are confirmed.

• Monitor his role for nine-category value if the steal rate holds with consistent playing time.

• Look elsewhere for immediate production with Los Angeles off the schedule this week and next.
