Cedric Coward

Cedric Coward established a new career high with 14 rebounds during Friday's victory over the Clippers, leading all players on the glass.

Coward also flashed his playmaking ability, tying a career high with five assists while adding a steal and a three-pointer. This performance marked his third 20-point outing of the campaign. As a key contributor during the Grizzlies' recent surge—winning six of their last eight games—Coward remains a highly productive option in fantasy lineups.

Coward has now started the last three games for the Grizzlies due to the absences of Jaren Jackson and Ja Morant. In those three games, he has averaged 16 points, nearly eight rebounds, and just over two assists. If Coward continues his offensive production, he could be a sneaky pickup in some fantasy leagues.

The rookie overcame a sluggish first half, where he scored just three points, to register his third double-double of the season. Coward has now reached double figures in scoring in six consecutive games and continues to provide top-100 value in nine-category formats. While his contributions were mostly limited to points and rebounds in this contest, the absence of Ja Morant for at least the next two weeks suggests Coward will have ample opportunity to expand his production in other categories.

Cedric Coward (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Coward was initially listed as doubtful, but this upgrade suggests he’ll test things out pregame. If he’s unable to go, Cam Spencer, Vince Williams, and John Konchar would be the primary beneficiaries.

Cedric Coward is doubtful for Saturday’s game in Cleveland due to right foot soreness. The injury may help explain his recent cold spell from beyond the arc. With Coward unlikely to play, Memphis may need to rely more heavily on Cam Spencer, Vince Williams and John Konchar on the wing.

Fantasy Impact

Coward hasn’t offered much recently, and his expected absence should free up additional minutes for the wings listed above.
