Santi Aldama

Dalton Knecht and Santi Aldama were two of the low-rostered fantasy basketball standouts on Tuesday.

Dalton Knecht and Santi Aldama were two of the low-rostered standouts on Tuesday.

Aldama led the Grizzlies in minutes as he came off the bench and played 33 minutes. He also led the team in scoring as he had 28 points on 19 shots and made four 3-pointers. Ja Morant is still out for Memphis, but Desmond Bane is back. Bane just had an off-night on Tuesday going 1-for-10 from the field and the team turned to Aldama. Unfortunately for Aldama, that isn't likely to continue and his role should be lessened once Bane is producing.

Edey injured his ankle during Sunday's win over the Nuggets, exiting during the third quarter. His extended absence opens up additional minutes for Santi Aldama and Jay Huff, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling.

Friday's game will be Bane's first since October 30, so fantasy managers should plan for his minutes to be restricted. In time, his return will impact Jaylen Wells and Santi Aldama the most, with the latter most likely to become irrelevant in fantasy basketball leagues.
