Grizzlies' David Roddy: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Roddy will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
Roddy will be filling in for the suspended Dillon Brooks, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Tyus Jones, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Xavier Tillman. In his previous two starts this season, Roddy registered 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.
Grizzlies' David Roddy: Another strong performance
Rotowire
Roddy posted 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 104-88 victory over Dallas.
Don't look now, but Roddy has dropped double-digit scoring in two straight games, logging at least 23 minutes in both outings. Of course, the performances could also be nothing more than a mirage, brought about by favorable circumstances. Brandon Clarke's season-ending Achilles injury should keep Roddy in the Memphis rotation for the foreseeable future, but his minutes could drop off a bit once he's no longer hitting three-quarters of his shots from the field, as has been the case between the past two contests.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Explodes for 17 points in fourth
Rotowire
Roddy chipped in 24 points (10-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one block and two steals in 23 minutes during Saturday's 112-108 victory over Dallas.
Roddy was electric in the fourth quarter, knocking down seven of eight shot attempts -- including three of four attempts from beyond the arc -- en route to producing 17 of his career-high 24 points. The rookie has now appeared in five straight games, seeing double-digit minutes in three of those contests. He looks as though he could have a regular spot in the rotation the rest of the way after Brandon Clarke (Achilles) suffered a season-ending injury earlier this month.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Moves into starting five
Rotowire
Roddy will start Sunday night's game against the Clippers, Andrew Greif of the LA Times reports.
The Grizzlies will be without Ja Morant (suspension) and Dillon Brooks (suspension), so Roddy and Tyus Jones will move into the starting lineup at small forward and point guard, respectively. Roddy hasn't been a part of the regular rotation of late, but the rookie held a more consistent role earlier in the season while Desmond Bane dealt with an injury. This will be only the second start of Roddy's young career.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Sent to G League
Rotowire
The Grizzlies assigned Roddy to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Wednesday.
Though Memphis is hosting Cleveland on Wednesday, Roddy will instead head to the G League for playing time since he was unlikely to be included in head coach Taylor Jenkins' rotation with fellow wing John Konchar (illness) returning from a two-game absence. Roddy is scheduled to suit up for the Hustle in Wednesday's game against the Santa Cruz Warriors in what will mark his second G League appearance of the season.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Locks in from three
Rotowire
Roddy finished Wednesday's 109-101 loss to Minnesota with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes.
Roddy made his presence known off the bench in this one by knocking down three of four attempts from three, marking arguably his best performance of the young season. However, his scoring production has been inconsistent at best over the last month or so, as he's finished in double figures just five times across 14 matchups.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Scores 11 points in 24 minutes
Rotowire
Roddy racked up 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 24 minutes during Friday's 132-111 win over the Pelicans.
Roddy and a number of others in the second unit logged significant playing time Friday, capitalizing on what was a blowout victory. While it has been a relatively strong start to his career, the playing time is not there on a nightly basis. He can be streamed occasionally, but realistically, deeper formats are more suited to his current role.
