Wed Nov 19 201413:27Leuer (illness) questionable for Wednesday's game
Leuer (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game, Sports 56 WHBQ's Rob Fischer reports.
A third of the Grizzlies' roster is questionable Wednesday with a stomach virus, and if Leuer cannot play, Zach Randolph could see an even bigger workload than usual.

Leuer posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during the Grizzlies' 119-93 win versus the Rockets on Monday.
Leuer had his best game of the season on Monday, turning in an extremely efficient performance. Everyone on the Grizzlies had it going on this night, and if Leuer can start to find some consistency he might hold some value in deeper leagues. Still, his upside is limited unless there is an injury to Zach Randolph or Marc Gasol.

Leuer is averaging 11.2 minutes off the bench this season during six games.
Leuer seems to be in the rotation but in limited fashion. Barring future injuries to the Grizzlies' frontcourt, Leuer is a hard player to justify owning at this point in the season.
Wed Mar 5 201423:48Jon Leuer drops 19 & 5 off bench
Jon Leuer came off the bench to hit 6-of-10 shots and three 3-pointers for 19 points and five rebounds in Wednesday's ugly loss at Brooklyn.
Zach Randolph was out with the flu, starters Ed Davis and Tayshaun Prince were invisible and the Grizzlies turned to their bench early and often in an ugly loss. Leuer posted some big lines earlier in the season, but there's no reason to think he's about ready to go on a run, as Randolph should be back soon. Ignore tonight's positive performance.

Sat Jan 11 201401:15Leuer plays 12 minutes on Friday
Jon Leuer played 12 minutes on Friday and finished with two points, three rebounds and one assist.
Leuer hit 1-of-5 shots and Ed Davis' big night probably had something to do with that, but the bottom line is that Marc Gasol is coming back soon and even with 23 points on Sunday there's nothing to see here.

Sun Jan 5 201417:50Jon Leuer could be included in Bayless deal
Jon Leuer could be included in the proposed Jerryd Bayless-Courtney Lee deal, according to A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast Sports Net.
Blakely astutely points out Memphis has to throw some salary to the Celtics because Lee's deal is so much larger than Bayless'. It could be several other players, but Leuer might make the most sense. If he is dealt, Ed Davis and Kosta Koufos would gain some fantasy value.

Sun Jan 5 201416:53Jon Leuer matches career-high 23 points
Jon Leuer matched his career-high 23 points against the Pistons on Sunday to go with eight boards, one assist, one steal and two 3-pointers on 8-of-13 shooting.
He scored seven points in the last 2:30 of this game, but he did do most of his damage in the first half with 16 points. Leuer's minutes dropped off significantly over his previous four games with just 11.8 per game. Fantasy owners can probably ignore this in most cases considering Leuer's value will likely evaporate once Marc Gasol comes back.

Sat Jan 4 201402:09Leuer scores 11 points in just 15 minutes
Jon Leuer scored 11 points in just 15 minutes on Friday, hitting 4-of-6 shots (including a three) with three rebounds and one block.
Leuer has been off the fantasy radar over the last two weeks and with Marc Gasol returning soon he's probably bound to stay on waiver wires.

Sun Dec 29 201301:14Jon Leuer's run officially over for Memphis
Jon Leuer played just nine minutes on Saturday and finished with five points and one rebound in a win over the Nuggets.
Leuer's run is officially over, as he's scored six or fewer points in three of his last four games after rattling off double-digit scoring in his seven previous games. And with Kosta Koufos playing better and Marc Gasol nearing a return from a knee injury, it's time to send Leuer back to where you found him.

Fri Dec 27 201301:50Jon Leuer's run looks to be over
Jon Leuer had another quiet game against the Rockets on Thursday with six points and no rebounds in 12 minutes.
The Grizzlies are running a three-way timeshare at center with Ed Davis and Kosta Koufos, so there isn't much to like here from a fantasy perspective. There's a good chance Leuer's low minutes had a lot to do with Dwight Howard, so his value might not be completely dead yet.

Sat Dec 21 201315:01Jon Leuer quiet in 17 minutes vs. Knicks
Grizzlies big man Jon Leuer had only two points and five boards in 17 minutes during Saturday's game, the second time all month he's been held to single-digit scoring.
He came with December averages of 15.3 points, 7.2 boards and 0.7 blocks in 28 minutes per game, and the Knicks deployed their 'big' lineup, so there was no way to see this coming. There's a good chance that he'll bounce back vs. the Jazz on Monday.

Thu Dec 19 201301:26Jon Leuer plays 23 minutes off the bench
Jon Leuer played 23 minutes off the bench for the Grizzlies with 14 points, one board, one assist and two 3-pointers on 6-of-10 from the field.
He's scored in the teens in each of his last seven games, adding averages of 1.4 triples, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals. Leuer's low rebounding total is a little disappointing tonight, but the solid offensive output makes him a hold for owners that have been utilizing his services.

Tue Dec 17 201323:33Jon Leuer goes for 13 & 7 with three triples
Jon Leuer stayed hot on Tuesday, hitting 5-of-9 shots and three 3-pointers for 13 points, seven rebounds, a steal and a block.
Leuer simply won't go away and has scored in double figures in six straight games, and seven of his last eight. He's averaging 16.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 3-pointers on 53 percent shooting, while he's also hitting 89 percent of his free throws over that stretch. He'll cool off once Marc Gasol comes back, but based on his play over the last two weeks, he's a must-own player until further notice.

Sun Dec 15 201321:35Jon Leuer impressive w/ 15 pts, nine rebounds
Jon Leuer's impressive play continued on Sunday, as he notched 15 points and nine rebounds in just 27 minutes.
He hit 7-of-13 FGs and even made another 3-pointer, giving him at least one make in four straight games. The return of Ed Davis (seven minutes) has done nothing to cool off Leuer, and fantasy owners might as well ride him until he slows down.

Fri Dec 13 201323:59Jon Leuer stays hot vs. Pelicans, scores 19
Jon Leuer kept his hot streak going on Friday with 19 points, eight boards, one assist and one 3-pointer on 8-of-10 shooting in 30 minutes.
There aren't many out-of-the-blue players turning in big lines quite like Leuer. In his last last four games, the 24-year-old forward averaged 16.8 points, 8.0 boards and 1.0 triples in 29.8 minutes per game. The Grizzlies have needed to play from behind a lot, so they've went with more of an offensive option down low. He is worth a look in all leagues while he's hot like this, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him fall off in a hurry.

Wed Dec 11 201323:59Jon Leuer stays hot with 17 & 6 in loss
Jon Leuer stayed hot for the Grizzlies on Wednesday with 17 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers, although he hit just 5-of-14 shots in 32 minutes.
Leuer is getting some nice run right now with Ed Davis (ankle) and Marc Gasol (knee) out of action, and is averaging a shocking 15.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 3-pointers on 50 percent shooting over his last five games. He's certainly worth using in any league for now, but things could get dicey once Davis is back.

Mon Dec 9 201323:03Leuer goes for 16 and 12 in win over Magic
Jon Leuer went for 16 and 12 with a three and a steal in the Grizzlies' 94-85 win over the Magic on Monday.
Leuer has stepped into Ed Davis' role and should be considered in any format while that's the case, though your guess is as good as ours if he can keep it up. Jerryd Bayless scored 11 points, Mike Conley scored 13 points with seven assists, Kosta Koufos went for seven and 11 with three blocks, and Zach Randolph went for 19 and 12 in the win.

Wed Dec 4 201300:55Jon Leuer scores 23 points in win over PHX
Jon Leuer scored a team-high 23 points against the Suns on Tuesday, adding nine boards, three blocks and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.
He's hit three 3-pointers in his last two games, which matches his total over his career prior to those makes. Leuer did play 24 minutes on Saturday, but he only logged a total of 45 minutes before his last two games. He's only worth a look if Zach Randolph has to rest again on Thursday.

Wed Oct 9 201323:39Jon Leuer impressive in loss to Dallas
Big man Jon Leuer came off the bench and blew up for 17 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and a block on 7-of-12 shooting in 34 minutes on Wednesday.
Don't get too excited. Marc Gasol was resting, while Ed Davis and Zach Randolph started. Leuer is playing for a spot in the rotation and looked great, but the fact remains that he's going to have a hard time getting enough minutes as long as Gasol, Randolph and Davis are all healthy in front of him.

Wed Jul 3 201300:00Grizzlies reach deal with F Jon Leuer
Grizzlies reach agreement with F Jon Leuer for three years, $3 million, reports Rob Fischer on Twitter.
They didn't give Leuer a qualifying offer, but liked him enough to give him a million dollars per year over the next three seasons. Leuer is a tough, hard working big man, but isn't likely to ever be worth owning in most fantasy leagues.
