Serviceable effort Monday
Grimes contributed 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 119-109 loss to the Heat.
Analysis
Grimes logged 32 minutes in the loss, continuing to play a meaningful role despite the fact that Philadelphia is running with a relatively injury-free rotation. While it does appear as though he could flirt with 28 minutes per game moving forward, his fantasy value is likely to be limited to streaming, as opposed to being a must-roster player.

Not starting Saturday
Grimes won't start Saturday's game against the Hornets, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Analysis
With Tyrese Maxey (finger) back in the lineup following a 10-game absence, Grimes will retreat to the second unit. Over six appearances off the bench since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old guard has averaged 12.2 points, 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds across 26.3 minutes per tilt.

Displays defensive chops in win
Grimes logged 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks over 31 minutes during the 76ers' 157-137 win over the Bulls on Wednesday.
Analysis
Grimes filled up the box score in Wednesday's blowout win, especially on the defensive end of the floor, where he set a season high with six combined steals and blocks. He took a bit of a step back offensively, scoring less than 15 points for just the third time in his last 10 outings, but that was to be expected due to the returns of both Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension). Even as the fourth option, Grimes demonstrated his value to the Sixers on both ends of the floor as the team looks to improve its standing ahead of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Will play Wednesday
Grimes (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis
An illness prevented Grimes from playing against the Thunder on Monday. The fifth-year pro has recovered enough to return Wednesday, and while he's started in each of his last 11 outings, it's unclear what his role will look like moving forward due to the return of Paul George from a 25-game suspension.
