Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after missing the last six games due to a hamstring strain. The Grizzlies are comfortably sitting in the playoff picture. Yet, it didn't stop the team from firing head coach Taylor Jenkins on Friday. With that said, if Morant can't play, Scotty Pippen Jr., averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.7 steals in 20 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup, with Desmond Bane, Santi Aldama, and Jaren Jackson Jr. in line to see more scoring opportunities.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (shoulder) will be active for Thursday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is ready to rejoin the action after missing three games due to a shoulder issue. Stevens will provide bench depth for Memphis but is not expected to play a significant role in Thursday's contest. In nine appearances with the Grizzlies since joining the team in February, Stevens has posted 4.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game while logging 10.8 minutes of action.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (shoulder) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has injured his right shoulder, which has already forced him to miss the last three games. Stevens' absence impacts things very little, as he has averaged just 10.8 minutes over nine appearances this campaign. The former Cavalier began the season without a contract before signing a 10-day deal with the Grizzlies in February. After completing two 10-day stints, Stevens signed a standard contract for the remainder of the season. However, he is unlikely to see significant action as long as the frontcourt remains healthy.
