Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (knee) will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Clarke suffered a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee which will keep him sidelined. That means the 28-year-old will finish the season with averages of 8.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game across 64 appearances (18 starts). His minutes will likely get split up between Vince Williams Jr., Zach Edey, and Jay Huff until GG Jackson II comes back from his G League assignment. Williams and Edey are the most consistent of this group, especially for fantasy managers looking for points and rebounds.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/centerBrandon Clarke(knee) won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Clarke suffered a right knee injury during Wednesday's game against Portland. He played only five minutes in the contest, posting zero points and one rebound. His next chance to return to the court is Tuesday against the Jazz. While the 28-year-old is out of action, Zach EdeyandMarvin Bagley will take on the available minutes at center..

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Morant will miss his fourth game in a row due to a lingering left hamstring issue. The Grizzlies haven't given a good timetable for Morant, but his next chance to play will come on Tuesday. In the meantime, Luke Kennard should remain in the starting five on Friday. Kennard has been offering low-end streaming value, but Desmond Bane and Scotty Pippen Jr. are the better fantasy options right now.
