Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kennard is dealing with soreness in his right Achilles. The 28-year-old has not been very productive against the Thunder, scoring just 14 total points in 63 minutes. With Memphis fighting for their playoff lives on Saturday, and Ja Morant already ruled out, there could be a chance that Kennard sees more volume as the Grizzlies fight with desperation. However, the ceiling doesn't appear to be all that high. Fantasy managers and DFS players should be able to find better options elsewhere.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hip) is not expected to be in the lineup for Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. Sources have told ESPN that Morant will miss Game 4 due to the left hip injury he suffered in Thursday's Game 3 loss. Following his exit from Thursday's game, Morant was spotted on crutches in the tunnel, and he was unable to practice on Friday. Memphis received excellent minutes from Scotty Pippen Jr. in Thursday's loss, and his role is poised to grow even larger in Saturday's game. Meanwhile, Luke Kennard is anticipated to take Morant's spot in the starting lineup. The three-point specialist averaged 12.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals while starting during the regular season.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. scored a team-high 26 points on 10-for-17 shooting in Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson Jr. capped off his line with six rebounds as he bounced back impressively from his four-point effort in Game 1, going 2-for-3 from three-point land and 4-for-6 at the charity stripe. The two-time All-Star delivered an efficient scoring performance, yet he finished with the game's worst plus/minus at minus-20. Memphis needs much more from him defensively, as Jackson Jr. has yet to register a block in the series and has one steal across two games.
