Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) will remain sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings. He couldn't play on Saturday versus OKC due to shin soreness and will continue to sit against Sacramento with the same issue. Pippen Jr. has played well when he's been available, but that hasn't happened too often lately. He had just missed a month of action with a back problem before hurting his left shin. With Desmond Bane now back in the lineup, there will be fewer opportunities for Pippen Jr., whose number of appearances has also been affected by his two-way contract.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (personal) won't be in the lineup on Monday versus Sacramento. After playing in seven of the last eight games, Kennard needs to take some time off for personal reasons. The sweet-shooting 27-year-old has been a regular starter lately, meaning another change in the first unit is coming on Monday for the Grizzlies. John Konchar is the likeliest player to step into the role. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rush into picking up Konchar, as he tends to drift through games with his contributions not showing up on the box score.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is considered doubtful to play against Sacramento on Monday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old was riding great momentum as one of the focal points of the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return to action will take away shots from Williams Jr. once he's eventually ready to return to the court. It looks like it won't be the case on Monday, which gives GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia further opportunities to impress. Monday's matchup is a great one for the pair against a run-and-gun team that doesn't defend well.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has been cleared to play after sitting out during Wednesday's game due to a right quad issue. Trey Jemison should shift back to the second unit with Jackson returning on Saturday. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Jackson back in their lineups for Saturday's slate.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bane will make his long-awaited return considering he hasn't played in a game since the middle of January. It wouldn't be shocking at all to see Bane under a strict minutes limit for a few games. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel fine about getting him back in their lineups. Although, DFS players might want to wait until he's back to full speed before deploying him.
