Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He's in danger of missing a fourth consecutive contest. Trey Jemison has made two starts during Jackson Jr.'s absence, while Santi Aldama and Lamar Stevens have also benefited. With Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf for the 76ers, this could be a good matchup for the Grizzlies bigs. Memphis will also face a tired team after Philadelphia suffered a 112-107 road loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Jackson will miss his third straight contest due to right quad tendonitis, and the injury is starting to become a concern for the star big man's shutdown risk as the 20-41 Grizzlies continue to fall out of the playoff picture. The 24-year-old two-time blocks champion hasn't been as good in nine-category fantasy leagues with so much usage on his plate, but over his last 21 appearances, he's averaging 25.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.7 combined steals and blocks. Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers is Jackson's next chance to play. Santi Aldama remains in line for heavy minutes, taking averages of 10.6 points, 5.8 boards, 2.9 dimes, and 2.0 threes over his last 16 showings into a tough matchup against a Nets team allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing power forwards.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) isn't expected to play on Monday in Brooklyn. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has missed the previous two games because of a quadriceps issue. It's unlikely the Grizzlies will rush him back, considering the team is a long shot to make the postseason. At any rate, until Jackson is back on the floor, Lamar Stevens could remain in the starting lineup. However, Stevens isn't a consistent scorer, making him hard to trust for fantasy purposes.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies will get some reinforcements with both Kennard and John Konchar (thumb) available to play on Saturday. Kennard figures to move back into the starting five which will shift Jordan Goodwin to the bench. Konchar will likely remain in a bench role and doesn't have a great path to value with Ziaire Williams doing well as a starter.
Memphis Grizzlies guards Luke Kennard (illness) and John Konchar (thumb) have both been listed as doubtful ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is likely going to be Konchar's third consecutive missed game and Kennard's second. With a team as banged up as the Grizzlies, they would have both seen around 20 minutes or more if they were able to suit up, but it looks like the youth movement will continue. While they watch from the sidelines, Vince Williams Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and GG Jackson II (questionable - quad) would all be quality streaming options regardless of fantasy league size or format.
