Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in clash against the Golden State Warriors. Morant did not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks due to a shoulder issue. The Grizzlies superstar was on fire during the final stretch of the regular season and will be expected to carry that form into Tuesday's high-stakes game. This month, Morant has averaged 30.2 points and 5.8 assists with over 41 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday versus Detroit. He wasn't listed on the injury report throughout the day on Saturday. However, Morant won't suit up due to an illness. The late scratch is certainly frustrating for DFS participants and fantasy managers. But his absence should result in increased production from Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Scotty Pippen Jr.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) remains questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers after missing the last six games because of a hamstring strain. However, on a wider scale, with the team relieving Taylor Jenkins of his head coaching duties, there are now questions about Morant's future with the organization, specifically, whether he wants to remain in Memphis. The front office has made it known in the past that the multi-time All-Star isn't on the block. But even if Morant wanted to be moved this offseason, "at least two league executives" have questioned his value from rival clubs around the National Basketball Association. Without question, the 25-year-old has MVP potential. Unfortunately, he's had trouble staying on the floor throughout his career due to injuries and off-the-court incidents. His production has also dipped this season, averaging 22.3 points, his lowest since the 2020-21 campaign. While the new offense that was installed is a big reason why Morant has suffered on the scoring end, his inability to stay healthy has also severely compromised his worth for fantasy managers.

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.
