Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (foot) has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Monday's contest against Detroit. He will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Konchar absent, Scotty Pippen Jr. will continue to start for the Grizzlies, with Jordan Goodwin and Luke Kennard also in a position to play larger roles on the backcourt. The Pistons have been the worst team in the Association this season, and Memphis should do plenty of damage against them on Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (illness) will be available on Monday versus Detroit. He missed Saturday's clash with an illness and had a questionable tag entering Monday, but the team has upgraded him to available. Aldama plays a big role on the Grizzlies' frontcourt. He averaged 13.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks with 2.2 made three-pointers in March. Aldama's return sends Jake LaRavia back to the bench, but he should still be a decent piece for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be absent for an 11th consecutive game on Monday against the Pistons. He's continuing to nurse a left knee injury. The 23-year-old out of VCU will get his next opportunity to return on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. Memphis also won't have Desmond Bane (back) on Monday, and John Konchar (foot) will likely miss another game, meaning we should see a lot of Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, GG Jackson II, and Jake LaRavia again. The young Grizzlies have played well in recent weeks, although they tend to be inconsistent.

Memphis Grizzlies forward John Konchar (foot) is considered doubtful for the second game in a row while he deals with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. This type of injury usually takes a while to fully heal, so it might be a while until Konchar can return to game action. He's headed to his fourth consecutive missed game and the Grizzlies are already eliminated from playoff contention. While he watches from the sidelines, Luke Kennard and Scottie Pippen Jr. are the two starters that would make the best streaming options. Lamar Stevens and Jordan Goodwin should get some added minutes off of the bench but are riskier options.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Detroit Pistons. The illness knocked him out of their last game against the Orlando Magic which ended up being a 30-point blowout loss. Now, he's earned a questionable tag instead of a doubtful status like their last game. Aldama has provided solid scoring and rebound numbers when he plays since he joins the starting five due to all of the injury issues on the roster. If he plays, he should see the same role. If has to watch from the sidelines, GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Jaren Jackson Jr. should remain the starters in the frontcourt.
