Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) will miss a seventh straight game on Sunday versus the Celtics. The big man remains on the injury report with lower back spasms and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday in a matchup against Houston. Richaun Holmes should pick up another start at center on Sunday. He returned to the lineup from a toe injury Saturday against Chicago, logging 26 minutes. It was a quiet outing for Holmes, who registered only seven points and four rebounds. He should be capable of improving the numbers on Sunday, although it's a very tough matchup for Holmes and the Wizards.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (groin) will remain out for a third consecutive game on Saturday against Oklahoma City. Following a string of solid performances, Stevens picked up an adductor strain, leaving Memphis without another frontcourt option. The trio of Trey Jemison, GG Jackson II, and Jake LaRavia has put in a lot of work lately to make up for the absentees, and they could be heavily involved again on Saturday, depending on the fate of Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) and Santi Aldama (elbow). Both players are listed as questionable for the game.
