Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out again on Friday and will remain on the sidelines with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. This will be his 13th consecutive game missed after becoming a surprising rotational mainstay this season. Williams is likely part of the team's future, so they're not going to risk him injuring his knee any further. In the meantime, Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and Lamar Stevens have all been solid streaming options. Each one of them can garner some DFS interest as well given the better matchup.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (foot) will miss another game on Friday after getting ruled out due to right foot soreness. At this part of the season, the Grizzlies are ready to call it a year and get a top pick to add to their young core. Aldama has been in and out of the lineup over the last few games, so his inconsistent playing time isn't helping any fantasy teams that are still playing. GG Jackson II, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jake LaRavia have been the best streaming options in the Grizzlies' frontcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies guard John Konchar (heel) will not play in Friday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his sixth straight game as he continues to be hampered by plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Konchar last played against the Spurs on March 22, and it is unclear when he will return to action. Injuries are nothing new for the Grizzlies this season, and Friday will be another tough game, as Desmond Bane (back), Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps), and Santi Aldama (foot) are already ruled out for Friday, too. Memphis will likely continue to count on Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson II to take on prominent roles.

Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Trail Blazers. Despite battling various ailments since arriving in Washington, Bagley has played well, averaging 13.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. He's considered week-to-week, meaning his year is likely over. But with Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable for Friday night, Tristan Vukcevic, who had 15 points, three boards, and one block on Wednesday against the Lakers, could enter the DFS value conversation.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old has been in and out of the lineup all season for various reasons. He is currently battling left-knee soreness, and with the Grizzlies playing on back-to-back days, Kennard will get Friday off to rest. The sharpshooter had suited up for three straight games, playing more than 25 minutes in each contest. If he is ruled out, Memphis will likely rely on Jordan Goodwin and Jake LaRavia to play more minutes.
