Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been cleared to return to action against the 76ers on Wednesday. He'll get back to work after sitting out three games with a right quadriceps issue. Jackson Jr.'s return is set to push Trey Jemison back to the bench, where his fantasy value will be non-existent. Meanwhile, Jackson Jr. himself could be in for a feast, as Philadelphia remains without Joel Embiid (knee), and the visitors will likely have a tough time guarding the Grizzlies big man. In his last appearance, Jackson Jr. had an outstanding game against Minnesota's tough defense with a 33-point, 13-rebound double-double, and his overall productivity had been trending up before he got hurt.

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.

Washington Wizards center/power forward Marvin Bagley III (back) is officially ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Bagley left Washington's previous game on Monday against the Utah Jazz after lower back spasms forced him out. A mid-season trade from the Detroit Pistons to Washington gave Bagley more importance for the Wizards, with averages of 13.5 points and 8.6 rebounds in 25.2 minutes per game. Richaun Holmes and Eugene Omoruyi are the Washington backups to likely see an increase in minutes in his absence. There's also a chance Kyle Kuzma slides over to the five spot, allowing more action for Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert.

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.
