Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as doubtful heading toward Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He didn't suit up when the Grizzlies met the Rockets on Thursday night, so it appears the right shoulder soreness will keep him off the floor for at least another game. Luke Kennard, who got the start on Thursday versus Houston and finished with 22 points, will presumably continue to fill the void at the one if Morant is officially ruled out, with Scotty Pippen Jr. coming in for relief.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. Head coach Taylor Jenkins said Morant suffered a right shoulder injury in practice and is now dealing with the soreness. That being said, fantasy managers should consider Morant as day-to-day which makes him questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The absence of Morant means that Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. should see an increase in playing time. Kennard is the slightly better streaming option right now after a few 20-plus point outings last week.

Memphis Grizzlies point guardJa Morant(shoulder) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets due to soreness in his right shoulder. Morant has dealt with various ailments throughout the season, playing in 28 of the Grizzlies' 47 games. If the superstar guard is officially out, Scotty Pippen will likely start, while Luke Kennard coming off the bench will see more playing time. Kennard finished with seven points, two rebounds, and seven assists in 19 minutes on the floor in Monday's loss to the Knicks.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (illness) will return from a two-game absence on Monday against the New York Knicks. He has missed a pair of games due to an illness, but Memphis has upgraded him from questionable to available. Aldama will work as a reserve big off the bench behind Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey. He has limited fantasy value, with the entire Grizzlies frontcourt healthy.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the New York Knicks after missing the team's last two contests. The Spaniard has a bit more competition for minutes since the team has gotten healthier, but h's carved out a role that sees around 24 minutes per game. If he's forced to remain on the sidelines, GG Jackson II has been a rising fantasy candidate as he gets some more minutes, and Zach Edey continues to deliver some strong big-man stats for category leagues like he did on Saturday with 19 points, seven rebounds, four blocks, and two steals.
