Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies will get some reinforcements with both Kennard and John Konchar (thumb) available to play on Saturday. Kennard figures to move back into the starting five which will shift Jordan Goodwin to the bench. Konchar will likely remain in a bench role and doesn't have a great path to value with Ziaire Williams doing well as a starter.

Memphis Grizzlies guards Luke Kennard (illness) and John Konchar (thumb) have both been listed as doubtful ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is likely going to be Konchar's third consecutive missed game and Kennard's second. With a team as banged up as the Grizzlies, they would have both seen around 20 minutes or more if they were able to suit up, but it looks like the youth movement will continue. While they watch from the sidelines, Vince Williams Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and GG Jackson II (questionable - quad) would all be quality streaming options regardless of fantasy league size or format.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The stud forward will sit this game out while he continues to nurse his quad injury. The Grizzlies aren't competitive right now, so it's not shocking to see them being cautious with their star forward. Trey Jemison has been inactive lately with Jackson back in the mix. He could become a relevant player with the Grizzlies still fairly banged up heading into Friday's game.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) will not suit up against the Timberwolves on Wednesday. He will miss his second consecutive contest due to the injury. In his absence, the 22-year-old Jake LaRavia could see a lot more action than he did on Monday against the Nets with Luke Kennard (illness) ruled out. Jordan Goodwin and Lamar Stevens could also see more minutes in the Grizzlies' rotation.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (thumb) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's action against the Timberwolves. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest with a left thumb sprain. Jake LaRavia saw a lot of extra action without Konchar on Monday versus Brooklyn and could get further opportunities on Wednesday, especially with Luke Kennard (illness) already ruled out. The likes of Jordan Goodwin and Lamar Stevens could also land in larger roles, although the Grizzlies rotation tends to be very unpredictable.
