Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) will sit out a third consecutive game on Wednesday versus Cleveland. A lower back contusion has sidelined the 24-year-old. Before suffering the injury, Bagley III had made a good start at his new club, averaging 15.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in eight games. With him unavailable, Eugene Omoruyi had a good showing off the bench on Sunday against Phoenix. However, it came in an ugly blowout, and the Wizards might have other plans for Wednesday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (wrist) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. This is good news for the Grizzlies who are already extremely banged up. Williams and Santi Aldama figure to play big roles in the rotation. The return of these two players should mean that Luke Kennard and GG Jackson head back to the bench. Despite that, both players should still have value in deep leagues even with a move to the second unit.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Jackson will sit out after being listed as doubtful heading into this game due to right hip soreness. The Grizzlies are extremely shorthanded right now. That means, Santi Aldama should see a significant role in the rotation. Also, GG Jackson, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Trey Jemison should be involved as well. Jackson is likely the best streaming option out of the bunch.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (calf) could be out for a second straight game on Tuesday, as the team considers him questionable for a clash with the Knicks. Konchar is bothered by a right calf contusion and landed on the shelf with several players at the weekend ahead of a meeting with Boston. Jacob Gilyard and Scotty Pippen Jr. benefited from the backcourt absentees. Both players put up decent numbers against the Celtics and could play a large part in the proceedings again on Tuesday if Memphis can't get any players back.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks, as the team considers him doubtful for the game. Jackson Jr. stepped out of the lineup Sunday versus Boston, allowing Trey Jemison to make his first career start. The 24-year-old rookie failed to impress, but he will likely get a new chance on Tuesday, as Memphis simply doesn't have many alternative frontcourt options due to injuries. Matt Hurt will also benefit from Jackson Jr.'s absence.
