Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) won't play against Washington on Tuesday. He has been taken out of the lineup with left patellar tendon soreness. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) also unavailable, this could again be a crush spot for GG Jackson II, who led the team with a career-high 30 points on Sunday versus Oklahoma City. Luke Kennard could also have a large say in the offense, particularly with the team short of backcourt options.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) won't face the Wizards on Tuesday. The team has ruled him out for the contest with right quadriceps tendonitis. Jackson Jr. steps out of the lineup after playing in three consecutive games, and he will miss a very good opportunity to stuff the stat sheet, as Washington has been awful against opposing bigs throughout the campaign. Trey Jemison could slide back into the starting unit without Jackson, while there's also a possibility of the team giving an extended look to Wenyen Gabriel, who's on a 10-day contract. Santi Aldama should get some burn at the center position as well, and he's by far the best fantasy option.

Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out on Tuesday versus Memphis. The 24-year-old suffered a back injury during a meeting with the Utah Jazz and has missed the last three games. Richaun Holmes (toe) had been getting extra work. However, Holmes is battling a big toe sprain, so he may not be available against the Grizzlies, either. If that's the case, the Wizards will likely play small, meaning Kyle Kuzma will slide over to the five spot, with Corey Kispert, who is coming off a 22-point effort, the favorite to remain in the starting lineup.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) is stepping out of the lineup on Sunday versus the Thunder. He was already doubtful for the contest, and the team has now officially ruled him out due to left Achilles soreness. Goodwin has been a starter for all of his last five appearances with the Grizzlies. On Sunday, the team will have a new-look starting five, with Luke Kennard, GG Jackson II, and LaRavia joining Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. Goodwill will get his first chance to return on Tuesday versus Washington, although the doubtful designation is a sign that he might not be close to being game-ready.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (ankle) won't feature against the Thunder on Sunday. The team has downgraded him from doubtful to out. Considering Konchar was initially doubtful for the game with right ankle soreness, he might have to sit out multiple games before being healthy enough to return to action. With Vince Williams Jr. (knee) and Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) also heading to the shelf on Sunday, the Grizzlies will roll out with three new starters compared to Friday's game against Atlanta. The returning Luke Kennard (knee) and GG Jackson II (knee), plus Jake LaRavia, are filling the spots.
