Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) will be inactive against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. He is nursing a sore left wrist and has been ruled out for the contest after initially being considered questionable. Pippen Jr. has been among Memphis' most durable players and will be out for only the second time this season. Ja Morant (hamstring) is also sidelined, so the Grizzlies' backcourt will primarily depend on Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard. Additionally, Vince Williams Jr. may see an uptick in minutes off the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams appears ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to a right ankle issue. Williams has been fairly quiet recently with three straight games of seven points or less. The 24-year-old doesn't exactly have a big role in the rotation, but possibly he sees more minutes with Santi Aldama (calf) doubtful for this contest. Regardless, Williams is a fairly risky streaming option for Monday's slate.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It appears Pippen suffered a left wrist injury during Saturday's contest. Despite that, Pippen finished with 11 points, six rebounds, and 11 assists across 29 minutes of action. Fellow guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has already been ruled out, so Pippen should see an extended look once again, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Luke Kennard and Desmond Bane could be asked to play significant minutes if both Morant and Pippen are out.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Morant sat out on Saturday due to a shoulder issue, so it appears he is over that problem. Now, Morant will miss Monday's contest due to left hamstring tightness. When healthy, Morant is a stud as seen by his 44-point performance on Friday. Sadly, it hasn't been easy keeping it on the court lately considering this is his fourth absence this month. The absence of Morant should mean that Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) should have larger roles in the rotation. Both are worth a look as streaming options, but Pippen is the better of the two, assuming he's cleared to play.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against Miami. He's listed on the injury report because of shoulder soreness. However, with the Heat struggling, it's an ideal time for Morant to get the night off, especially after going for 44 points in 35 minutes on Friday versus the Cavaliers. Without him, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely handle things at the one, with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane in line for a bump in scoring opportunities.
