Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) won't play on Sunday against the Celtics. The 24-year-old had 27 points off a game-high 21 attempts on Friday versus Golden State. He also had five boards, two steals, and two blocks. However, Jackson won't suit up because of a hip issue, which has bothered him for at least a few weeks. The Grizzlies injury report is loaded, so it's unknown who will take his spot in the lineup. But presumably, Jackson's minutes will be absorbed by Santi Aldama (tailbone) or Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee), assuming at least one can play.

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (concussion) will remain out on Sunday versus the Phoenix Suns. This will mark his second consecutive absence due to concussion protocol, so his next chance to play will be Wednesday against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. It's a tough break for Bagley, who's played well since his trade from the Detroit Pistons. However, until he's ready to return, some of his minutes should be absorbed by Daniel Gafford, with the 25-year-old posting a double-double in three of his previous four appearances.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) and Derrick Rose (hamstring) are expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kennard will make his way back to the court after a three-game absence. Rose is available for the third time since the middle of December. Both players are going to play on a minutes restriction during Friday's game. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jacob Gilyard figure to have decreased roles with Kennard and Rose back in the picture. However, the Grizzlies are banged up enough that Pippen should still have a significant role in the rotation. Fantasy managers should be cautious about putting Kennard or Rose in their lineups with them being limited on Friday.

Washington Wizards forward Marvin Bagley III (back) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Friday and will have to watch the home game against the Miami Heat. The 24-year-old saw some big minutes when he was first traded to the Wizards from the Detroit Pistons, but has since been moved to the bench and hasn't been on the floor for more than 20 minutes. In terms of team direction and success, the Wizards are sinking fast, but that usually opens minutes for a lot of players. That hasn't been the case for all of the younger guys on this team though. While Bagley is sidelined, Kyle Kuzma will likely get a bump in usage while Corey Kispert should see a bump in minutes as well.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Williams is back after sitting out Monday's game due to left knee soreness. The second-year forward should play heavy minutes with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now. That being said, Williams is worth rostering in most fantasy formats because he's asked to do more with the Grizzlies having multiple key players injured. David Roddy is expected to head to the bench with Williams back in the mix.
