Memphis Grizzlies DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Heat. He logged 35 minutes in Friday's 133-124 loss to the Cavs, exploding for 44 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, the Grizzlies need to keep Morant healthy for the postseason, meaning there's a good chance he'll sit out on Saturday. If that's the case, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely handle things at the one, with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane in line to lead the team in scoring.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) will play on Friday versus Cleveland. He suffered a sprained ankle in the March 3 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. As a result, the 25-year-old missed the last five games. Before going down, Jackson was having an excellent season, averaging 22.7 points, a career-high, with 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 steals. It's unknown if he'll see a minutes restriction. However, Jackson should be back starting in all fantasy lineups, with GG Jackson II heading back to the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/centerSanti Aldama(calf) will remain out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a right calf strain. Friday's contest will be the sixth he's missed in the last seven due to the injury. Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) is questionable, so the Grizzlies could potentially have a light frontcourt this evening. Vince Williams,Brandon Clarke, GG Jackson, and Zach Edey will likely be relied upon to fill the void during tonight's matchup.
