Desmond Bane Won't Play Versus The Knicks

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the New York Knicks. The 25-year-old logged 23 minutes on Friday versus the Clippers. However, his night ended because of a sprained ankle after stepping on Kawhi Leonard's foot near the end of the third quarter. It's a tough situation for Memphis, considering Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the year, and Marcus Smart (finger) is sidelined for six weeks. Even worse, Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) isn't expected to suit up on Saturday night, meaning guys like David Roddy, Luke Kennard, Ziaire Williams, Vince Williams Jr., and Xavier Tillman Sr. should get all the minutes they can handle.

Jaren Jackson Jr. Unlikely To Play Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) isn't expected to play on Saturday against the visiting Knicks. Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the year, and Marcus Smart (finger) will miss at least six weeks. To make matters worse, Desmond Bane (ankle) won't suit up after tweaking his ankle on Friday night versus the Clippers, so the team will need to go deep into the rotation. As a result, Luke Kennard, David Roddy, Xavier Tillman Sr., Jacob Gilyard, Vince Williams Jr., and Ziaire Williams are all worth considering in any fantasy format on Saturday night, considering each player should see plenty of minutes and scoring chances.

LeBron James Won't Play On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) isn't available for Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. The multi-time MVP logged 24 minutes in Thursday's blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns, ending the night with 10 points off a rough 3-for-11 shooting. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle in that one, so his absence could extend into Monday's meeting with OKC. That said, Anthony Davis (ankle) is the favorite to lead the team in scoring without James on the floor. At the same time, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince could see a significant increase in scoring chances, even more so if D'Angelo Russell (knee) isn't in the lineup.

Tyler Herro Questionable Against The Hornets

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Charlotte Hornets. The 23-year-old is averaging a career-high 22.4 points and 41.2% shooting from deep this season. However, he's battled various ailments throughout the 2023-24 campaign, most recently sitting out Friday's win over the Orlando Magic because of a shoulder injury. Duncan Robinson got the start in that one, amassing 23 points in 41 minutes. With this in mind, if Herro doesn't suit up on Sunday, Robinson's fantasy potential will improve significantly.

Jimmy Butler Doubtful Versus Charlotte

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's clash with Charlotte. The 24-year-old continues to battle a sprained toe, an injury that's kept him out of the lineup for Miami's previous six contests. Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kevin Love (knee) are questionable, meaning the Heat may rely on Duncan Robinson, Bam Adebayo, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. for most of the production on the scoring end, with the trio combining for 63 points in Friday's three-point win over the Orlando Magic. Fortunately, Kyle Lowry (hand) could be back, although managers can't trust him in any fantasy format.
