Santi Aldama DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) has received the green light to play on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. The Spaniard missed Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks due to an ankle issue. However, Aldama's name is not listed on the injury report on Tuesday. Although Aldama had a quiet finish to the regular season, it has overall been a successful campaign for him. Some of Aldama's best performances have come against the Warriors, as he averaged 14.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in 23.7 minutes against them during the regular season.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has recovered from a right calf strain, which kept Aldama sidelined for six consecutive games. With Aldama back, Brandon Clarke's workload will likely drop. The Spanish big man has been one of the best bench contributors in the Association this season, averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Portland is known for giving up a lot of bench points -- the fourth-most in the league -- which puts Aldama in a good position to enjoy a productive comeback on Wednesday night.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Sacramento Kings. He was initially deemed doubtful for the game, so it was always likely that Aldama would miss a sixth consecutive contest. His next chance to return will be on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Brandon Clarke and Lamar Stevens carry a heavier workload with Aldama absent from the lineup.
