Santi Aldama DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) will play in Friday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. He was at risk of missing a third consecutive game after Memphis initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. Aldama has been one of the best bench players in the league this season, but he is set for a spell as a starter, with Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) out week-to-week. In previous games as a starter this term, Aldama has averaged 12.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (calf) has a chance to return from a two-game absence after being listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a calf strain after dropping a double-double on March 1 against the San Antonio Spurs. Over those couple of games that Aldama missed, Vince Williams Jr. and Brandon Clarke saw some added opportunities. Williams joined the starting lineup and posted 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal against the Thunder. Clarke, on the other hand, registered 13 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Both can be considered strong streaming options.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (calf) will not be able to play through his questionable tag in Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City, leaving the Grizzlies especially short-handed at forward. Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) was already out, so Aldama's absence will leave even more work for Brandon Clarke, GG Jackson II, and Vince Williams Jr. alongside Zach Edey, who could also be forced to play more minutes with both Jackson and Aldama out.
