Memphis Grizzlies

Western Southwest


GG Jackson II scored 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3P, 1-3 FT) with 8 rebounds, three assists, and a steal in the Grizzlies' 128-114 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: The young forward bounced back after a down game against Phoenix, and has now had good performances in three of his last four games. He's still working his way back after missing most of the season so far, so it will take time to get him back up to speed.

Santi Aldama scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3P) with five rebounds, seven assists, and a block in the Grizzlies' 128-114 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Aldama had an efficient game off the bench for Memphis, hitting four threes. He's been a solid player in the second unit for them this season, but his inconsistency makes him a tough player to trust in fantasy lineups.

Desmond Bane posted 20 points (6-of-13 FG, 2-of-5 3PT, 6-of-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, and one steal across 35 minutes in Tuesday’s 119-112 victory over Phoenix.

Fantasy Impact: Bane followed up his 20-point outing on Monday with another strong performance, showing no signs of lingering issues after missing two games with an ankle sprain. His eight rebounds were a nice bonus for fantasy managers, and his role in the offense remains secure. With no reported minutes restriction, Bane should continue providing solid all-around production as Memphis fights to stay competitive in the Western Conference.

Jaren Jackson Jr. finished Tuesday’s 119-112 win over Phoenix with 17 points (6-of-17 FG, 0-of-5 3PT, 5-of-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block, and two steals in 34 minutes.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson struggled with his shot on Tuesday, especially from beyond the arc, but he remained a key presence for Memphis on both ends of the floor. While his defensive contributions continue to be a major asset, fantasy managers should keep an eye on the emerging roles of Santi Aldama and Brandon Clarke. Both players have been more involved recently, which could slightly impact Jackson’s overall workload. Despite this, he remains a top-tier fantasy option, particularly for those in need of defensive stats.

Fantasy Impact: The Grizzlies recently traded for Bagley, but he is still recovering from an ankle injury and will not be available to make his debut for them on Tuesday. He will likely be sidelined into the All-Star Break at least, and it remains to be seen whether or not he will miss time beyond that.

Fantasy Impact: Davis will not be able to make his debut for the Grizzlies on Tuesday. He was recently traded to them, and he hasn't been there long enough to take the court for them yet. His debut may have to wait until after the All-Star Break.

John Konchar (shoulder) will be active for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Konchar was among several Grizzlies who were at risk of missing Wednesday's game due to injury, but he has been cleared to play against the Raptors. He may see more work than usual with Desmond Bane (ankle) set to be out for Memphis in this matchup.

Brandon Clarke (back) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Clarke missed Memphis' last game due to a back injury, but he is set to suit up and play in Memphis' game on Wednesday. It appears that his injury isn't serious at this point, so that shouldn't be much of a factor in fantasy managers' decision about whether or not to start him.

Zach Edey scored 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go with 14 rebounds and three steals in Monday's 128-109 win over the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie had himself a nice night on Monday. He scored 16 points, and he was able to pair a team-high 14 rebounds with that to log a quality double-double. He is a bit inconsistent on a game-to-game basis but is still a worthwhile fantasy option because of ceiling games like this one.

Luke Kennard delivered an exceptional performance in Memphis’ 139-126 win over New Orleans on Friday, contributing 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 27 minutes.

Fantasy Impact: Kennard has stepped up in recent games, especially when filling in for Ja Morant. His 27 points and seven triples on Friday marked a season-high, showcasing his elite efficiency as a shooter. Over the past two weeks, Kennard has delivered 6th-round value in 8-cat formats, fueled by his scoring outbursts, including a 23-point effort in Morant’s last appearance. Currently rostered in just 21% of Yahoo leagues, Kennard is a valuable streaming option, particularly if his hot streak continues and his role remains expanded.

Jay Huff scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3PT) and grabbed two rebounds across just seven minutes in Wednesday's 132-120 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: The Grizzlies allotted Huff only seven minutes of action on Wednesday, but he made the most of them by scoring 13 points on good shooting splits. He doesn't see enough work to be a consistent fantasy option, but he could earn more minutes for himself if he keeps playing well and rookie Zach Edey keeps underwhelming.

Category: Game Recaps


Scotty Pippen Jr. contributed 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3PT, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, five steals, and one block across 28 minutes in the Grizzlies' victory.

Fantasy Impact: Pippen Jr.'s versatility and knack for defensive stats enhance his appeal in fantasy leagues. His ability to contribute in points, assists, and steals makes him a valuable multi-category player, especially for managers in need of defensive production. With his growing role in the rotation, Pippen Jr. is a player to watch in deeper leagues.

Jaylen Wells recorded 17 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3PT, 10-11 FT), 10 rebounds, and one assist over 35 minutes in the win over the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Wells' contributions on the boards and his ability to draw fouls make him a solid fantasy option in deeper leagues. While his shooting efficiency was low in this contest, his consistent role in the rotation ensures regular opportunities to provide value, particularly in points and rebounds.
