Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. scores team-high 21 points
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 6:19 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with 21 points (8-of-14 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four three-pointers against the Pistons on Monday.
Analysis: Jackson set his season-high for scoring in a second straight game. After scoring 20 points against Toronto on Sunday, he exceeded that mark against Detroit as the Grizzlies dropped a third straight game. Jackson's scoring has been down early on this season, mostly due to seeing fewer shot attempts. However, he's shooting efficiently, which helps make up for the lack of volume. He'll look to make it three straight 20-point outings when they take on the Rockets on Wednesday. |

Ja Morant Morant scores 18 points despite no âjoy'
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 6:12 PM
Damichael Cole
Ja Morant returned to the lineup on Monday and contributed 18 points (5-of-16 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and five turnovers in a 114-106 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: After serving a one-game suspension for âconduct detrimental to the teamâ, Morant returned to his role as the Grizzlies' starting point guard. It was a subpar shooting night, but he was able to record a double-double. After the game, he was asked if he has his usual joy, and he said âno.â Clearly, the saga in Memphis will continue, though winning does seems to cure all. Unfortunately, the schedule doesn't get any easier, with the Rockets up next on the schedule on Wednesday. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant back in starting lineup in return
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 1:40 PM
Drew Hill
Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale will start against the Pistons on Monday.
Analysis: Morant will be back in the starting lineup after serving a one-game suspension. His return will push Cam Spencer back to the bench after an unproductive start against Toronto. If Spencer was streamed in, he can be returned to the waiver wire. |

Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. scores 20 points Sunday vs. TOR
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 3:03 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. tallied 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer on Sunday against the Raptors.
Analysis: JJJ scored a team-high in points on a night in which the Grizzlies were without their leading scorer, Ja Morant. With the efficient shooting, Jackson Jr. was able to reach the 20-point mark for the first time this season. The former Defensive Player of the Year didn't land any stocks in this game, however, which has now happened in back-to-back games and for the third time already this season. The Grizzlies, and fantasy managers, would likely benefit from Jackson Jr. returning to last year's form. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale posts 14 points, six boards vs. TOR
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:59 PM
Jock Landale finished Sunday's loss to the Raptors with 14 points (6-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Landale continues to provide the Grizzlies with solid production at the starting center spot. He shot efficiently and turned in another double-digit scoring performance on the heels of a 16-point game against the Lakers. Sunday marked his third time within the past seven days that he's reached at least 14 points and had multiple three-point makes in a game. Landale appears to have some comfort in this Memphis offense, sharing the starting frontcourt alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. He has served as a nice starting center while Memphis deals with injuries. |

Vince Williams Vince Williams posts 14/3/3 line off bench vs. TOR
Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 2:57 PM
Vince Williams logged 14 points (5-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in the loss to the Raptors on Sunday.
Analysis: Williams had better production in his second appearance of the season and was one of several Grizzlies players to provide value off the bench against the Raptors on Sunday. In just 21 minutes of action, his efficient shooting and contributions from beyond the arc allowed him to finish as one of Memphis' top scorers on the evening, while also concluding as one of the team's better facilitators. As Williams logs more game reps after a heel injury forced him to miss the beginning of the season, there's a chance his workload and production could increase going forward. |

Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 11:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
GG Jackson (illness) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Jackson was unavailable for Friday's loss to the Lakers, but his absence had a limited impact on the Grizzlies' rotation. That will likely remain the case on Sunday, even with the Grizzlies suspending point guard Ja Morant for a game due to conduct detrimental to the team. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant suspended for detrimental conduct
Sat, Nov 1, 2025, 10:08 AM
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies have suspended Ja Morant one game for conduct detrimental to the team.
Analysis: Morant's suspension stems from comments made following Friday's loss to the Lakers. The Grizzlies' point guard had a disappointing performance, shooting 3-of-14 from the field and finishing with eight points, one rebound, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes. When asked about his struggles, Morant told the assembled media to âgo ask the coaching staff.â According to , Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo challenged Morant's leadership following the game, to which the point guard responded in a way that prompted the suspension. He'll miss Sunday's game against the Raptors, making Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr. players to consider grabbing off the waiver wire. |

Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. has 15 points in loss to Lakers
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 6:28 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. had 15 points (6-of-8 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers against the Lakers on Friday.
Analysis: Jackson isn't the offensive catalyst that Ja Morant is for the Grizzlies, but he's certainly one of the teams' best players. The 26-year-old power forward had just two points in the second half as Memphis blew a 14-point halftime lead to the Lakers on Friday. Jackson was also fairly quiet in the other categories as he had four rebounds, one assist and no blocks or steals before he fouled out. He could stand to be more assertive on offense as he only took eight shots in the game while Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Santi Aldama, Cedric Coward and Vince Williams Jr. all took more in a close loss. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant struggles with eight points in loss
Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 6:22 PM
Ja Morant had eight points (3-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, seven assists and one steal against the Lakers on Friday.
Analysis: The Grizzlies were up by 14 at halftime, but Morant had trouble scoring all night and outright failed to score in the second half. The 26-year-old point guard is playing through an ankle injury, which could be contributing to him scoring above 23 points only twice in six games. Morant isn't known for his three-point shooting, but he's 5-for-30 from behind the three-point line so far. Overall, he's had two good games out of six and he needs to be more consistent and efficient on offense. |

Fri, Oct 31, 2025, 1:42 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
GG Jackson (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Friday's game, Jackson has been ruled out due to an illness. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, as he isn't guaranteed to be in the rotation when healthy. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama contributes 14/10/5/3 line vs. PHO
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 7:21 PM
Santi Aldama accounted for 14 points (6-of-12 FGs), 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Not only did Aldama match his season-high point total on Wednesday, but he also recorded his first double-double of the season. Rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Despite coming off the bench, Aldama has value in some 12-team leagues. Memphis still has two games during Week 2, starting with the Lakers on Friday. |

Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. posts 18/6/3/3/1 line vs. PHO
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 7:19 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. amassed 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Jackson has been consistent on offense, scoring between 16 and 19 points in each of the Grizzlies' five games. However, that has not been the case on the boards. After totaling five rebounds in games against the Heat and Pacers, he's grabbed 13 over the last two games. The Grizzlies need a bit more from Jackson in that category as they await the returns of Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke. And a consistently productive Jackson on the boards would also benefit fantasy managers. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant scores 28, hits game-winner vs. Phoenix
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 6:52 PM
NBA
Ja Morant shot 10-of-19 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line in Wednesday's win over the Suns, scoring 28 points with eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: While Morant did commit six turnovers, he shot over 50 percent from the field and made the game's biggest shot. With 7.3 seconds remaining, his floater gave the Grizzlies a 114-113 lead that would stand as the final score after a Devin Booker miss. Morant's 28 points are the most he's scored in a game since the opener, when he dropped 35 on the Pelicans. The lingering concern for Morant is that he's likely due for an extended absence at some point. However, he's had no issues thus far after missing the preseason with an ankle injury. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama, Vince Williams Jr. available Weds.
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 3:10 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama (shoulder) and Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) are available for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Aldama's availability is more critical to the Grizzlies and fantasy managers than Williams', as he's guaranteed to play quality rotation minutes. Starting center Jock Landale will miss out on a potential increase in his playing time with Aldama available. As for Williams, he's unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball, with Wednesday's game being his first of the season. |

Vince Williams Vince Williams Jr. (heel) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 2:13 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Vince Williams Jr. (heel) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Williams has yet to appear in a game this season, but that may change on Wednesday. While he can provide additional depth on the perimeter, Williams is unlikely to get the run needed to impact fantasy basketball. Leave him on the waiver wire. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (shoulder) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Oct 28, 2025, 2:08 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Aldama is dealing with a sore left shoulder, hence his inclusion on the injury report. If he's unable to play, starting center Jock Landale may play more, but he is not a must-stream player. Landale only played 24 minutes in Monday's loss to the Warriors. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale scores 17 points in loss to Warriors
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 7:42 PM
Jock Landale totaled 17 points (6-of-6 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers against the Warriors on Monday.
Analysis: Landale made his fourth start and set a new season-high in points during his 24 minutes of game action. His production came with a perfect shooting percentage and was highlighted by his first game of the season with multiple three-point makes. Landale provides a unique offensive skill set to the Grizzlies' starting unit, and he'll have a chance to put together back-to-back strong outings on Wednesday against the Suns. |

Jaren Jackson JJJ scores 16 points, grabs seven boards vs. GSW
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 7:34 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. added 16 points (4-of-9 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in the loss to the Warriors on Monday.
Analysis: Jackson Jr. did the bulk of his scoring in the beginning and end of Monday's contest, but really struggled to make an impact on offense during the middle two quarters. He still found a way to score at least 15 points for the fourth time in as many games to begin the season, but tallied a season-low in points while shooting under 50.0 percent from the field for the first time. Jackson Jr. has yet to log a dominant performance on offense, but his next opportunity to do so will be on Wednesday against the Suns. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant scores 23, dishes nine assists vs. GSW
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 7:18 PM
Ja Morant added 23 points (8-of-23 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in Monday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: Inefficient shooting prevented Morant from a more stellar stat line on Monday ??" he made fewer than half of his two-pointers and missed all of his six attempts from beyond the arc. The superstar guard was able to take advantage of the free-throw line, however, and impressed as a facilitator throughout the game. Ultimately, he finished just one assist shy of the double-double against the Warriors but will have a chance to log his first of the season against the Suns on Wednesday. |
