Shams Charania
Due to inclement weather, the NBA has postponed Sunday's game between the Nuggets and Grizzlies.

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) out Sunday vs. Denver
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 12:44 PM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Sunday's game will be the third that Aldama has missed with a sore right knee. Jock Landale started Friday's loss to the Pelicans and had one of his best games of the season, tallying 24 points and 11 rebounds as part of a complete stat line. He's worth streaming while Aldama is out. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant (elbow) to miss three weeks with sprain
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 5:07 AM
Grizzlies PR
Ja Morant (elbow) is out for at least three weeks.
Analysis: Morant suffered a UCL sprain in his left (non-shooting) elbow during Wednesday's loss to the Hawks. The injury is expected to sideline the 26-year-old point guard for at least the next three weeks, at which point he'll be reevaluated. Cam Spencer started in Morant's place Friday and had 21 points and 11 assists, making him a legitimate fantasy option while Morant is out. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (personal) starts, posts 24/11 line
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 5:07 PM
Jock Landale (personal) finished with 24 points (11-of-18 FGs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the Pelicans on Friday.
Analysis: Landale was one of several productive Grizzlies on Friday. He scored well both inside and outside the arc while making a difference on the glass. As a result, the fifth-year center came away with a big double-double in his 32 minutes of game action. Landale has easily put together his best statistical season as an NBA player and has proven to be a nice fit alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. in the frontcourt. He'll have a chance to land a third straight double-double on Friday against the Nuggets. |

Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. has 26/12 double-double vs. NOP
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 4:59 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. recorded 26 points (7-of-18 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal, four blocks and two three-pointers in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday.
Analysis: Despite some inefficient shooting, mostly beyond the arc, Jackson took advantage of the charity stripe and worked his way past the 25-point mark for the third time in January. The former Defensive Player of the Year also impacted the game as a shot blocker and used active hands to walk away from this one with five stocks. Additionally, Jackson reached double figures in rebounding for the first time this month, which resulted in his third double-double of the season. Friday served as a nice bounce-back performance for him. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (personal) available vs. New Orleans

Damichael Cole
Jock Landale (personal) is available to play against the Pelicans on Friday.
Analysis: Landale was a late addition to the injury report, but he will be able to suit up in this game. He has come off the bench during their last two games, but he has played significant minutes regardless, which should continue in this game. |

Ty Jerome Iisalo: Ty Jerome doing 5-on-5 work in practice
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 12:31 PM
Damichael Cole
Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo said Ty Jerome (calf) is doing 5-on-5 work in practice.
Analysis: Iisalo also said Jerome needs to âbuild up over the next week or two,â but he is âvery close.â Jerome has yet to make his debut for Memphis after injuring his calf in the preseason finale. He still may not return until closer to the All-Star break, but he will eventually fill out some of the backcourt minutes for the Grizzlies. However, it seems likely that Ja Morant will remain with Memphis for the rest of the season, so there isn't much upside for Jerome unless there is an injury in front of him. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale (personal) questionable Friday
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 8:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jock Landale (personal) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Pelicans.
Analysis: Landale started Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, but his potential absence could open up more playing time for John Konchar, with GG Jackson potentially moving into the starting five. With Zach Edey and Santi Aldama both out, Memphis' frontcourt rotation is razor thin. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) out Friday vs. New Orleans
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:11 PM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Aldama will miss a second consecutive game due to soreness in his right knee. Jock Landale moved into the starting lineup for Wednesday's loss to the Hawks and should retain that role. Due to the lack of frontcourt depth, Landale is worth streaming. |
|
Ja Morant Ja Morant (elbow) out Friday vs. New Orleans
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 12:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ja Morant (elbow) is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Due to a sprained UCL in his left (non-shooting) elbow, Morant will not play on Friday. Cam Spencer is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup, but there have been times when Vince Williams Jr. received the nod instead. Regardless of who head coach Tuomas Iisalo decides to go with, Spencer offers a considerably higher fantasy upside. |

Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. plagued by foul trouble vs. ATL
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:17 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. recorded 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Since grabbing 12 rebounds in a December 30 loss to the 76ers, Jackson has recorded six rebounds or more in three of his last nine appearances. That includes Wednesday's six-rebound performance, one that was plagued by foul trouble. And the fouls weren't limited to the defensive end of the floor, as there were a couple called due to illegal screens. Jackson has been a top-50 player over the past two weeks, and having Ja Morant on the floor should help, but the rebounding and fouls need to be cleaned up. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant records 23 points, 12 assists vs. ATL
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 5:16 PM
Ja Morant accumulated 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, 12 assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Playing stateside for the first time since January 2, Morant finished Wednesday's defeat with his third double-double in as many appearances and eighth of the season. The Grizzlies' point guard had a chance to win the game in the final seconds, but his three-point attempt missed the mark. Morant did commit five turnovers, but that was the lone negative. Overall, he's been very good in his first two games back from injury, a positive development for those who have Morant rostered. |

John Konchar MEM starts Morant, Wells, Coward, Konchar, Jackson
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 1:39 PM
NBA Lineups
Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, John Konchar and Jaren Jackson Jr. will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: The Grizzlies are without Santi Aldama for Wednesday's game, as he has been sidelined by a knee injury. However, instead of starting a center (Jock Landale) alongside Jackson, the Grizzlies are going with Konchar. He can provide rebounding production, but should not be considered a must-stream player. And Memphis will need JJJ to step up as a rebounder, something that has rarely happened this season. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) downgraded to out Wednesday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 1:13 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Aldama was downgraded to doubtful earlier Wednesday afternoon, so his absence is unsurprising. Jock Landale will likely return to the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. He's worth streaming in that role. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) doubtful Wednesday vs. ATL
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 7:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks.
Analysis: Aldama's looming absence should mean Jock Landale will return to the starting lineup. Landale scored 21 points off the bench in his last game out, and he's averaged 11.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists across his last six starts. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) questionable Wednesday vs. ATL
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 12:15 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: The Grizzlies are back stateside after splitting two games in Europe with the Magic. Yet to miss a game this season, Aldama logged 25 minutes in Sunday's win over Orlando. If he's unable to play on Wednesday, Santi would likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Jock Landale. |

Jock Landale Jock Landale dominates Orlando with 21 points
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 8:54 AM
Jock Landale posted 21 points, eight rebounds, three assists, a steal, two blocked shots and a triple across 23 minutes in Sunday's 126-109 win over the Magic.
Analysis: Landale shifted to the bench in favor of Santi Aldama, but the latter delivered a pitiful 9/5/3 line with no defensive contributions. The points represent Landale's second-highest total of the season, and he should remain active in Memphis' rotation until Zach Edey (ankle) returns, whether as a starter or with the second unit. |

Ja Morant Ja Morant lights up Magic in return
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 8:51 AM
Ja Morant delivered 24 points, five rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and three triples across 28 minutes in Sunday's win over the Magic.
Analysis: Morant returned from a six-game injury and looked no worse for wear as he went off for 20 points, 10 dimes and four boards in the first half. Memphis cruised to victory in this one, and Morant could have had an even bigger night had this one been more competitive. The Grizzlies will travel home from their European road trip, and won't play again until Wednesday. Morant's status moving forward will remain in question as he's been forced to miss significant time and his name is still on the trade block, but this was good to see for fantasy managers. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (calf) available Sunday vs. Magic
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 5:15 AM
Grizzlies PR
Santi Aldama (calf) is available for Sunday's matchup with Orlando.
Analysis: Aldama hasn't missed a game this season, and Sunday's matchup in London won't be any different. Expect him to handle his normal allotment of minutes against the Magic. |
|
Ja Morant Ja Morant (calf) good to go Sunday vs. ORL
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 5:10 AM
Grizzlies PR
Ja Morant (calf) is available for Sunday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: Morant will be available following a six-game absence, but it's unclear if he'll face a minutes restriction after a lengthy absence. Cam Spencer may retreat back to the bench, but given Morant's recent availability and trade rumors, Spencer remains a hold. |
