Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) to remain out vs. Denver
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 1:27 PM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Aldama continues to be listed on the injury report due to right knee injury management, with Wednesday's game being the eighth in the last nine that he's missed. Due to Memphis's lack of healthy post players, Kyle Anderson has been the starting center for the last two games. In that role, he's worth streaming in deep leagues. |

Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen Jr. notches four steals vs. GSW
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:40 PM
Scotty Pippen Jr. accounted for 11 points (5-of-6 FGs), four assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: Pippen played 20 minutes off the bench on Monday, two fewer than his season debut against the Trail Blazers on Friday. However, like teammate Ty Jerome, the minutes restriction did not prohibit Pippen from providing solid value in multiple categories, including assists and steals. With Cedric Coward (knee) not returning for the second half, Pippen replaced him in the lineup. That could be the Grizzlies' course of action if Coward can't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks records 15 points, 10 rebounds
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:40 PM
Taylor Hendricks amassed 15 points (5-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: After totaling 11 points and six rebounds in his first two appearances as a Grizzly, Hendricks had one of his best games of the season on Monday. Recording his first double-double, the 6-foot-9 forward recorded a season-high 10 boards. And the 15 points were the most in a game for Hendricks since December 23, when he dropped 21 on the Grizzlies while still with the Jazz. With Santi Aldama (knee) out, there's more room for Hendricks within the rotation, even if he isn't a true center. There may be some deep-league value to be had during the silly season because of Hendricks' defensive potential. |

Ty Jerome Ty Jerome tallies 19 points, seven assists
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:39 PM
Ty Jerome finished Monday's loss to the Warriors with 19 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Despite still being under a minutes limit, Jerome has been a valuable fantasy option when available. He's scored at least 19 points in four of his five appearances this season, shooting 56.7 percent from the field. With the Grizzlies only playing once more before the All-Star break, Wednesday against the Nuggets, availability should not be an issue for Jerome. So even if Jerome remains capped at 20 minutes, he's more than capable of providing reliable fantasy value. |

Ty Jerome MEM starts Jerome, Coward, Wells, GG, Anderson
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 3:42 PM
NBA Lineups
Ty Jerome, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson and Kyle Anderson will start Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Jerome is back after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers and will start, pushing Scotty Pippen Jr. to the bench. Also, the Grizzlies remain without Santi Aldama, which means Anderson will get another start as the small-ball center. With Coward and Wells back, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Jahmai Mashack will come off the bench. |

Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) removed from injury report
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 3:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: After making his season debut the night prior, Pippen did not play in Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to it being Memphis' second game in as many nights. With Ty Jerome also available, Pippen will likely slot into a backup role, which limits his fantasy value. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) to remain out vs. Golden State
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 3:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Aldama will remain out for another game as he continues to manage a right knee injury. Due to their lack of healthy centers, the Grizzlies started Olivier-Maxence Prosper (Friday) and Kyle Anderson (Saturday) at the five in their two games in Portland. One of those two is likely to start against the Warriors, but both are worth a look in deep leagues out of necessity. |

Kyle Anderson Kyle Anderson records 11/6/2/2/2 line vs. POR
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 6:37 PM
Kyle Anderson amassed 11 points (5-of-6 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: For those wondering what the Grizzlies would do at the center position without Santi Aldama, the answer for their two games in Portland was to go small. After sitting out Friday's defeat, Anderson was tabbed to serve as the starting center on Saturday, and he recorded a nice stat line. The four defensive contributions were the most in a game for SloMo since New Year's Day. His value moving forward depends partly on Aldama's availability. The Grizzlies play four games in Week 17, two before the All-Star break. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks plays 21 minutes vs. Portland
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 6:36 PM
Taylor Hendricks tallied six points (2-of-4 FGs, 2-of-5 FTs), one rebound and two assists in Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Hendricks played 21 minutes in both of Memphis' games in Portland. While the production wasn't great, the playing time was there, unlike in Utah pre-trade. Hendricks isn't someone who needs to be rostered in redraft leagues, but managers competing in dynasty formats will undoubtedly watch him the rest of this season. |

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper scores career-high 25 pts
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 6:35 PM
Olivier-Maxence Prosper finished Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 25 points (9-of-13 FGs), five rebounds and seven three-pointers.
Analysis: Prosper has impeccable timing. With February 7, 2026, designated as âNational Marquette Day,â the Marquette alum had the best night of his NBA career. O-Max made his first six three-point attempts and finished with a career-high 25 points. Memphis was without Jaylen Wells and Cedric Coward, so there was plenty of room for Prosper to contribute despite coming off the bench. Nights like Saturday are unlikely to become the norm for Prosper, but there may be more moments when he's given a prominent role out of necessity. |

Kyle Anderson MEM starts Jerome, KCP, Mashack, GG, Anderson
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 3:38 PM
NBA Lineups
Ty Jerome, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jahmai Mashack, GG Jackson and Kyle Anderson will start Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Jackson is the only starter who was in the lineup for Friday's loss to Portland. Jerome is the best fantasy option among the four replacements, and he's worth rostering in 12-team leagues. Caldwell-Pope and Anderson can offer deep-league streaming value, while fantasy managers should leave Mashack on the waiver wire. |

Kyle Anderson Kyle Anderson (illness) off injury report Saturday
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:32 AM
Kyle Anderson (illness) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Anderson missed Friday's game with an illness. It would've been the first game of his second stint in his career with the Grizzlies, but that'll likely come Saturday. Without knowing how the Grizzlies plan to deploy Anderson, it's difficult to gauge his current fantasy value. |

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Caldwell-Pope (rest) absent from injury report
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:32 AM
Memphis Grizzlies
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Caldwell-Pope was held out of Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers, which factored into Jahmai Mashack playing 20 minutes off the bench. With Cedric Coward and Jaylen Wells both doubtful, Mashack may remain in the rotation despite KCP being available. |
|
Ty Jerome Ty Jerome (calf) removed from injury report
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:22 AM
Memphis Grizzlies
Ty Jerome (calf) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Jerome did not play in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers, leading to Scotty Pippen Jr. making the start in his season debut. Pippen is out, so the Grizzlies can move Jerome back into the lineup without any fuss. |

Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen (toe) ruled out vs. Portland
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:20 AM
Memphis Grizzlies
Scotty Pippen (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: After logging 22 minutes in his season debut on Friday, Pippen will sit out Saturday's rematch. Ty Jerome is available, so he'll slide back into the starting lineup. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) remains out vs. Portland
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 10:13 AM
Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Sitting out Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers did not ensure that Aldama would be available for Saturday's rematch. He'll miss both games for right knee injury management. Olivier-Maxence Prosper moved into the starting lineup on Friday and will likely remain in that role. Out of necessity, he's worth considering as a deep-league streamer. |

Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) scores 13 in season debut
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 6:54 PM
Scotty Pippen Jr. added 13 points (4-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Analysis: Pippen Jr. was one of eight Grizzlies to score in double figures in his first game of the season. He made contributions as a scorer, but his biggest impact came as a facilitator, concluding as Memphis' leader in assists. He logged just 22 minutes on Friday, so it'll be interesting to see what the team's plan is for him on Saturday's back-to-back. Nonetheless, it was an encouraging season debut from Pippen Jr. |

Scotty Pippen MEM starts Pippen, Wells, Coward, GG, O-Max
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 3:38 PM
NBA Lineups
Scotty Pippen Jr., Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will start Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Despite this being his first game of the season, Pippen is in the starting lineup. However, like Ty Jerome when he made his debut, the point guard will be under a minutes restriction. Cam Spencer will continue to play quality minutes off the bench. The other change to the lineup is Prosper, who steps in as the starting center with Santi Aldama (knee) unavailable. |

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) out vs. Portland
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 3:28 PM
Grizzlies PR
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will miss Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Caldwell-Pope will rest on Friday, which leaves Memphis without one of its veteran rotation players. The 13th-year pro is having a down season as mostly a reserve player, posting his lowest scoring averages since his rookie season and some of the worst shooting numbers of his career. Caldwell-Pope's absence shouldn't impact the Grizzlies much on Friday from a fantasy basketball standpoint. |
|
Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) available vs. Portland
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 3:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Pippen is officially available to make his season debut after undergoing offseason toe surgery. Like Ty Jerome before him, Pippen is likely to be under a minutes restriction. While he's still capable of providing tangible fantasy value, Cam Spencer is a safer play for Friday's slate. |
