Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 8:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Taj Gibson (foot) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Gibson was available for Sunday's loss to the Bucks, playing seven minutes off the bench. If he can't play on Monday, his absence won't affect the Grizzlies' rotation. |

NBA Injury Report
Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Hendricks started Sunday's loss to the Bucks but played just 12 minutes. GG Jackson is off the injury report after not playing on Sunday, and he should step in for Hendricks. |

Dariq Whitehead Dariq Whitehead scores 16 points vs. Milwaukee
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 12:14 PM
Dariq Whitehead tallied 16 points (6-of-19 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Due to injuries, Whitehead was one of four Grizzlies to play at least 36 minutes on Sunday. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but give the former first-round pick credit for not getting cheated on his attempts. Toby Okani (nine points, four rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer) played 41 minutes and Lucas Williamson (5/3/4/1 with one three-pointer) played 36 on Sunday; in addition to Whitehead, those two should play plenty in Week 24. |

Rayan Rupert Rayan Rupert records 33/10/10/4/1 line vs. MIL
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 12:12 PM
Rayan Rupert finished Sunday's loss to the Bucks with 33 points (9-of-19 FGs, 13-of-16 FTs), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: The silly season tends to produce stat lines that make little sense to fantasy managers. That's precisely what happened in Milwaukee on Sunday, as Rupert had the game of his NBA career. Not only did he record his first triple-double, but he became the first Grizzlies player to record a 30-point triple-double with at least four steals. While Rupert's line is a cause for celebration among those rostering him, others may use it as evidence that fantasy seasons should not run through Week 23. |

Taj Gibson Taj Gibson (foot) upgraded to available vs. MIL
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 8:58 AM
NBA Injury Report
Taj Gibson (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Gibson is available after a three-game absence. While injuries may lead to the veteran playing a few rotation minutes, he is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues. |
|
GG Jackson GG Jackson (knee) downgraded to out vs. MIL
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 8:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
GG Jackson (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Jackson will not get to follow up on his 30-point performance in Friday's loss to the Raptors. Olivier-Maxence Prosper is available and should fill the resulting void in the starting lineup. |
|
Ty Jerome Ty Jerome, Cam Spencer remain out vs. Milwaukee
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 2:16 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ty Jerome (ankle) and Cam Spencer (back) are out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Jerome will remain out for a seventh straight game, while Spencer will miss a second due to his back injury. With Javon Small also out, the Grizzlies will rely heavily on Walter Clayton Jr. if he's able to return from a hip injury that kept him out of Friday's loss to the Raptors. |
|
Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) off injury report
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 2:12 PM
NBA Injury Report
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Prosper is available after sitting out Friday's loss to the Raptors. Taylor Hendricks filled the result void in the starting lineup and should remain there since the Grizzlies are unlikely to have GG Jackson (knee). |
|
Taj Gibson Taj Gibson (foot) probable vs. Milwaukee
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 2:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Taj Gibson (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: After a three-game absence, Gibson is on track to play on Sunday. However, while rotation minutes are likely to be available, the 40-year-old is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball. |

GG Jackson GG Jackson goes for 30 points Friday vs. Toronto
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 5:28 PM
GG Jackson totaled 30 points (10-of-16 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Raptos on Friday.
Analysis: Murray followed his 20-point outing against the Knicks with an even higher-scoring performance on Friday, setting a new season-high against the Raptors. Eighteen of Jackson's points and three of his three-pointers came after halftime. The third-year forward's strong second half of the season has been encouraging after a slower start to the year. Given the Grizzlies' injuries and roster construction throughout the year, he will be an interesting player to project next fantasy season. |

Rayan Rupert MEM starts Small, Coward, Rupert, GG, Hendricks
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 1:40 PM
NBA Lineups
Javon Small, Cedric Coward, Rayan Rupert, GG Jackson and Taylor Hendricks will start Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: The Grizzlies have two new starters for Friday's game, as Cam Spencer and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are out. They've been replaced in the lineup by Rupert and Hendricks, with the latter offering a higher upside for fantasy managers. |
|
Taj Gibson Taj Gibson (foot) ruled out Friday vs. Raptors
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 1:13 PM
Grizzlies PR
Taj Gibson (foot) will not play on Friday against the Raptors.
Analysis: Gibson has not played in the Grizzlies' past three games, and Friday's absence will mark a fourth straight. The veteran forward is averaging 4.0 points in his seven appearances this season. His absence will have little fantasy impact. |
|
Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) downgraded to out
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 12:27 PM
Michael Grange
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Initially doubtful, Prosper is now out for Friday's game. Taylor Hendricks is available and should slide into the Grizzlies' starting lineup without fuss. He is worth slotting into fantasy lineups because of the available playing time and the Grizzlies' lack of frontcourt depth. |

Dariq Whitehead Shams: MEM, Dariq Whitehead agree to 10-day deal
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 5:02 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Grizzlies signed Dariq Whitehead to a 10-day contract.
Analysis: The 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, Whitehead struggled to stay healthy throughout his time with the Nets. Waived just before the end of training camp in October, he has spent this season with Oklahoma City's G League affiliate before Thursday's move to Memphis. Whitehead will look to use this opportunity as a springboard into something more secure for the 2026-27 campaign. |

Taj Gibson Taj Gibson (foot) doubtful vs. Toronto
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Taj Gibson (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Gibson has missed Memphis' last three games, and the doubtful tag means he'll likely miss a fourth on Friday. The veteran forward/center is more valuable to the locker room than to fantasy basketball. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks (thumb) absent from injury report
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Hendricks is back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. With Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) listed as doubtful, Hendricks is likely to take his place in the starting lineup on Friday. In this scenario, Hendricks is worth rostering due to his defensive potential. |
|
Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) doubtful vs. TOR
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 12:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Prosper, who has performed well since moving into the Grizzlies' starting lineup, is on track to miss Friday's game. Most, if not all, of the minutes he was playing will go to Taylor Hendricks, who's back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. |

Olivier-Maxence Prosper Olivier-Maxence Prosper posts 17/4/1/2/1 line
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:27 PM
Olivier-Maxence Prosper tallied 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Like GG Jackson, Prosper has been asked to play out of position due to the Grizzlies' many injuries. He had a good night against the Knicks, shooting good percentages from the field and the foul line while recording a complete stat line. As long as he's available, Prosper is worth rostering. The Grizzlies' forward is rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues going into Memphis' final two games of Week 23. |

GG Jackson GG Jackson scores team-high 20 points vs. New York
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:27 PM
GG Jackson produced 20 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Including Wednesday, Jackson has scored 20 points or more in three of his last six appearances. The Grizzlies forward may not bring much to the table defensively, but he has become a player who should be rostered in 14-team leagues as Memphis plays out the season. Jackson should have two more opportunities to provide value, but the Grizzlies' second game of Week 23 is the first half of a back-to-back. |
