Jaren Jackson Jaren Jackson Jr. leads Grizzlies with 23 points
Fri, Jan 9, 2026, 4:45 PM
Jaren Jackson Jr. amassed 23 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Playing against a severely depleted Thunder roster, Jackson and the Grizzlies controlled Friday's game for most of the first three quarters. After making all three of his shot attempts in the third quarter, JJJ was 0-of-3 in the fourth as Memphis lost a game that it led by as much as 21. The final stat line was solid, but fantasy managers may have hoped for more from Jackson on a night when the Grizzlies were once again without Ja Morant. |

Jaren Jackson Jr. (illness) is available to play against the Suns on Wednesday.

Wed, Jan 7, 2026, 12:30 PM
Damichael Cole
Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Williams returned after an eight-game absence on Tuesday, so it's unsurprising that he would be ruled out for Wednesday's game. Cam Spencer's place within the rotation depends on Ja Morant, who is a game-time decision. If Ja plays, Spencer will come off the bench. If not, Spencer will start while Javon Small provides depth off the bench. |

Memphis Grizzlies
Jaren Jackson Jr. (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Initially probable for Memphis' second game in as many nights, Jackson has been downgraded to questionable.

In that case, they would have to rely even more on Jock Landale and Christian Koloko, with the former being the safer streaming option. |

The 26-year-old forward has underwhelmed from a fantasy standpoint this season, but his scoring numbers have gone up in recent weeks, which is an encouraging sign.

Cam Spencer, Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale will start Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

The other change is GG Jackson, who steps in for Coward. Capable of getting hot offensively, Jackson is worth watching in deeper leagues. |
