GG Jackson GG Jackson scores 15 points off bench
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 3:58 PM
GG Jackson provided a boost off the bench with 15 points (6-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one three-pointer and six turnovers against the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Jackson was pushed to the bench with Cedric Coward back, but he was still able to make an impact as a scorer. Of the five reserves that played, Jackson was one of four to score in double figures. Eight of the 10 players that checked into this game for Memphis scored at least 10 points. This was only the second time he has come off the bench since Feb. 4, and he should start more often than not moving forward. |

Ty Jerome Ty Jerome puts up 26 points, eight assists
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 3:52 PM
Ty Jerome led the Grizzlies with 26 points (10-of-20 FGs), two rebounds, eight assists and four three-pointers in a 139-129 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Jerome sat out the first leg of this back-to-back but was available and starting for this one. He played a season-high 23 minutes in his last appearance and surpassed that with 25 minutes in this one. They'll continue to manage his minutes and games, but he has been fantastic when he's been on the floor. Despite the restrictions, Jerome has been productive enough to be worth keeping around in standard leagues, though his upside will be capped. |

NBA Lineups
Ty Jerome, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Taylor Hendricks and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama, Scotty Pippen Jr. out Tuesday
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 8:15 AM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) and Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) are out for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers.
Analysis: Memphis' injury report is lengthy, and with Aldama out again, Olivier-Maxence Prosper should continue to start and see meaningful minutes. Pippen Jr.'s continued absence means more run for Ty Jerome and Cam Spencer. |

GG Jackson GG Jackson finishes loss to Nets with 18 points
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 4:11 PM
Javon Small amassed 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Jackson kept the turnovers in check on Monday, committing one, and that category has caused a four-round difference in his fantasy value since the All-Star break. Providing top-100 value in eight-cat formats, GG is ranked well outside of that threshold in nine-cat formats. However, given how shorthanded the Grizzlies are in the frontcourt, he's close to a must-roster player for the rest of the season, regardless of the turnover concerns. |

Rayan Rupert Rayan Rupert scores career-high 20 points vs. BKN
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 4:09 PM
Rayan Rupert finished Monday's loss to the Nets with 20 points (5-of-13 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Having played well enough while on a 10-day contract to earn a two-way deal, Rupert has added security for the final month of the 2025-26 season. Nights like Monday will go a long way toward him getting more than a two-way deal in the future. The Grizzlies' wing played 36 minutes off the bench due to the team's many absences, recording the first 20-point game of his career. As a two-way player, Rupert isn't guaranteed to be available every night because of the 50-game limit. However, he'll be worth a look on nights when he's active, and the Grizzlies are as shorthanded as they were in Brooklyn. |

Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) downgraded to out vs. BKN
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Initially doubtful for Monday's game, Pippen is now officially out. Cam Spencer, Walter Clayton Jr. and Javon Small take on added importance within the Grizzlies' rotation, as Ty Jerome is also out. |
|
Ty Jerome Ty Jerome (calf) downgraded to out vs. Brooklyn
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 12:47 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ty Jerome (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Jerome was initially doubtful for Monday's game, so the downgrade in status is unsurprising. With Scotty Pippen Jr. also out, the Grizzlies will rely more on Walter Clayton Jr., Javon Small and Cam Spencer in the backcourt. |
|
Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks (thumb) downgraded to out
Mon, Mar 9, 2026, 12:44 PM
NBA Injury Report
Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Due to a sore right thumb, Hendricks will not be available for Monday's game. The Grizzlies will rely even more on starters GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the frontcourt. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) to remain out vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 11:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: The Grizzlies will continue to rely on GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the frontcourt. With Taylor Hendricks (thumb) doubtful, the Grizzlies will be severely shorthanded in that area of the rotation. |
|
Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks (thumb) doubtful vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 11:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: A sore right thumb is likely to keep Hendricks out of Monday's game, the first of two in as many nights for the Grizzlies. Starters GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper take on added importance if Hendricks sits, and Jahmai Mashack may be asked to play rotation minutes again. |
|
Scotty Pippen Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) doubtful vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 11:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Like Ty Jerome (calf), Pippen is on track to sit out the first of two games the Grizzlies will play in as many nights to open Week 20. Javon Small, Walter Clayton Jr. and Cam Spencer take on added importance with the Grizzlies' two starters unlikely to play. |
|
Ty Jerome Ty Jerome (calf) doubtful vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Mar 8, 2026, 11:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ty Jerome (calf) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Memphis opens Week 20 with games on Monday and Tuesday, so Jerome will likely not play in one of those games. His absence would mean more opportunities for Javon Small, Walter Clayton Jr. and Cam Spencer. |

GG Jackson GG Jackson records 14 points, seven rebounds
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:48 PM
GG Jackson accumulated 14 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Jackson has been close to a top-75 player in eight-cat format since the All-Star break, according to Basketball Monster. However, while the final stat line on Saturday was solid, he was limited to 22 minutes despite not being in foul trouble. Fantasy managers don't have too much to worry about regarding Jackson's workload, especially with the Grizzlies' four-game Week 20 consisting of two back-to-backs. He'll have a higher ceiling in games where Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. aren't available. |

Taylor Hendricks Taylor Hendricks records 18 points, full line
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:48 PM
Taylor Hendricks amassed 18 points (7-of-8 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Since the All-Star break, Hendricks has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats. He recorded an excellent stat line on Saturday, doing his damage in 26 minutes off the bench. Given the defensive ability, Hendricks should not have any issues getting minutes the rest of the season. GG Jackson remains the superior option among Grizzlies' forwards, but managers in deep leagues should not sleep on Hendricks. |

Ty Jerome Ty Jerome leads Grizzlies with 23 points vs. LAC
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 4:47 PM
Ty Jerome accounted for 23 points (7-of-17 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers, Jerome provided solid value in points, assists and steals. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-50 player since making his season debut last month. However, the Week 20 schedule is a bad one for Jerome, as Memphis has two back-to-backs. Instead of four games, he may be available for two. The same goes for Scotty Pippen Jr., who finished Saturday's defeat with 11 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer. |

Ty Jerome MEM starts Jerome, Pippen, Wells, Jackson, Prosper
Sat, Mar 7, 2026, 1:39 PM
NBA Lineups
Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will start Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Jerome and Pippen are back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers. Their returns come at the expense of Javon Small and Rayan Rupert, with the latter made inactive for Saturday's game. |
|
Ty Jerome Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr. available vs. LAC
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 12:27 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Ty Jerome (calf) and Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) are available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Jerome and Pippen are back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Trail Blazers. Their returns will likely push Javon Small and Rayan Rupert to the bench. Small and Rupert offer limited fantasy value in reserve roles. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) to remain out vs. Clippers
Fri, Mar 6, 2026, 12:21 PM
Memphis Grizzlies
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Aldama remains out due to right knee injury management. The undersized Grizzlies will continue to rely on Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who is worth the streaming risk in deep leagues. |
|
Ja Morant Ja Morant (elbow) out at least another two weeks
Thu, Mar 5, 2026, 1:39 PM
Marc J. Spears
Ja Morant (elbow) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: This has Morant being re-evaluated around March 19, which means he will miss at least two months with this injury. There is a chance he returns shortly after, but this could be nearing the end of the fantasy playoffs in many leagues. Memphis still has plenty of depth at point guard, with Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton Jr. also playing large roles with Morant out. |
