Derrick White (toe) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) are probable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Based on the probable tags, White and Holiday are on track to play on Tuesday. Payton Pritchard’s fantasy ceiling would be raised if either sits, even though he’ll likely remain on the bench. Sam Hauser is another Celtics player who would have added value to a rotation lacking White or Holiday.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Porzingis did not play in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, with Luke Kornet replacing him in the starting lineup. Kornet had one of his best games of the season, and he may remain in the lineup on Tuesday, regardless of Porzingis’ availability. Al Horford (knee) is out, and Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are both questionable.

Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

While Brown did play in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, Tatum was held out with a sprained ankle. Al Horford (knee) slid into the power forward role but will not be available on Tuesday. If Tatum or Brown cannot play against the Knicks, Sam Hauser may be the next man up, and this would raise his streaming ceiling.

Al Horford (knee) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

Horford suffered a sprained right knee during Sunday’s win over the Wizards and will not play on Tuesday. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) could be cleared to play, which would more than help account for Horford’s absence. Also in line to benefit is Luke Kornet, who grabbed 14 rebounds on Sunday.

Ja Morant (illness) is no longer on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Hornets.

Morant will return to the Grizzlies’ lineup after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Pistons. Scotty Pippen Jr. will head to the bench after logging 29 minutes as a starter against Detroit. His fantasy value takes a sizable hit due to decreased playing time.

Vince Williams Jr. (illness) was seen getting up shots at Monday’s practice.

V-Dub has missed three straight games due to an illness, but his appearance at practice bodes well for his availability on Tuesday against the Hornets. If he’s able to go, expect him to handle his normal allotment of minutes.

Ja Morant (illness) is expected to play in Tuesday’s matchup with the Hornets.

Morant was a late scratch on Saturday, and though he didn’t practice on Monday, Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo expects him to return following a one-game absence. Morant’s return will likely send Scotty Pippen Jr. back to the bench.

Luke Kornet played 26 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, finishing with 13 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds and three assists.

With Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis sidelined, the Celtics went with a bigger lineup, starting Kornet and Al Horford. Both players recorded double-doubles, with Horford adding 11 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes. While Kornet’s season-long value has been low, there have been moments when he’s worth streaming. The Celtics play four games during Week 23, and the 7-foot-2 center should have more opportunities to play extended minutes.

Payton Pritchard accumulated 20 points (8-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four three-pointers in 29 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Wizards.

As has been the case on numerous occasions this season, Pritchard is more valuable to fantasy managers when the Celtics are down at least one starter. The reigning champs played Sunday without Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, raising Pritchard’s fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench. With the Celtics playing four games during Week 23, he’ll be worth adding in shallow leagues that will remain active.

Luke Kornet played 26 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, finishing with 13 points (6-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds and three assists.

Derrick White shot 7-of-12 from the field in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, scoring 19 points with one rebound, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in 26 minutes.

For fantasy managers whose leagues ended with Week 22, White capped an excellent season with another quality effort. However, for those whose leagues run through Week 23, it’s fair to wonder how much they’ll see of the Celtics guard. Boston would need to win out while having Cleveland lose each of its final four games to claim the top seed in the East. If the Celtics make White available for all four games, he’ll continue to provide excellent fantasy value. But the priority will likely be to ensure the team is at full strength heading into the playoffs, even if there’s still a chance to earn the top seed.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is available for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

Brown is good to go for Sunday’s game, meaning the Celtics will only be without two starters (Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis). Brown’s workload should not deviate much from what he’s usually asked to do, especially with the Celtics one Cavaliers victory away from being locked into the two-seed in the East.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

While Tatum was listed as questionable on the initial injury report for Sunday’s game, Porzingis is a late scratch. Al Horford and Sam Hauser are the likely replacements in the starting lineup, with Payton Pritchard’s ceiling also being raised due to the absences.

Zach Edey played 29 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pistons, finishing with six points (3-of-8 FGs), 21 rebounds, six assists and one blocked shot.

Edey surpassed 20 rebounds in a game for the first time this season, making up for a subpar scoring night. In addition to the 21 rebounds, the rookie recorded six assists, which was also a season-high. Over the past two weeks, Edey has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats and seventh-round value in eight-cat. The Grizzlies end the regular season with a four-game Week 23, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

Desmond Bane tallied 38 points (15-of-23 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in 38 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pistons.

Bane continues to offer even greater value to fantasy managers when the Grizzlies are without Ja Morant, who was scratched just prior to tip-off with an illness. Bane went on to shoot over 50 percent from the field and score a game-high 38 points. The point total is the highest for him since March 17, when he put up 44 in a loss to the Kings. For Bane managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Grizzlies play four games, starting with the lowly Hornets on Tuesday.

Jaren Jackson Jr. played 35 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Pistons, scoring 27 points (9-of-23 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

The Grizzlies played Saturday’s game without Ja Morant, who was a late scratch due to illness. Jackson took on more of the offensive workload, and while the field-goal percentage wasn’t great, the overall stat line was solid. The double-double was Jackson’s second in four games and sixth of the season, and the rebound category is where fantasy managers will want to see more production in 2025-26. Unless Jackson goes on an absolute tear next week, he’ll average fewer than six rebounds per game for the second straight season. If there is improvement in that category, Trip will likely boast a higher fantasy floor than he currently does.

Ja Morant (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Morant is a late scratch for Saturday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Scotty Pippen Jr. is the replacement, and he stands to provide solid streaming value in that role.

Ja Morant (illness) is now questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Morant is a late addition to the injury report, as the Grizzlies initially announced him as a starter. If he cannot play, Scotty Pippen Jr. or Luke Kennard will move into the starting lineup. Pippen offers a higher fantasy ceiling as a starter, while Kennard’s promotion would increase Desmond Bane’s value.

Kristaps Porzingis (face) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

Porzingis received stitches after suffering a cut to his face during Friday’s win over the Suns. He isn’t on the injury report for Sunday’s game, so it’s “all systems go” for the Celtics’ starting center. However, Al Horford may still be in the starting lineup, as Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are considered questionable.

Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

With the Celtics unlikely to grab the one-seed from the Cavaliers, the focus for the final week of the regular season will likely be ensuring that their key players are healthy for the playoffs. Despite Sunday’s game not being part of a back-to-back, Tatum and Brown aren’t guaranteed to play. If either sits, Al Horford will likely move into the starting lineup, with Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard taking on enhanced roles within the rotation.

Derrick White logged 33 minutes in Friday’s win over the Suns, tallying 12 points (4-of-9 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists and four three-pointers.

White provided excellent value rebounds, assists and three-pointers as the Celtics took care of the Suns. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The lone concern for fantasy managers who have White rostered is Sunday’s game against the Wizards, as that could be seen as an opportunity to give him a night off. Boston is essentially locked into the two-seed in the East, so resting up for the postseason may be the priority the rest of the way.

Kristaps Porzingis accounted for 15 points (5-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers in 23 minutes in Friday’s win over the Suns.

Porzingis took an inadvertent elbow to the face from Cody Martin early in the fourth quarter of Friday’s game. The need for stitches kept the Unicorn’s minutes down, but he was in good spirits while being taken to the locker room. If Porzingis is limited or cannot play in Sunday’s game against the Wizards, Al Horford (seven points, three rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 25 minutes) would be the primary beneficiary.

Kristaps Porzingis accounted for 15 points (5-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers in 23 minutes in Friday’s win over the Suns.

Porzingis took an inadvertent elbow to the face from Cody Martin early in the fourth quarter of Friday’s game. The need for stitches kept the Unicorn’s minutes down, but he was in good spirits while being taken to the locker room. If Porzingis is limited or cannot play in Sunday’s game against the Wizards, Al Horford (seven points, three rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in 25 minutes) would be the primary beneficiary.

Jayson Tatum shot 9-of-18 from the field and 4-of-5 from the foul line in Friday’s win over the Suns, amassing 23 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in 35 minutes.

While Tatum had a rough night from three, shooting 1-of-8, he was 8-of-10 from two, with six of those makes occurring in the restricted area. The result was a 50 percent night from the field and a complete stat line for Tatum, who has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. His season-long value remains high heading into Boston’s final game of Week 22 on Sunday against the Wizards.

Jaylen Brown tallied 31 points (10-of-16 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in 28 minutes in Friday’s win over the Suns.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game with a knee injury, Brown looked healthy against the Suns. He shot 6-of-10 from the field in the first half, setting the tone in a game where the reigning champs won all four quarters. Over the past two weeks, Brown has only been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats, due mainly to his limited defensive production. However, he’s shot over 50 percent from the field during this run, so efficiency on that end of the floor has not been an issue for the Celtics wing.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is available for Friday’s game against the Suns.

Brown is available after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. As a result, Boston will be able to roll out its preferred starting five, with JB being joined by Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis.

Vince Williams Jr. (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Williams is set to miss his third straight game with an illness. Luke Kennard figures to see additional minutes with Williams out, though with the Grizzlies’ deep rotation of players that doesn’t necessarily make him fantasy-relevant in standard leagues.

Zach Edey had eight points (3-of-3 FGs), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block against the Heat on Thursday.

Edey has now collected at least 11 rebounds in three of his last four games. Despite inconsistent playing time, the 22-year-old rookie center from Purdue is a rebounding machine when he’s out there. Edey has provided sixth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks as he’s also an excellent shot blocker.

Desmond Bane had 17 points (6-of-23 FGs), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Heat on Thursday.

Bane struggled on the offensive end with 17 points on 23 attempts from the field. The 26-year-old shooting guard was just 1-of-9 from behind the three-point line. It’s the third time in his last five games that he’s made only one three-point attempt. While Bane’s scoring production has been a little inconsistent lately, fantasy managers can take solace that the Grizzlies have a fourth game this week Saturday against the short-handed Pistons.

Ja Morant had 30 points (11-of-22 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in the Grizzlies’ 110-108 victory over the Heat on Thursday.

Morant had at least 30 points for the second-straight game as he seems to be all the way back from his hamstring injury. He made at least 50 percent of his shots from the field for the third-straight game and is 35-of-64 over his last three games. The 25-year-old point guard appears to be excelling in the aftermath of Taylor Jenkins’ firing and under the tutelage of interim coach Tuomas Iisalo.

Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) are not on the injury report against the Suns on Friday.

Boston may be fully healthy for their matchup with Phoenix, with Jaylen Brown listed as questionable as they only Celtic on the injury report. Luke Kornet and Sam Hauser should return to reserve role with both Holiday and Porzingis back in the lineup.

Al Horford (toe) is off the injury report ahead of Friday’s game against the Suns.

Horford missed Wednesday’s game with a left big toe sprain he’s been dealing with, but is off the injury report ahead of Friday’s game against the Suns. The 38-year-old center might not be in the starting lineup with Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis also available, but should have a significant role.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Suns.

Brown returned from a one-game absence with a knee injury to play 29 minutes against the Heat Wednesday. The 28-year-old small forward is once again questionable with a knee injury and might have a better chance of sitting out with Jrue Holiday among others off the injury report.

Jaylen Brown had 24 points (10-of-20 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers against the Heat on Wednesday.

Brown returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Monday’s game against the Grizzlies with a knee injury. The 28-year-old small forward wasn’t efficient with 24 points on 20 shots, but also contributed nine rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes. The Celtics aren’t likely to push things with heavy minutes for Brown at this point in the season given his knee issue, but he can still be counted on when available. He’s provided sixth-round value over the last month.

Luke Kornet had 14 points (7-of-9 FGs), six rebounds and two assists against the Heat on Wednesday.

Kornet moved into the starting lineup Wednesday with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford sidelined. The 29-year-old center played 21 minutes and was efficient with 14 points on nine shots. Kornet can be a valuable streamer in deeper formats when starting, but he didn’t get as much volume as Peyton Pritchard, who played 31 minutes off the bench as the Celtics went with a smaller lineup.

Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum and Luke Kornet will start Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

The Celtics are without Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, with the first two opening spots in the starting lineup. Hauser and Kornet will fill the voids, and both players are worth streaming in deep leagues due to Boston’s availability issues.

Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

Holiday has been downgraded from questionable to out, joining Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford as rotation players who will not play on Wednesday. Due to the absences, Sam Hauser’s minutes should increase, and he’s worth streaming in deep leagues.

Kristaps Porzingis (conditioning) and Al Horford (toe) are out for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

Porzingis is getting the night off for return from illness conditioning while Horford continues to deal with a left big toe sprain. Luke Kornet will likely move into the starting lineup and play heavy minutes for the Celtics against Miami.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

Brown is back after sitting out Monday’s win over the Grizzlies, meaning Xavier Tillman will return to the bench. Tillman only logged eight minutes in that spot start, so fantasy managers will not take a hit with his being moved to the bench.

John Konchar (illness) is not on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Heat.

Konchar will be available after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors. While he’ll be in the rotation, Konchar’s minutes will not likely be enough to impact fantasy basketball. Managers can afford to leave him on the waiver wire.

Vince Williams Jr. (illness) is out for Thursday’s game against the Heat.

Williams’ continued absence means Luke Kennard should play additional minutes off the bench again. However, he logged 22 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors, which is not enough to make an impact in most fantasy leagues.

Santi Aldama accounted for 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in 30 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors.

After scoring 21 points and recording a solid stat line in Monday’s loss to the Celtics, Aldama was also solid in Tuesday’s loss to Golden State. This was a needed two-game stretch for the fourth-year forward, who is ranked outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Aldama has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats this season. Unfortunately, the production dipped at the wrong time for those who have relied on him for consistent late-round value.

Desmond Bane amassed 19 points (6-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in 35 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors.

While Bane’s scoring output has been slightly inconsistent recently, he has still provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The 1-of-12 night against Oklahoma City damaged his field goal percentage, with Bane making 44.2 percent of his attempts. However, Bane’s other numbers have been solid, preserving his overall value to category league managers. The good news for Bane managers is that Memphis plays two more games during Week 22, starting with Miami on Thursday.

Jaren Jackson Jr. logged 31 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors, recording 22 points (7-of-20 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.

Jackson exited with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Grizzlies trailing by one, 123-122. Memphis would only score three more points the rest of the way, as no one could contribute with the Warriors taking away Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Over the past two weeks, Jackson has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, two rounds worse than his season-long production. One difference has been the field goal percentage, with Trip shooting 43.5 percent over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers hope he’ll clean that up during the Grizzlies’ final two games of Week 22.

Ja Morant shot 14-of-22 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors, finishing with 36 points, three rebounds, six assists, two steals and five three-pointers in 33 minutes.

Wednesday’s point total was Morant’s best since returning from a hamstring injury, and he shot over 50 percent from the field. While much was made of the Grizzlies’ offensive system in the aftermath of Taylor Jenkins’s firing, the team appeared to run more pick-and-roll actions for Morant on Tuesday than they have for most of this season. The staff changes made before the season were meant to install an offense with more ball movement, with current interim coach Tuomas Iisalo among those hires. While that did happen, Memphis’s usage of two-man actions is something to watch for the rest of this season.

Vince Williams Jr. (illness) has been ruled out against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Williams Jr. was a late addition to the injury report and will now be held out of Tuesday’s game. Luke Kennard and Cam Spencer should take on extra minutes with Williams Jr. out, but only Kennard has streaming appeal.

John Konchar (illness) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

Konchar’s absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as he played eight minutes in the Grizzlies’ last two games. With Vince Williams Jr. (illness) also out, Luke Kennard’s playing time may increase in a pivotal matchup for both teams. He played 19 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Celtics.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) are questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

The Celtics aren’t officially the two-seed in the East for the upcoming playoffs, but it would take a Herculean effort to pass Cleveland. So, veterans like Porzingis and Holiday may receive the occasional rest day as the regular season winds down. Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet would have a shot at moving into the starting lineup if Holidan and Porzingis don’t play on Wednesday, and Payton Pritchard’s fantasy ceiling would also be raised.

Luke Kornet (illness) is not on the injury report against the Heat on Wednesday.

Kornet was sidelined on Monday, but with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available, he likely wouldn’t have played a significant role if he was available. However, with Horford (toe) doubtful and Porzingis (conditioning) questionable, Kornet should at least play a significant role off the bench and could slide into the starting lineup.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable to play against the Heat on Wednesday.

Brown missed Monday’s game against Boston, which allowed Xavier Tillman to start, though he barely played a role. Al Horford ended up playing extended minutes, but he is listed as doubtful. Sam Hauser will likely replace Brown in the starting lineup if he is sidelined for another game.

Al Horford (toe) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

The Celtics don’t have a back-to-back to navigate, but they do have to concern themselves with Horford’s lingering toe injury. The doubtful tag suggests he will not play on Wednesday, meaning Al’s next opportunity to suit up would be on Friday against the Suns. Luke Kornet would have added importance, especially if Kristaps Porzingis is downgraded from questionable to out.

Santi Aldama provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (8-of-18 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and three three-pointers against the Celtics on Monday.

Aldama has been solid all season, but the production has been quieter in recent months when compared to his early-season numbers. Monday’s performance was his highest-scoring night since February 2, which was a 23-point night in a win. That is something Memphis hasn’t done much of recently as they lost for the sixth time in their last seven games on Monday. Aldama has been a reliable reserve for them, but it’s hard to count on him for this level of production. He ranks outside the top-200 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Ja Morant led the Grizzlies with 26 points (10-of-20 FGs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers in a 117-103 loss to the Celtics on Monday.

Morant was once again able to turn in a strong stat line in his second game back after missing six games with a hamstring injury. The last time Morant scored less than 20 points in a game was February 20, which was the Grizzlies’ first game after the All-Star break. Availability has once again been an issue for Morant this season, but he hasn’t had any issues pouring in the points when he’s on the floor. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Morant didn’t play against the Warriors on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the injury report, though that game is far more important for the playoff race out West, so it would be surprising if they opted to rest him against Golden State and play him against Boston.

Jaren Jackson Jr. recorded a double-double on Monday with 20 points (8-of-16 FGs), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers against the Celtics.

The most notable flaw in Jackson Jr.'s game is his lack of rebounding production, but that wasn’t the case on Monday. Though it wasn’t enough to get the win, JJJ set a new career-high for rebounds, eclipsing his previous best mark of 13, which he has done twice over the last two seasons. It was a nice boost in Monday’s game, but it isn’t something that managers should grow accustomed to. Memphis still has three more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Ja Morant tallied 22 points (9-of-23 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one three-pointer in 31 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.

Morant returned to the Grizzlies’ lineup on Saturday after missing six games with a hamstring injury. He did so while playing for a new head coach, with Toumas Iisalo grabbing the reins on an interim basis, after Taylor Jenkins was fired earlier this week after six seasons at the helm. The point guard’s efficiency wasn’t great, as he shot 9-of-23 from the field, but 10 assists countered his four turnovers. When healthy, Morant has been a superior option in eight-cat formats and team builds in which turnovers are punted. Memphis’s four-game Week 22 includes a Monday/Tuesday back-to-back, so there may be another opportunity for Scotty Pippen Jr. to start. Pippen played 23 minutes off the bench against the Lakers, finishing with 16 points, three rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers.

Zach Edey accounted for 14 points (7-of-10 FGs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks in 27 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.

Edey reached double digits in rebounds for the 15th time this season and first since March 9. That was also the last time the rookie recorded a double-double, moving his tally to 10 on the season. While Edey has offered sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, five of six games were played without Ja Morant. Morant returned to the lineup on Saturday, and the 7-foot-4 rookie produced an excellent stat line. That’s encouraging for those who have Edey rostered, especially with the Grizzlies playing four games during Week 22.

Jaren Jackson Jr. logged 28 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, finishing with 24 points (8-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.

Jackson shot the ball well on Saturday, scoring 23 points or more in three of his last four games. However, the overall stat line was lacking, especially in the rebound department. He’s grabbed five rebounds or less in six straight games, which has factored into JJJ only being a top 75 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Sharing the court with Zach Edey doesn’t help, but fantasy managers are likely hoping for more rebound production from Jackson during Week 22.

Desmond Bane amassed 29 points (12-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and five three-pointers in 33 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.

After a brutal 1-of-12 performance in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder, Bane got back on track against the Lakers. He’s scored 20 points or more in five of his last seven outings, a run that includes a 44-point effort on March 17 against the Kings. Ja Morant returning to the lineup on Saturday likely helped boost Bane’s efficiency, but he is shooting 48.4 percent from the field for the season. Memphis plays four games during Week 22, starting with a Monday/Tuesday home back-to-back against the Celtics and Warriors.

Marvin Bagley III (concussion) is available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Bagley is back after sitting out the Grizzlies’ last two games. While he can provide additional depth off the bench, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
