Pippen played 16 minutes off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Hawks, as the Grizzlies employed a starting backcourt of Luke Kennard and Desmond Bane. If Ja Morant can return from his shoulder injury, Pippen will likely fall out of the rotation whether or not he’s healthy or not.

Both two-way guards will be sidelined against Oklahoma City on Wednesday, though neither has been a consistent part of the Grizzlies’ rotation this season. Their absences won’t open up minutes for any other player, since they don’t have minutes to give away.

Morant has missed the Grizzlies’ last two games and is in danger of missing another. Desmond Bane took over playmaking duties on Monday with Morant out and recorded a triple-double. Luke Kennard will likely get another start if Morant remains out.

While Konchar played 15 minutes off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Hawks, Aldama was unavailable with a sore right calf. His availability is far more impactful on fantasy basketball, especially with Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) likely out for multiple weeks. If Aldama can play against the Thunder, he must be rostered in most fantasy leagues. Konchar is only worthy of consideration if Ja Morant (shoulder) remains out.

Jackson suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain during the first quarter of Monday’s loss to the Hawks. While the Grizzlies have given him a week-to-week designation, this injury can require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time. Fantasy managers who have Jackson rostered should stash him in an IL+ slot if possible. As for who can provide added fantasy value, Santi Aldama (when healthy) is the best target. He’s questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder with a sore right calf.

Santi Aldama (calf) wasn’t available for Monday’s game, so Edey returned to the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Saturday. The rookie was productive, scoring 15 points on 75 percent shooting and grabbing five rebounds. Since the break, Edey has been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats. Edey should be rostered in standard leagues regardless of where he is in the Grizzlies’ rotation. However, his value does take a hit when asked to come off the bench.

With Ja Morant (shoulder) out for a second straight game, Bane had to take on more playmaking responsibilities on Monday. While he did commit five turnovers, the 30-point triple-double outweighs that negative. Since the break, Bane has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Whether or not Morant is available, Bane will provide reliable fantasy value. But his ceiling is raised on nights like Monday.

Kennard started alongside Desmond Bane on Monday, as the Grizzlies were again without Ja Morant (shoulder). Luke had a good night, providing solid value in the points, assists and steals categories. When allowed to start, Kennard is a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues. Memphis plays three more games during Week 18, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday.

Jackson was injured during the first quarter, landing awkwardly after attempting to block a shot. His left ankle injury will likely end JJJ’s night prematurely, which means more playing time for GG Jackson and Lamar Stevens. GG has a better chance of providing value if Jaren misses time, especially if Santi Aldama remains out.

With Ja Morant and Santi Aldama sidelined, the Grizzlies will mix up their starting lineup. This is a favorable defensive matchup, so Kennard, Wells and Edey are worth streaming, particularly in deeper leagues.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Morant and Aldama are trending toward not playing, according to Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. The former also did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, with Scotty Pippen Jr. replacing Morant in the starting lineup. However, Luke Kennard may receive the starting nod with Desmond Bane available. As for Aldama, his absence may lead to Zach Edey returning to the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Saturday.

Aldama is a late addition to the injury report after starting in Saturday’s loss. With Desmond Bane back and Ja Morant (shoulder) questionable, Aldama’s place in the starting lineup on Monday isn’t a guarantee. GG Jackson and John Konchar should step into more minutes if Aldama is sidelined.

Stevens only made one appearance during his first 10-day deal, and he contributed six points and four rebounds in 16 minutes in that game. He will be available for six more games before Memphis has to decide to either let him walk or sign him for the rest of the season.

Beal returned to the Suns lineup after missing two games with a sore calf. He shot the ball well, but the overall impact was muted in Sunday’s 18-point defeat. Beal had provided solid value recently, ranking within the top-50 in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. However, availability remains a concern for the guard, who has already missed 19 games this season. Beal’s return pushed Tyus Jones to the bench, and he finished with 10 points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in 17 minutes. Jones is worth holding onto in deep leagues, but standard league managers may want to seek alternatives before the playoffs begin.

By his standards, Booker’s stat line on Sunday was relatively modest. However, fantasy managers haven’t had much to worry about recently, as he has provided top-15 value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. What is concerning is that Phoenix now trails Dallas by four games in the loss column for the final play-in spot in the West. Phoenix doesn’t own the rights to its 2025 first-round pick, so tanking is unlikely to be considered at any point. That said, fantasy managers need Booker’s team to turn things around promptly.

On a disappointing night for Durant and the Suns, he recorded his second double-double since the All-Star break. Over the past three weeks, he sits just outside the first round in 12-team leagues in eight- and nine-cat formats. As the Suns continue to trend in the wrong direction, they will need even more from their best players, including Durant. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Phoenix only plays three games during Week 18.

Beal and Allen were initially questionable for Sunday’s game, but they have been upgraded to available. The former’s return will impact the Suns’ rotation more, as Tyus Jones will likely return to the bench. Allen remains a key reserve for Phoenix, but he’s a deep-league option at best when the team’s “big three” are available.

Bane will be available after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, which was Memphis’ second game in as many nights. He will occupy his usual spot in the starting lineup, but who joins Bane in the backcourt is unknown. Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable, meaning Scotty Pippen Jr. or Luke Kennard may start alongside Bane.

Morant did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, and he isn’t guaranteed to be available on Monday, either.

With Ja Morant and Desmond Bane unavailable due to injury, everyone inside FedEx Forum knew the Grizzlies’ offense would run through Jackson. And the Spurs had no answer for him, as he shot 60 percent from the field and recorded his first 40-point game of the season (sixth of his career). Since the All-Star break, Jackson has provided top 25 per-game value in nine-cat formats, slightly better than his season-long production. He’ll look to build on Saturday’s performance when the Grizzlies begin a four-game Week 18 on Monday against the Hawks.

Not only did Aldama record his 10th double-double of the season, but he finished two assists shy of his first career triple-double. Replacing Zach Edey in the starting lineup, the Grizzlies forward proved a capable sidekick for Jaren Jackson Jr. on a night when Ja Morant and Desmond Bane were out. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Aldama has provided reliable fantasy value this season. Rostered in 52 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Santi is worth adding, especially if he remains in the starting lineup.

Edey did not start Saturday’s game, with Santi Aldama replacing him in the starting lineup. However, with another fill-in (John Konchar) struggling, the 7-foot-4 rookie gave the Grizzlies productive minutes off the bench. A double-digit scorer in consecutive games for the first time since early February, Edey’s 17 points were the most for him since January 25 when he scored 19 against Utah. He took some of the minutes that likely would have gone to Konchar, who went scoreless and finished with three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot in 17 minutes. While coming off the bench would not help Edey’s fantasy value, the role would not prohibit him from being productive.

Pippen shined as a starter for the injured Ja Morant earlier this season, so it’s unsurprising he recorded a solid stat line on Saturday. He’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but the assist tally was useful. Pippen’s fantasy value depends on Morant’s availability; there’s no need to hold onto him if Ja is available for Monday’s game against the Hawks.

A good night for Kennard came to a disappointing and abrupt end as he picked up his second technical foul with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter. He finished with 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 24 minutes off the bench. Lamar Stevens should play additional minutes off the bench, as the Grizzlies were already without Desmond Bane and Vince Williams Jr. due to injury.

Clarke is dealing with a laceration on his lip. While it doesn’t sound like much, the 28-year-old power forward is listed as questionable and seems like he has a legitimate chance of missing Saturday’s game.

With Desmond Bane (hip) questionable, Kennard and Williams would be next in line for increased minutes if Bane is ruled out.

One night removed from scoring 28 points in a loss to the Pelicans, Durant was less productive as a scorer in Friday’s rematch. However, he’s averaged nearly 26 points per game over the past three weeks, providing first-round value in 12-team leagues (eight- and nine-cat formats). Durant will look to get the Suns closer to the play-in places on Sunday when the Timberwolves visit the Valley of the Sun.

Booker’s run of four straight games with 28 points or more ended on Friday, and he may not have been too upset about that. Others, most notably Bol Bol and Nick Richards, stepped up, meaning the Suns needed less scoring from Booker and Kevin Durant.

Since his stellar debut in Detroit, Richards’ move to Phoenix hasn’t panned out how he, the Suns or fantasy managers hoped it would. However, he’s scored in double figures in five of his last seven outings, recording four double-doubles. Richards is essentially a player who can provide value in the rebound and field-goal percentage categories, which gives him a limited fantasy ceiling.

The Suns re-inserted Bol into Friday’s game after the outcome was no longer in doubt, seemingly to see if they could get him the two points needed to establish a new career-high. Either the other four players on the court misunderstood the assignment, or they decided Bol had shot enough because he didn’t get another attempt. On a serious note, Bol was outstanding offensively on a night when the Suns were without Bradley Beal and Grayson Allen. Rostered on 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-foot-2 forward has been a fourth-round player over the past three weeks.

Jones reclaimed his starting gig with Bradley Beal on the sidelines, and he certainly made the most of his opportunity. The assists were a game high, and the three-pointers were his most since he knocked down five against the Clippers on January 27. The Suns have a quick turnaround with a rematch set for Friday night against New Orleans. If he’s back with the first unit, Jones will look to build on Thursday’s big performance.

Naughty Nicky pulled down a game-high rebound total and finished with his sixth double-double in 19 appearances with Phoenix. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Richards’ final stat line in the box score is all that counts. His on-court play was a bit less encouraging, as the Pels grabbed 50 boards and scored 58 points in the paint. Richards and the Suns are five games below .500, and they’ll need to find an answer for Zion Williamson in Friday’s rematch if they want to get back in the win column.
