Clarke and Williams have been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Grizzlies without two of their many options off the bench. John Konchar, Jay Huff or Marvin Bagley III may enter the rotation, but none will likely get the minutes needed to provide reliable streaming value. However, that would change if Ja Morant or Desmond Bane were also ruled out.

The Grizzlies could be in trouble with Morant now questionable in addition to Desmond Bane, Luke Kennard and Vince Williams Jr. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Kennard would be the potential replacements for Morant if he’s out Saturday.

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. While Clarke has a significant bench role for the Grizzlies, he doesn’t have fantasy value unless he’s put in the starting lineup for a spot start.

With Desmond Bane (hip) questionable, Kennard and Williams would be next in line for increased minutes if Bane is ruled out. This situation has become complicated by Kennard and Williams also being included on the injury report. Fantasy managers will have to check back prior to game time to see how the Grizzlies’ health situation checks out.

Bane played 35 minutes in Friday’s loss against the Knicks despite being questionable with a groin injury. Now the 26-year-old shooting guard is questionable with a hip injury Saturday against the Spurs. Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard would be next in line for more minutes if Bane is ruled out, but both of them are listed as questionable as well.

After shooting 11-of-13 from the field in Tuesday’s win over the Suns, Jackson cooled off considerably against the Knicks. However, Friday’s game was a blip on the radar for a player who’s shot nearly 49 percent from the field over the past two weeks. Jackson has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats for the season, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (38). He’ll look to bounce back on Saturday when the Grizzlies host the Spurs.

Like his backcourt partner, Ja Morant, Bane had a quiet night from beyond the arc. Memphis’ starting guards combined to shoot 0-of-10 from three, with Bane missing all four of his attempts. The good news for fantasy managers is that he still shot over 50 percent from the field, and an off night from deep did prevent Bane from providing value in other areas. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Memphis finishes its Week 17 slate at home against the Spurs on Saturday.

Morant had a chance to give Memphis the victory, but his runner in the final seconds rattled out. A decent stat line had the opportunity to have a better night, but the Grizzlies point guard missed all six of his three-point attempts. As a team, Memphis shot 4-of-31 from three and was outscored by a 39-12 margin, erasing a plus-23 edge on the glass. Morant has only been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, with poor shooting (36.4 percent) being the issue.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Bane is officially available. He’ll take on his usual role within the Grizzlies’ starting lineup, meaning there won’t be an increase in playing time for Luke Kennard or Vince Williams Jr.

Suggs has dealt with back, quad and knee issues that have kept him out for all but one game since January 3. While he’s considered out indefinitely, it’s difficult to imagine he returns to action before the end of the season. Suggs can be dropped in fantasy leagues while Cole Anthony and Anthony Black handle the point guard minutes for Orlando.

Carter Jr. continues to start at center for the Magic, but it hasn’t resulted in a massive leap in production. He has been solid on the glass, grabbing double digit rebounds in three of his last five starts. Carter Jr. remains the best fantasy center in Orlando, but neither he nor Goga Bitadze has provided standard league in recent weeks. Carter Jr. ranks just inside the top-150 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Per usual, Wagner and Paolo Banchero were the main sources of offense for Orlando. They combined to score 68 of Orlando’s 115 points, which wasn’t enough to counter Stephen Curry’s 56 points. Wagner has had a spectacular season, though he has been quieter in recent weeks. That can likely be attributed to sharing the ball and court with Banchero. Wagner ranks just outside the top-75 in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks, a far drop from his season-long value of just outside the top-25.

Golden State didn’t have an answer for Banchero early on in this game, which allowed him to score 24 points in the first half alone. Banchero wasn’t quite able to match his first half scoring total after the break, but he was able to get over 40 points for the second time this season and the first time since October. Banchero also shot a high percentage from the floor, which was great to see after he went eight straight games making less than 50 percent of his shot attempts. He’ll look to keep this going into Orlando’s final game of the week, which is a home matchup with Toronto on Sunday.

Bane led Memphis in minutes (43) on Tuesday, but he’s in danger of sitting out Friday against New York. If Bane is sidelined, Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard could see more playing time.

Anthony suffered a knee injury Tuesday against Cleveland and left that game early. Evidently, the injury isn’t severe, and he’ll be back in action without missing a game. Anthony should handle his typical workload.

Anthony didn’t return after hurting his knee against the Cavaliers on Tuesday but went through shootaround Thursday. He’s been starting at point guard lately, but could be replaced by Anthony Black if Anthony is not healthy enough to play.

Jackson Jr. was incredibly efficient on the offensive end in this one. He had 28 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field including a 3-of-3 performance from behind the three-point line. The 25-year-old power forward also contributed on defense with a steal and two blocks. Jackson Jr. was perhaps due for a game like this as he hadn’t had more than 22 points in any of his last six games entering play Tuesday.

Bane played a team-high 43 minutes in the overtime win over the Suns Tuesday. The 26-year-old shooting guard bounced back in a big way after a 2-of-13 performance against the Cavaliers on Sunday. Bane had at least seven assists for the third time in his last four games. He’s provided top-20 fantasy vale over the last two months after a slow start to the season.

Morant came up huge as he drove the lane, hung in the air and drained a shot to tie the game with the clock winding down at the end of regulation. In total, it was a 7-of-25 performance from the field for the 25-year-old point guard, but Morant came through at the foul line sinking all 14 of his free throw attempts. He’s only had at least 10 assists twice in February and is yet to have a 30-point game this month as the Grizzlies seem to get even contributions from their key players, making it difficult for Morant to have massive games with regularity.
