Grizzlies' Ziaire Williams: Deemed week-to-week
Williams (foot, ankle) was deemed week-to-week Saturday.
Williams is set to miss a sixth straight game Sunday, and it looks questionable whether he'll return during the regular season. His role in the rotation has been minimal, so his absence isn't affecting the Grizzlies significantly.

Grizzlies' Kenneth Lofton: Scores 11 in 10 minutes
Lofton had 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 10 minutes during Friday's 151-114 win over the Rockets.
Lofton was able to clean up in garbage time, doing all of his damage in 10 minutes. Lofton has seen double-digit minutes in four of the past six games, but his sporadic role makes him hard to trust in most fantasy formats despite the upside.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Scores 25 in 20 minutes
Bane chipped in 25 points (10-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 151-114 victory over Houston.
The Grizzlies poured in 151 points against the Rockets, the second highest amount in franchise history (152). Bane and Luke Kennard caught fire from beyond the arc, combining for 15 three-pointers. Bane has been outstanding over the past five games for Memphis and for fantasy managers, averaging 21.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.6 triples.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Goes bonkers for 30 points
Kennard contributed 30 points (10-11 FG, 10-11 3Pt), three assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 151-114 win over the Rockets.
Kennard's 30 points matches his career high, and the 10 triples marks a new career best, with all 11 of his shot attempts coming from beyond the arc. Kennard's minutes are trending up, and it has a lot to do with his ability to stretch the floor for Memphis with a total of 27 three-pointers over his past six games.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will come off bench again
Morant (conditioning) will come off the bench Friday against the Rockets, Evan Barnes of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Morant came off the bench during Wednesday's win over the Rockets and posted 17 points (6-13 FG), five assists, four rebounds two steals and one block in 24 minutes during his return from a nine-game absence due to a suspension and conditioning concerns. The All-Star guard figures to see similar usage in Friday's rematch against Houston, but head coach Taylor Jenkins hasn't made a decision on whether or not the point guard will return to the starting lineup Sunday in Atlanta.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Remains out Friday
Williams (shoulder) will not take the floor Friday versus the Rockets.
Williams has averaged just 4.7 minutes in his 11 appearances for Memphis this season anyway, so his absence shouldn't be felt from a fantasy standpoint. Williams' next opportunity to clear the injury report arrives Sunday in Atlanta.

Grizzlies' Ziaire Williams: Won't play Friday
Williams (foot) will miss Friday's game versus the Rockets.
Williams' foot soreness popped up on the injury report Wednesday upon his return to the team, suggesting he's up to get some treatment from the parent organization. It's unclear how long Williams will be sidelined, but he's not expected to be much of a factor for the Grizzlies, even when healthy.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Dishes out seven assists Wednesday
Bane finished Wednesday's 130-125 win over the Rockets with 20 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes.
Even with Ja Morant playing 24 minutes off the bench in his return from a nine-game absence due to a suspension and for conditioning purposes, Bane was able to retain a key playmaking role. He tied with starting point guard Tyus Jones for the team lead in assists, though both Bane and Jones are likely to notice some downturn in the category once Morant steps back into the starting five and reclaims his usual minutes. Bane averaged 5.1 assists while Morant was sidelined the past nine games after previously averaging 4.0 per game for the season prior to that stretch.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Returns with solid line off bench
Morant (suspension/conditioning) supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 130-125 victory over the Rockets.
Though Morant wasn't returning from any type of injury, Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins still chose to ease the star point guard back into the mix by bringing him off the bench with a minute restriction in his return from a nine-game absence. While playing on the second unit for the first time in his career, Morant looked like his usual self. While Morant may come off the bench for another game or two while he steadily climbs back to his season-long average of 32.3 minutes, fantasy managers can activate him with confidence again.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Pours in season-high 37 points
Jackson produced a season-high 37 points (14-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 130-125 win over the Rockets.
Jackson stepped up big time while Ja Morant missed the previous nine games, and even though the star point guard returned to action in a bench role Wednesday, Jackson didn't let off the gas. Over the last 10 games, Jackson is averaging 24.1 points, 6.9 boards, 1.9 blocks, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.3 assists and 0.9 steals while converting at a 53.5 percent rate from the field.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Starting Wednesday
Roddy will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
Roddy will be filling in for the suspended Dillon Brooks, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Tyus Jones, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Xavier Tillman. In his previous two starts this season, Roddy registered 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Will come off bench Wednesday
Morant will come off the bench in his return for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Morant is likely being brought off the bench in an effort to conserve his minutes as he works on getting his conditioning back, so he's a somewhat risky target in daily fantasy leagues. Per Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast, he's expected to log minutes in the low 20s to begin, but that should still be enough floor time for him to put up a useful stat line in most season-long settings. Head coach Taylor Jenkins said that Morant might come off the bench for the next few games, which could help Tyus Jones sustain some low-end value while he maintains his starting role.

The Grizzlies recalled Williams from the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Wednesday, but he will be listed as out for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to right foot soreness.
Williams is averaging 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14.7 minutes across 36 games for the Grizzlies this season. His next chance to suit up will be Friday's rematch with Houston.

Grizzlies' Ziaire Williams: Paces team on scoreboard
Williams logged 26 points (8-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 114-87 win over the Vipers.
Williams was assigned to the G League ahead of Saturday's matchup, and he was dominant in his return to the Hustle. He's scored at least 20 points in three of his last five G League appearances and should remain heavily involved if he stays with the Hustle for the final week of the regular season.
