Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson led the Grizzlies with 21 points (6-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in a 122-116 loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Jackson has been part of the rotation for most of the past two months, but he only started figuring things out over the past two weeks. He has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games while shooting at least 50 percent from the floor in all but one game during that stretch. With Memphis shifting towards a rebuild for the rest of this season, Jackson should play big minutes and be a productive option for the remainder of the year.
Jahmai Mashack

MEM Guard #21

Jahmai Mashack started on Wednesday and contributed nine points (4-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer against the Nuggets.

This was the second time in their last three games that Mashack started for the Grizzlies. The former Tennessee Volunteer was drafted late in the second round this past summer, and after not seeing much time to start his career, he has taken on a larger role over the last five games. The scoring has been inconsistent, but his elite defense in college has transferred over; he has at least two steals in each of his last five games and is averaging 3.2 swipes during this stretch.
Jahmai Mashack

MEM Guard #21

Ty Jerome, Jaylen Wells, Jahmai Mashack, GG Jackson and Kyle Anderson will start Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

The Grizzlies won’t have Cedric Coward for Wednesday’s game, which opens a spot in the starting lineup. Mashack, the 59th overall pick in the 2025 draft, will fill the resulting void. While starting gives him a good opportunity, the rookie is not a must-stream player.
Walter Clayton

MEM Guard #4

Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Clayton will miss a second consecutive game with a calf contusion. With Javon Small being sent to the G League, the Grizzlies will count on Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Cam Spencer to divide the point guard minutes.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Initially listed as doubtful, Coward will miss Wednesday’s game after not playing the second half of Monday’s loss to the Warriors. Scotty Pippen Jr. replaced him in the lineup on Monday and could be in line for a start, but Pippen is still under a minutes restriction. Also, more minutes will be available to Taylor Hendricks.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward (knee) and Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) are doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

While Clayton was out for Monday’s loss to the Warriors with a calf contusion, Coward left in the first half with a sore right knee. Both players are considered doubtful for Wednesday’s game, with the latter’s potential absence being more impactful. Scotty Pippen Jr. replaced Coward in the lineup to begin the second half on Monday, but he is still under a minutes restriction. Taylor Hendricks logged 25 minutes off the bench against the Warriors and could be in line for a similar role on Wednesday.
Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7

Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Aldama continues to be listed on the injury report due to right knee injury management, with Wednesday’s game being the eighth in the last nine that he’s missed. Due to Memphis’s lack of healthy post players, Kyle Anderson has been the starting center for the last two games. In that role, he’s worth streaming in deep leagues.
Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. accounted for 11 points (5-of-6 FGs), four assists, four steals, one block and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

Pippen played 20 minutes off the bench on Monday, two fewer than his season debut against the Trail Blazers on Friday. However, like teammate Ty Jerome, the minutes restriction did not prohibit Pippen from providing solid value in multiple categories, including assists and steals. With Cedric Coward (knee) not returning for the second half, Pippen replaced him in the lineup. That could be the Grizzlies’ course of action if Coward can’t play in Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.
Taylor Hendricks

MEM Forward #22

Taylor Hendricks amassed 15 points (5-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

After totaling 11 points and six rebounds in his first two appearances as a Grizzly, Hendricks had one of his best games of the season on Monday. Recording his first double-double, the 6-foot-9 forward recorded a season-high 10 boards. And the 15 points were the most in a game for Hendricks since December 23, when he dropped 21 on the Grizzlies while still with the Jazz. With Santi Aldama (knee) out, there’s more room for Hendricks within the rotation, even if he isn’t a true center. There may be some deep-league value to be had during the silly season because of Hendricks’ defensive potential.
Ty Jerome

MEM Guard-Forward #2

Ty Jerome finished Monday’s loss to the Warriors with 19 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Despite still being under a minutes limit, Jerome has been a valuable fantasy option when available. He’s scored at least 19 points in four of his five appearances this season, shooting 56.7 percent from the field. With the Grizzlies only playing once more before the All-Star break, Wednesday against the Nuggets, availability should not be an issue for Jerome. So even if Jerome remains capped at 20 minutes, he’s more than capable of providing reliable fantasy value.
