Desmond Bane

MEM Shooting Guard #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Desmond Bane had 21 points (7-of-15 FGs), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and three 3-pointers against the Clippers on Monday.

Bane (illness) was a late addition to the injury report, but managed to play despite the questionable designation. That was good news for fantasy managers as Bane had a pretty good game. The 26-year-old shooting guard was just one rebounds and three assists away from having a triple-double. While he’s been outside the top-75 in fantasy value this season, his play has certainly picked up lately.
Ja Morant

MEM Point Guard #12

Ja Morant had 23 points (7-of-21 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and two 3-pointers against the Clippers on Monday.

Morant missed Saturday’s game against the Hawks with low back soreness, but wasn’t on the injury report Monday. Still, he may have been feeling some effects of the injury as he didn’t have a great game. Morant wasn’t very efficient as he had 23 points on 21 shots and turned the ball over six times. He was -12 in 29 minutes in the four-point loss. The 25-year-old point guard will look to bounce back Thursday against the Raptors.
Desmond Bane

MEM Shooting Guard #22

Desmond Bane (illness) is available for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Bane was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. Ultimately, he will suit up for Monday’s game against the Clippers and Memphis hasn’t said anything about him being limited in any way.
Desmond Bane

MEM Shooting Guard #22

Desmond Bane is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Clippers due to an illness.

Bane’s late addition to the injury report suggests he’s on the wrong side of questionable to face Los Angeles. If he’s ultimately ruled out, expect Scotty Pippen Jr., Jake LaRavia and Luke Kennard to see increased run.
Jay Huff

MEM Center #30

Jay Huff (right ankle sprain) is out for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Monday’s game will be the second Huff misses with his sprained ankle. His absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke, and Santi Aldama are ahead of Huff in the pecking order.
Marcus Smart

MEM Point Guard #36

Marcus Smart (right index finger injury) is out for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Smart injured his finger during Saturday’s win over the Hawks and did not return. While the severity of the injury is unknown, he will miss at least one game. Fellow reserves Scotty Pippen Jr. and Luke Kennard should pick up a few more minutes, but both have limited streaming value with Ja Morant in the lineup.
Ja Morant

MEM Point Guard #12

Ja Morant (low back soreness) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Morant was unavailable for Saturday’s win over the Hawks and did not travel with the team to Atlanta. He’ll play in Monday’s home game, which pushes Scotty Pippen Jr. to the bench. Pippen’s fantasy value takes a hit in the spot, but the plunge may not be as deep since the Grizzlies won’t have Marcus Smart.
Jaren Jackson Jr.

MEM Power Forward #13

Jaren Jackson Jr. accounted for 13 points (6-of-17 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal, one blocked shot, and one 3-pointer in 25 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Hawks.

Jackson didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but he gave fantasy managers a complete stat line. The Grizzlies big man has been excellent more often than not this season, so an occasional off night from the field won’t do too much damage to his fantasy value. Jackson will look to bounce back on Monday when the Grizzlies host the Clippers.
Desmond Bane

MEM Shooting Guard #22

Desmond Bane amassed 23 points (7-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, four steals, and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes in Saturday’s win over Atlanta.

After scoring 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting in wins over the Lakers and Warriors, Bane pumped in 23 on Saturday night. The scoring production hasn’t been what fantasy managers expected, so he’s ranked just outside the top 75 in 9-cat formats. However, the improved assist production is one reason Bane has been a 1st-round player over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers who have him rostered should remain patient, especially with the Grizzlies playing four games in Week 9.
Scotty Pippen Jr.

MEM Point Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. shot 9-of-12 from the field and 1-of-3 from the foul line in Saturday’s 128-112 win over the Hawks, tallying 22 points, five rebounds, nine assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

As has been the case on multiple occasions, Pippen flourished when allowed to start for an injured Ja Morant. While the turnover count (five) was a bit high, the overall production from the Grizzlies backup was excellent. Memphis plays four games in Week 9, beginning with the Clippers on Monday. Managers who added Pippen for Saturday’s slate should hold onto him until it’s certain that Morant will play.
