Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against Miami. He's listed on the injury report because of shoulder soreness. However, with the Heat struggling, it's an ideal time for Morant to get the night off, especially after going for 44 points in 35 minutes on Friday versus the Cavaliers. Without him, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely handle things at the one, with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane in line for a bump in scoring opportunities.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the visiting Heat. He logged 35 minutes in Friday's 133-124 loss to the Cavs, exploding for 44 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, the Grizzlies need to keep Morant healthy for the postseason, meaning there's a good chance he'll sit out on Saturday. If that's the case, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely handle things at the one, with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane in line to lead the team in scoring.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) will be available to return after a two-game absence on Wednesday night for his team's big matchup with the Thunder. His return will help lessen the workload of Desmond Bane, but both guards will likely have to carry plenty of offense with Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf) out. Morant has a 33.1% usage rate with JJJ off the floor this season, so he should be in for a busy night if his shoulder is up for it. Since this game has the highest point total of any game this season, there will be plenty of points available in what should be an up-tempo matchup against the Thunder. If you can get Morant into your lineup for Wednesday, he brings a very high ceiling, as usual.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder. He has a Deltoid contusion. As a result, the 25-year-old has missed the last two games. Luke Kennard got the start versus the Hawks on Monday, ending the night with 17 points, seven assists, and two steals. Despite the tough matchup on tap, Kennard is worth starting in all fantasy lineups if Morant isn't available, especially with Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) ruled out and Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) questionable. Desmond Bane, amassing a game-high 35 points against Atlanta, would also benefit on the scoring end without Morant on the floor.
On Monday, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) will be unavailable to suit up against the Atlanta Hawks. Morant will miss his second straight game due to right shoulder pain. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely see an uptick in minutes. Pippen has a slightly higher upside as a solid fantasy option for this evening. He started in place of Morant on Saturday, likely leading to him starting again on Monday.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Morant is in danger of missing his second straight game due to right shoulder pain. The expectation is that Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will see increased run if Morant is unable to go. Pippen has the slightly higher upside, but both guards are worth a look as streaming options if Morant sits once again. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Monday for another update.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) is not on the injury report for Thursday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. The Grizzlies superstar was unavailable for the previous game due to a sore knee. Luke Kennard received a start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 12 and is poised to return to the bench now that Morant is back. Morant is having his best month of the season in February, averaging 23.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.5 steals.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) will miss the game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. He was previously considered a game-time decision for the contest, but the team has downgraded Morant's status from questionable to out. With Morant sidelined, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. will assume additional responsibilities. Meanwhile, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. are expected to increase their offensive contributions.
Ja Morant Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup With Clippers
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Morant is dealing with left knee soreness after finishing with 26 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and one steal in a win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. If the superstar guard is unable to play, Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen will anchor the club's backcourt. However, neither player will be a reliable fantasy option this evening.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is set to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday after being upgraded from questionable to available. He will return after missing two games with shoulder soreness. Desmond Bane (ankle) will not be involved on Monday, so Morant should carry a huge load offensively for the Grizzlies. Luke Kennard started the last two games in Morant's absence and may remain in the starting lineup with Bane out. A few weeks ago, Morant cooked up a nice double-double with 21 points and 12 assists in his only previous matchup against the Spurs this season.
