Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hip) is not expected to be in the lineup for Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. Sources have told ESPN that Morant will miss Game 4 due to the left hip injury he suffered in Thursday's Game 3 loss. Following his exit from Thursday's game, Morant was spotted on crutches in the tunnel, and he was unable to practice on Friday. Memphis received excellent minutes from Scotty Pippen Jr. in Thursday's loss, and his role is poised to grow even larger in Saturday's game. Meanwhile, Luke Kennard is anticipated to take Morant's spot in the starting lineup. The three-point specialist averaged 12.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals while starting during the regular season.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (ankle) will play in Friday's elimination game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant is dealing with a "severe" ankle sprain and received an injection in his ankle on Thursday. He was originally listed as questionable for Friday's game before the team upgraded his status to available. Morant's presence in the lineup is a major boost for Memphis, but it remains to be seen how effectively he can play through his ankle injury.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (ankle) has been officially listed as questionable for Friday's play-in game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant's status is iffy after he hurt his right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Following the game, the Grizzlies superstar said that he will play in Friday's do-or-die contest, but he missed Thursday's practice, and the team considers him a game-time decision. Losing Morant would be a significant blow to Memphis' hopes of winning and making the playoffs. His absence is set to elevate the fantasy value of Scotty Pippen Jr.. Vince Williams Jr. and Luke Kennard might also benefit, depending on who fills Morant's spot in the first unit.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) says he'll suit up for Friday's Play-In game against the Kings or Mavericks. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. Still, Morant finished with 22 points in 35 minutes. DFS managers will likely see the 24-year-old pop up on the Injury report heading into Friday's contest. If Morant suffers a setback and gets ruled out, Scotty Pippen Jr., who averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 21 starts during the regular season, will likely take over at the one.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in clash against the Golden State Warriors. Morant did not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks due to a shoulder issue. The Grizzlies superstar was on fire during the final stretch of the regular season and will be expected to carry that form into Tuesday's high-stakes game. This month, Morant has averaged 30.2 points and 5.8 assists with over 41 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday versus Detroit. He wasn't listed on the injury report throughout the day on Saturday. However, Morant won't suit up due to an illness. The late scratch is certainly frustrating for DFS participants and fantasy managers. But his absence should result in increased production from Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Scotty Pippen Jr.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) remains questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers after missing the last six games because of a hamstring strain. However, on a wider scale, with the team relieving Taylor Jenkins of his head coaching duties, there are now questions about Morant's future with the organization, specifically, whether he wants to remain in Memphis. The front office has made it known in the past that the multi-time All-Star isn't on the block. But even if Morant wanted to be moved this offseason, "at least two league executives" have questioned his value from rival clubs around the National Basketball Association. Without question, the 25-year-old has MVP potential. Unfortunately, he's had trouble staying on the floor throughout his career due to injuries and off-the-court incidents. His production has also dipped this season, averaging 22.3 points, his lowest since the 2020-21 campaign. While the new offense that was installed is a big reason why Morant has suffered on the scoring end, his inability to stay healthy has also severely compromised his worth for fantasy managers.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after missing the last six games due to a hamstring strain. The Grizzlies are comfortably sitting in the playoff picture. Yet, it didn't stop the team from firing head coach Taylor Jenkins on Friday. With that said, if Morant can't play, Scotty Pippen Jr., averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.7 steals in 20 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup, with Desmond Bane, Santi Aldama, and Jaren Jackson Jr. in line to see more scoring opportunities.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Thursday's tilt against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has still not fully recovered from a hamstring strain and will miss a sixth consecutive game. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Luke Kennard's workloads have increased during Morant's absence, along with Desmond Bane's offensive usage. Pippen Jr. is likely to remain in the starting unit, where he has averaged 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals this season.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hamstring) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. The Grizzlies star is nursing a sore hamstring and will get his next opportunity to return on Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Meanwhile, Scotty Pippen Jr. should continue to receive extra usage on Tuesday and is looking at a second consecutive start. Luke Kennard has also been used as a starter during Morant's absence, but he was more effective coming off the bench on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 15 points. Pippen Jr. has notched 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.6 steals across his previous 18 starts this campaign.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Morant will miss his fourth game in a row due to a lingering left hamstring issue. The Grizzlies haven't given a good timetable for Morant, but his next chance to play will come on Tuesday. In the meantime, Luke Kennard should remain in the starting five on Friday. Kennard has been offering low-end streaming value, but Desmond Bane and Scotty Pippen Jr. are the better fantasy options right now.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (hamstring) will be out for a third straight game on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is experiencing soreness in his left calf, and there's no reason to risk his health since Memphis is comfortably sitting in a playoff spot. With Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) also unavailable, Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard made up the starting backcourt in Monday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Bane went berserk with 7-for-7 shooting from downtown and netted a season-high 44 points. Pippen Jr. is considered questionable for Wednesday, so the same scenario could repeat itself against Portland.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Morant sat out on Saturday due to a shoulder issue, so it appears he is over that problem. Now, Morant will miss Monday's contest due to left hamstring tightness. When healthy, Morant is a stud as seen by his 44-point performance on Friday. Sadly, it hasn't been easy keeping it on the court lately considering this is his fourth absence this month. The absence of Morant should mean that Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen Jr. (wrist) should have larger roles in the rotation. Both are worth a look as streaming options, but Pippen is the better of the two, assuming he's cleared to play.

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 guardJa 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 KennardandScotty 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.

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.
