Zach Edey

With Memphis playing Friday's game without its best rebounder, Zach Edey, this was an excellent opportunity for Nurkic to put up a high number in the rebounds category. His 17 boards matched the veteran center's season-high, and he finished with his sixth double-double. While Nurkic's fantasy value is ranked outside the top-200 over the last two weeks, he's a helpful option for managers needing rebounds. Add in the seven assists, and Friday's was a good night to have Nurk on your roster.

While Morant's return from a strained calf is the most significant change to the Grizzlies' starting lineup, it isn't the only one. While Jock Landale has been the preferred choice in the past, Aldama will step in to fill the void left by the injured Zach Edey (ankle). Edey will be out for at least four weeks, so there's still time for Landale to slide into the lineup. But this decision bodes well for Aldama's fantasy value, which is capped when he comes off the bench.

Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo decided to go with Aldama to fill in for the injured Zach Edey on Friday, and his faith was rewarded. After scoring 22 points in Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers, the 7-footer hit that number again on Friday. Aldama finished with a complete stat line, and the production may be enough to keep him in the starting lineup moving forward. Jock Landale, who filled in for Edey to begin the season, played 27 minutes off the bench. He finished with eight points, nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers.

Edey is averaging 13.6 points and 11.1 rebounds a game for Memphis while being a defensive anchor in the paint.

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey will be reevaluated in four weeks with a stress reaction in his left ankle.
