Zach Edey

Huff's absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as he was unlikely to be in the rotation if healthy. In addition to Zach Edey's recent return, the Grizzlies have Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama playing quality minutes off the bench.

If you're going to get on your podcast and call out an opposing player before playing them, you'd better show up. Green had some things to say about Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey and head coach Taylor Jenkins ahead of Thursday's game, and he turned in one of the worst performances of his career. This hasn't been the norm for Green, and he'll look to rebound when the Warriors visit the Timberwolves on Saturday.

After coming off the bench in his first game back from a sprained ankle, Edey was inserted into the starting lineup on Thursday. The rookie outplayed Draymond Green, who had some negative things to say about Edey and Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins on a recent episode of his podcast. Effective in the paint offensively and defensively, Edey also hit a 3-pointer during Thursday's 144-93 rout. Brandon Clarke, who had been the starting center, finished with eight points, 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocked shots in 24 minutes off the bench. We'll see if this holds, but Edey's fantasy value will be boosted if he remains a starter.

Edey is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Memphis will bump Edey back into the starting unit, which is great news for his fantasy upside. He may see limited minutes against the Warriors, since they tend to use smaller lineups. Brandon Clarke will come off the bench, but he should still see a significant role.
