Memphis will be making some changes to the starting lineup after dropping two consecutive games. Pippen Jr. and Aldama will replace Luke Kennard and Zach Edey in the opening unit. It is an interesting adjustment against Ivica Zubac since this will be a smaller starting unit for Memphis, though Pippen Jr. will provide them with a true point guard presence in the starting lineup.
Bane is a late addition to the injury report, so fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status leading up to tip-off. Ja Morant has already been ruled out, so Bane's absence could mean more playing time for Jaylen Wells and Scotty Pippen Jr. alongside Luke Kennard and the rest of Memphis' starting five.
Wells (head) returned to Monday's game against the Suns in the third quarter, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Wells exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent head injury in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Suns, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
With Zach Edey (ankle) and Vince Williams Jr. (foot) both sidelined, Jackson and Huff will enter the starting unit. This will be Jackson's first time in the starting lineup this season, while it will be Huff's first start since November.
