Ja Morant

Morant is on track to return to action after missing a game against the Spurs late last week. The star point guard will look to bounce back after posting an underwhelming 12 points in his first game against the Timberwolves this season. Luke Kennard will likely return to a bench role with Morant healthy.

Morant (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Morant (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Morant is questionable for Monday after missing Friday's game against the Spurs with a foot injury. If he were to miss another game, Scotty Pippen Jr. would fill in and be on the streaming radar for fantasy managers.

Instead of replacing the injured Ja Morant (foot) with a point guard, Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins decided to go with a shooter (Kennard). The move worked like a charm. Desmond Bane had one of the best all-around performances of his NBA career, and Kennard shot the ball well while also dishing out four assists. Rostered in 6% of Yahoo leagues, his season-long fantasy value hasn't been much to write home about. However, nights like Friday prove that Kennard can add value when the Grizzlies are shorthanded on the perimeter.
