NBC SportsJa Morant (low back soreness) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Already dealing with lower back soreness, Morant aggravated the issue when he fell hard during the third quarter of Thursday's rout of the Warriors. There was no need for him to return then, and the Grizzlies will likely be without their starting point guard on Saturday. Scotty Pippen Jr. will move into the starting lineup if Morant cannot play. He's worth streaming in that role.

NBC SportsThe Grizzlies will start Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey against Golden State on Thursday.

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.

NBC SportsMarcus Smart (left shoulder soreness) will sit out Thursday's game against the Warriors and is considered day-to-day.

Smart was initially doubtful for Thursday's game, so his absence is unsurprising. His absence means more playing time for Scotty Pippen Jr., whose fantasy ceiling is limited with Ja Morant (back) available. Luke Kennard may also pick up a few more minutes, but he is not worth streaming on a 13-game night.
