Desmond Bane

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.

Smart's potential absence may impact Scotty Pippen Jr. more than anyone else, as the Grizzlies' backup point guard may play a few more minutes. However, neither Smart nor Pippen has much value outside of deep leagues, with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane available.

Bane's 20-point game was his first since November 20, but the improved percentage is more important. In the eight games prior, he shot 41.4% from the field and averaged 12.1 points, a far cry from what many have come to expect from the Grizzlies guard. Bane having a night like Friday was much-needed and should alleviate the concerns of some fantasy managers.

Morant and Bane are the changes to the Grizzlies lineup, as they sat out Sunday's win over the Wizards. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Marcus Smart return to the bench, taking hits to their respective fantasy values. Wells, Clarke, and Jackson round out the starting quintet.

The Grizzlies' star guard duo missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday, but they'll be back in the lineup for this game. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Marcus Smart should end up returning to the bench.
