Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (wrist) finished the Game 1 postseason meeting with the Lakers by scoring 18 points. He also had six boards and two steals while shooting 8-for-14 from the field and 2-for-3 from deep. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old suffered a wrist injury in the fourth quarter. Morant had dealt with this injury before entering this game but wasn't included in the injury report. However, things don't look promising, so if he misses time, Tyus Jones will become a lock for DFS managers on Wednesday for Game 2.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant posted his seventh triple-double of the season on Sunday despite suffering a lopsided loss to the Chicago Bulls. The rising star registered 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists while shooting just 7-for-16 from the floor and 2-for-5 from beyond the arc. Morant also turned the ball over five times in this contest, but the bonus of his triple-double could have outweighed some of his negatives in points leagues. Shockingly, he's outside of the top 80 in per-game value for nine-category formats at the moment.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) was unable to play in their contest against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, but head coach Taylor Jenkins said that he anticipates Morant being good to go on Wednesday. The 23-year-old didn't play during the last time the Grizzlies faced off against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they'll be without Paul George (knee) in this matchup. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as they get back their MVP candidate.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Grizzlies are regrouping for a deep postseason run, so getting Morant to 100% is the top priority. As usual, Tyus Jones will roll with the first five. The 26-year-old has averaged 17.1 points, 8.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in 20 starts this season, making him an ideal fantasy option.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant rejoined the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Hawks and had a great time with a team-high 27 points, three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 29 minutes. Desmond Bane added 25 points and the Grizzlies picked up a fifth consecutive win. Morant had an off night from deep, but he shot a good 9-for-17 overall and was 9-for-11 at the charity stripe. Tyus Jones was pushed back to the bench, but he was able to make a decent impact as well, registering 13 points and five assists. It's great to see Morant back in action, and fantasy managers can count on him to produce across the board each night.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant returned after his suspension on Wednesday night and came off of the bench during the team's five-point victory over the Houston Rockets. The young star played 24 minutes and gathered 17 points, five assists, four rebounds, two steals, and one block on 6-for-13 shooting. He didn't seem to miss a beat as he threw down a poster dunk using his insane athletic ability that we've all grown accustomed to. Tyus Jones will take a hit to his fantasy value as Morant will likely get back into the starting five in no time.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (personal) will come off the bench on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Morant is returning from an eight-game suspension and will play primarily with the second unit in his return. Morant will also have his minutes capped in the "low 20s". Morant's return should cause Tyus Jones to take a hit in fantasy value, especially once he is back to his normal minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (personal) is set to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. However, it is not out of the question Morant ends up in the second unit in his return. Morant was suspended for eight games due to detrimental conduct to the league and has let the Grizzlies staff know he is willing to have a reduced role in his return. Head coach Taylor Jenkins hinted this is something they are considering. If true, Tyus Jones should continue to start and hold fantasy value even with Morant back.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (conditioning) said that his status is still "up in the air" for Wednesday's game against Houston. Head coach Taylor Jenkins did say that he anticipates Morant to play though. Fantasy managers will want to check back for official updates to the injury report when the Grizzlies submit their official list. Signs are pointing to Morant playing right now, but if he remains sidelined for one more game then Tyus Jones would still be the biggest beneficiary.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant could make his return to the lineup as early as Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. The superstar guard has finished serving his eight-game suspension. He'll remain on the sideline for Monday's game as the team continues to ramp him back up into game shape. That means, Tyus Jones will receive at least one more start. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Jones in their lineups on Monday as he has been an important piece lately. However, Jones is going to take backseat to Morant once he's ready to play.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (conditioning) has been officially ruled out of Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant is eligible to play for the first time after receiving an eight-game suspension, but will not play as he works his way back into game shape. Tyus Jones will continue to run point with the Grizzlies and has been stellar as a starter. Jones followed up his triple-double on Friday with a 13-point, 14-assist performance on Saturday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (personal) will remain away from the team for at least the next four games. There was originally no timetable for Morant's return so this at least gives a short timeframe of Morant's absence. Tyus Jones will continue to start and is a must-roster player while Morant is sidelined. Based on this timeline, the next chance Morant will have to play will be March 17th against the San Antonio Spurs.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will be "away from the team for at least the next two games," according to a statement released by the organization. The 23-year-old has averaged 27.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 1.1 steals in 53 appearances this season. However, Morant's name has been tied to various off-the-court incidents, with the Washington Post publishing a story recently of an alleged incident from last summer involving a 17-year-old boy that may have included the MVP candidate brandishing a firearm. To make matters worse, Morant received even more scrutiny after he was observed on Sunday morning displaying what appeared to be a handgun during an Instagram Live video. Without question, fantasy managers are hoping he turns his behavior around and gets back on the floor. But until Morant returns, Tyus Jones, who has averaged 18.8 points, 7.7 assists, and 2.4 steals in nine starts this season, is an automatic lock for starting fantasy lineups.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant collected his sixth triple-double of the season and the 10th of his career while coasting to an easy win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old ended the game with 39 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals while shooting 15-for-29 from the floor and 9-for-11 from the line. While Morant is firmly in the MVP race and a top player in the NBA, the knocks against him in fantasy basketball are his free throw and field goal percentages as well as his high turnover numbers. In points leagues, he's still a top-ten option.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant filled the stat sheet in Wednesday night's 117-111 win over the Utah Jazz. In 34 minutes, Morant logged 20 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and two steals. The 23-year-old stud shot only 8-for-26 from the field, but with the help of power forward Jaren Jackson Jr., the Grizzlies were able to come out on top. In 31 minutes, Jackson had an excellent performance, recording 26 points, nine rebounds, five steals and four blocks while shooting 8-for-19 from the field. Brandon Clarke also logged a humble eight points, 10 rebounds, three assists, four steals and three blocks in 31 minutes. Available in 41.7 percent of ESPN leagues, Clarke should be considered a viable streaming option in deeper formats.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant scored a game-high 25 points and had six rebounds and seven assists in Sunday's 119-109 loss to Boston. He didn't make any threes but shot a solid 9-for-18 from the field and committed only one turnover. The Grizzlies star has started 2023 in hot form, shooting nearly 53 percent from the field and averaging 29.4 points with 7.6 rebounds and 8.6 assists. Morant should continue to roll in the next matchup as well, with the Grizzlies set to host the Jazz, who have struggled to stop point guards all year.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant almost had a 30-point triple-double in Friday's matchup against Minnesota, putting up a game-high 32 points on 13-for-23 shooting with nine rebounds and nine assists. He also snapped up three steals while shooting 3-for-7 from deep. Morant has produced a couple of very strong weeks and finished off last month with back-to-back triple-doubles before continuing his tear in February. He is averaging 30.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 9.0 assists through his first four appearances this month.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (wrist) will not play Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Morant was questionable to play despite going through the team's practice on Saturday, but will sit due to soreness in his wrist. Tyus Jones is expected to start without Morant in the lineup and has been a high-end stream when starting. Morant is not expected to miss an extended period of time but should be considered questionable for their next game on Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (wrist) is questionable ahead of the meeting with Toronto on Sunday. Morant amassed 24 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists on Friday night against the Cavaliers. However, it appears his nagging right wrist soreness could keep him off the floor. Of course, if Morant doesn't suit up, Tyus Jones will automatically become a must-start in all fantasy formats while also becoming a popular DFS value option.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant made it back-to-back triple-doubles for himself in Sunday's matchup against Indiana, guiding the team to a 112-100 win. He finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists, becoming the first Grizzly ever to record a 25-10-15 line. Morant also had a block and two steals on the defensive end, but his shooting performance could've been better, with him going only 1-for-6 with the three-ball and finishing 9-for-21 overall from the field. The 2022 All-Star now boasts five triple-doubles for the whole campaign. Morant averaged 28.0 points in January and enters the next month with a three-game run of double-digit assists, so it's safe to say that he's currently playing some of the best basketball of his career.
