• Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Dealing with back soreness

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Morant is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to low back soreness. Morant missed eight games in November due to a hip injury and has also experienced back and knee problems in recent weeks, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. His absence would be a huge blow for the Grizzlies, however, as the star floor general has averaged 23.8 points, 7.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game over his last five appearances. If Morant can't go Thursday, expect Scotty Pippen to take his place in the lineup.

• Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Morant registered 20 points (6-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers. On the surface, Morant had a strong performance Monday and delivered another impressive stat line. However, he had major struggles when dealing with Max Christie as his primary defender. Morant finished with more field-goal attempts than points scored, and he also committed a season-high seven turnovers. Fantasy managers will surely live with that lack of efficiency, though, as long as he continues to light up the stat sheet regularly.

  Morant finished with 28 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 135-119 victory over the Nets. Morant returned to the starting lineup after a one-game absence and did it with an eye-popping performance, carrying the Grizzlies to victory with an outstanding effort on both ends of the court. Morant finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his second triple-double of the season. Morant has been on a tear of late, surpassing the 25-point mark in four of his last six contests and averaging 24.2 points, 7.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game in that stretch.
