Huerter will enter the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) are both sidelined for the first leg of this back-to-back set, so Huerter is likely to see extended minutes and usage in this one. He's worth a long look as a short-term streaming play.

Jerome (calf) will start Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jerome will make his regular-season debut and will immediately step into the starting five after rehabbing from a high-grade right calf strain. However, head coach Tuomas Iisalo said pregame that the 28-year-old guard will be on a "very strict minutes restriction," per Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian. With Jerome starting, Cam Spencer will come off the bench.

Dosunmu will start Saturday's game against the Heat.

The Bulls are missing their starting backcourt of Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) for the front leg of this back-to-back set. Dosunmu has been red hot in recent weeks and will be a popular play in daily formats Saturday.

Gardner will start Saturday's game against the Bulls.

With Tyler Herro (ribs), Norman Powell (personal) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) all unavailable, Gardner will step into the starting five for the first time in his career. The two-way player has averaged 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 10.5 minutes per game over his last six appearances with the parent club.

Jerome (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jerome will make his regular-season debut with the Grizzlies after suffering a high-grade right calf strain in the preseason. However, head coach Tuomas Iisalo said pregame that he will be on a "very strict minutes restriction," per Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian. The 28-year-old guard is coming off a career-best year with the Cavaliers in 2024-25, during which he averaged 12.5 points, 3.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 19.9 minutes per game in 70 regular-season outings (three starts).

Konchar (neck) will not play Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Konchar will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Grizzlies will be very shorthanded Saturday, so Vince Williams and GG Jackson could see extended minutes.

Jackson (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jackson was previously listed as doubtful, and the Grizzlies will proceed with caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, the Grizzlies may lean heavily on guys like GG Jackson, Vince Williams and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Green (hip/hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Green suffered a hip contusion following a hard fall to the court during Friday's game versus Cleveland, and he's still dealing with his lingering hamstring issue. If Green is able to push through his injuries, he may face restrictions out of precaution.

Caruso (adductor) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Caruso will miss a sixth straight game due to a right adductor strain. The veteran swingman's next opportunity to suit up will come against the Magic on Tuesday. With Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) also unavailable, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins are candidates for increased minutes.

Booker (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Clippers.

It was announced Jan. 25 that Booker would be sidelined for at least a week, and there's been no update since. For now, he can be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's away game versus Portland. Jalen Green, meanwhile, is questionable with his hamstring issue.
