Grizzlies' Jake LaRavia: Doubtful for Wednesday
LaRavia (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
LaRavia is unlikely to play through lower-back soreness Wednesday, and his next chance to suit up for the Grizzlies would be Friday against the Pelicans. If the former first-rounder is ultimately ruled out as expected, Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama stand out as candidates for increased run off Memphis' bench against Charlotte.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Probable for Wednesday
Kennard (ankle) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
Kennard dealt with his fair share of injuries earlier in the season but has played in the last seven games for Memphis despite dealing with some ankle soreness. The 28-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 46.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Held in check
Aldama posted two points (1-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over the Timberwolves.
Aldama was coming off an impressive two-game stretch with averages of 24.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists, but he couldn't generate much offensively Monday. His production has been sporadic for most of the season, and it's tough for him to provide consistent value with the Grizzlies having such a deep rotation.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Plays just 16 minutes
Clarke finished with seven points (2-3 FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 16 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over Minnesota.
Clarke has been just a fringe rotation player for the Grizzlies lately with the team starting to get healthier. Over his last five games, Clarke averaged just 8.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.6 minutes.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Scores four points
Jackson produced four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over Minnesota.
This was Jackson's debut after the wing was sidelined for nearly three months to begin the season while completing his recovery from the surgery he underwent Sept. 4 to repair his fractured foot. Coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned that Jackson will be brought along slowly as he regains his conditioning, but minutes will be tough to come by in Memphis' crowded wing rotation, which makes him just a player to monitor in deeper formats for now.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Extends scoring stretch Monday
Bane logged 22 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 108-106 victory over the Timberwolves.
Even though Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson could have bigger roles on offense on a more regular basis, there's no question Bane has found a way to stand out as a reliable scoring threat for Memphis. He's scored at least 20 points in five games in a row, averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game in that span.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Scores 19 points in return
Morant (foot) notched 19 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-13 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over the Timberwolves.
Morant returned from a one-game absence, and even though he didn't lead the team in scoring, there's no question he provided a spark in the backcourt with his impressive two-way play. The star floor general has struggled to stay healthy this season, but he's been decisive and impactful whenever he's been on the floor. Through five games in January, Morant is averaging 21.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Records double-double Monday
Jackson supplied 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over Minnesota.
Jackson continues establishing himself as one of the most consistent big men in the Western Conference. While he lacks the star power of other players in the position, there's no question he's having an excellent year. The numbers back him up, as Jackson is averaging 24.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 steals per game across nine outings since the beginning of January.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Moves to bench
Kennard will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
This is an expected move with Ja Morant (foot) returning from a one-game absence. Kennard fared well in his fill-in start Friday against the Spurs with 17 points, four assists, three rebounds and two three-pointers in 26 minutes.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Available to play
Morant (foot) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Morant missed Friday's game versus the Spurs, but he's all set to see his usual minutes Monday. Luke Kennard will likely shift back to the bench with this news. In Morant's last four appearances, he averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Upgraded to probable
Morant (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against Minnesota.
Morant was previously listed as questionable after missing Friday's game versus the Spurs. He's trending in the right direction, however, and could get the green light if he makes it through warmups without any setbacks. If Morant does suit up, Luke Kennard will likely head back to the bench.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Questionable for Monday
Morant (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Morant wasn't available in Friday's blowout win over the Spurs, and while he's listed as questionable, a decision on his status will be made closer to Monday's 2:30 p.m. tipoff. Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen are candidates to see increased roles if Morant remains sidelined Monday.

Grizzlies' Marcus Smart: Remains out
Smart (finger) is out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Smart was tabbed as week-to-week on Jan. 10, and while the most recent update suggested that he was progressing well in his recovery, it seems he's not ready to return to the hardwood yet. Until Memphis provides another update, Smart should continue to be considered week-to-week.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Not listed on injury report
Edey (nose) is not on the injury report and will be available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Edey exited Friday's win over the Spurs after receiving a blow to his nose, but the big man will be fine and should handle his regular workload Monday. Edey is averaging 4.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game in seven contests since returning to the starting lineup on Jan. 4.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Recalled to NBA
The Grizzlies recalled Jackson from the G League's Memphis Hustle on Sunday.
Jackson debuted for the Hustle on Wednesday, finishing with 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block. He's still knocking off the rust and will need to get his conditioning up, but he could back in the rotation for the Grizzlies sooner rather than later.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Scores season-high 29 points
Aldama finished Friday's 140-112 victory over the Spurs with 29 points (10-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes.
The Grizzlies destroyed the Spurs to the tune of a 28-point victory, and Aldama played a prominent role in the win. He logged 30 minutes despite not starting, as he was part of the main lineup once Zach Edey (nose) departed the contest. The Spaniard has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games while scoring in double digits in four of his last five outings. His bench role limits his upside a bit, but he's a reliable performer in deep formats due to his ability to easily rack up stats.

Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Extremely efficient Friday
Wells ended with 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 140-112 victory over the Spurs.
From an efficiency perspective, Wells had one of his best performances of the season, as the rookie missed just three of his 11 shots while draining six threes, his second-best mark this season. Arguably, his most impressive sequence was a one-legged three-pointer over Victor Wembanyama, and he continued an outstanding stretch of play. Over eight games this month, Wells has scored in double digits five times while averaging 14.1 points per contest.
