Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Logs 30 minutes in spot start
Rotowire
Hendricks totaled seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.
Hendricks moved into the starting lineup for the second time in the past three games, although he was unable to repeat his heroics from the night before. However, while his offensive production was lacking in this one, he has now recorded 12 combined steals-plus-blocks in his past four games. During that time, he has been a borderline top-50 player, averaging 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Tops 20 points again
Rotowire
Jerome ended with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three assists over 25 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to Detroit.
Jerome tallied at least 20 points for the fourth time in his past five games, continuing his strong per-minute production. While his per-game numbers have been more than adequate, he has appeared in only seven games in the past month despite being relatively healthy. Given the sporadic nature of his role, Jerome should be viewed as an elite streaming candidate when he is available.
Small posted 23 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons.
Small continues to deliver, despite shifting between the bench and the starting unit. With Memphis openly resting players, Small's playing time has been tough to project. However, he has scored in double figures in four of the past five games, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers during that span, which is good enough for top-60 value. While there is certainly an element of risk, Small is someone to consider adding across most formats.
With Jaylen Wells (shoulder) out, Spencer will step into the starting lineup for the third time since the All-Star break. As a starter this season (16 games), the sharpshooter has averaged 10.8 points, 8.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds across 28.9 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Coming off bench Friday
Rotowire
Small is not in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Pistons on Friday.
Small started Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Mavericks and finished with 19 points, nine assists, two rebounds, one block and three three-pointers over 28 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role for Friday's contest due to the return of Ty Jerome (calf).

Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Hendricks will start Friday's game against the Pistons.
With GG Jackson (foot) sidelined, Hendricks will join the first unit. As a starter for the Grizzlies this season (three games), the 22-year-old forward has averaged 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.7 minutes per tilt.

Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Won't go Friday
Rotowire
Wells (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Detroit.
Wells will miss his second game of the season and his first since Feb. 7 due to a right shoulder contusion. His next opportunity to play will come Monday in Chicago. In the second-year swingman's stead, Cam Spencer, Jahmai Mashack and Tyler Burton are candidates to see increased minutes.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Jackson (foot) is out for Friday's game in Detroit.
With Jackson unavailable, Taylor Hendricks will have a chance to start and earn major minutes, making him an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues. For now, Jackson should be considered questionable for Monday's game in Chicago.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Clayton (ankle) is out for Friday's game in Detroit.
This will be the third straight game on the inactive list for Clayton, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's game in Chicago. Cam Spencer should see quality minutes Friday night with Memphis' backcourt extremely banged up.

Grizzlies' Taj Gibson: Cleared to debut Friday
Rotowire
Gibson (reconditioning) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Gibson signed with the Grizzlies in late February and is ready to make his debut with Memphis after getting his conditioning up over the past couple of weeks. The veteran big man will serve as a depth piece for the Grizzlies behind Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Taylor Hendricks.

Grizzlies' DeJon Jarreau: Receives 10-day deal
Rotowire
Jarreau agreed to a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
With Scotty Pippen (toe) set to undergo season-ending surgery, an already depleted Memphis backcourt was in need of further reinforcement, so the Grizzlies opted to bring Jarreau aboard. A fifth-year guard out of Houston, Jarreau has been a key player in the G League for the Memphis Hustle this season, starting in 11 of his 31 appearances while averaging 14.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.7 three-pointers and 0.7 blocks in 23.3 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Shooting struggles in narrow defeat
Rotowire
Prosper closed with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to Dallas.
Prosper's efficiency took a major hit, as he struggled to find his mark from both the perimeter and the free-throw line. Despite the cold shooting, the third-year pro remained productive in other areas, nearly reaching a double-double with eight boards and adding three steals. Since signing a standard two-year contract in early March, Prosper has been a consistent fixture in the Grizzlies' injury-depleted frontcourt. Over his last 11 games as a starter, he is averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25.0 minutes per night.

Grizzlies' Taj Gibson: May debut Friday
Rotowire
Gibson (reconditioning) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Gibson could make his Grizzlies and season debut Friday, but even if he gets the green light to suit up, it's unclear how involved he'll be. However, Memphis doesn't have a true center healthy at the moment, running with Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Taylor Hendricks and Rayan Rupert as small-ball fives in recent games, so Gibson's size could be prioritized.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Dealing with foot soreness
Rotowire
Jackson (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
After posting 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to Dallas, Jackson is in danger of missing the second half of Memphis' back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Taylor Hendricks would likely be the primary beneficiary.

Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Wells is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons with a right shoulder contusion.
Friday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so there's a good chance Wells receives a maintenance day. He looked sharp in Thursday's loss to Dallas with 23 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes.

Grizzlies' Walter Clayton: Unlikely to play Friday
Rotowire
Clayton (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Clayton is expected to miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. In Clayton's presumed absence, Cam Spencer and Javon Small should see solid minutes off the bench behind Ty Jerome and Cedric Coward on Friday.

Grizzlies' Cedric Coward: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Coward (knee) is available for Friday's game against Detroit.
Coward is no longer on the injury report after missing the front end of this back-to-back set. Look for the rookie to play a modest workload as the Grizzlies continue to evaluate several fringe rotation players.

Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Cleared to play Friday
Rotowire
Jerome (calf) isn't listed on Memphis' injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons.
As expected, Jerome will return to action after missing the first half of this back-to-back set. While he continues to sit out games, Jerome has been stellar when available, averaging 20.0 points, 5.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 21.7 minutes per game.
