Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Absence streak to continue
Aldama (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Kings.
Monday will mark a sixth consecutive absence with a calf strain for Aldama, who carries no definitive timetable for a return ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Portland. With Aldama sidelined against Sacramento, Brandon Clarke and Lamar Stevens should get a rise in frontcourt minutes from the second unit.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Won't go Monday
Pippen (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.
Pippen will miss just his second outing of the season due to left wrist soreness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Portland. Luke Kennard will likely see an uptick in playing time due to Pippen being sidelined.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Assigned to G League
Memphis assigned Jackson to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Monday.
Jackson has seen his role decline with the Grizzlies, but it's unclear how long he'll be with the Hustle -- their next G League game is March 19 against the Valley Suns. In his last five games with the Grizzlies, Jackson has averaged 6.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 15.3 minutes.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Dealing with wrist injury
Pippen (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
Pippen is dealing with left wrist soreness, which may have developed during the Grizzlies' 125-91 win over the Heat on Saturday. With Ja Morant (hamstring) sidelined, Pippen would be slated to see a heavier workload off the bench with Luke Kennard starting. However, if Pippen cannot play, then Vince Williams could be in line to see more minutes off the bench instead.

Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Unlikely for Monday
Aldama (calf) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Kings.
Aldama is likely to miss a sixth straight game due to a right calf strain. GG Jackson and Vince Williams are likely to maintain sizable roles if Aldama is unable to suit up.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Off injury report
Williams (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Kings.
Williams missed Saturday's game against the Heat due to a sore right ankle, but all signs point to him returning to action Monday. In his last five games, Williams has averaged 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.6 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Not playing Monday
Morant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.
Morant didn't play in Saturday's win over the Heat due to right shoulder soreness. He appears to be past that particular issue, but he's now working through left hamstring soreness that is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Monday's contest. Luke Kennard got the start for Morant on Saturday and will likely remain in the Grizzlies' starting five for Monday's bout. Morant's next chance to see the floor is Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Efficient on offense Saturday
Jackson recorded 31 points (13-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 33 minutes during Saturday's 125-91 victory over the Heat.
Jackson had to deal with Bam Adebayo on both ends of the court, but he put together an impressive all-around night. This was his 12th performance with at least 30 points this season, and Jackson took advantage of the absence of Ja Morant (shoulder) to play a more prominent role on offense. Even if Morant returns against the Kings on Monday, Jackson will continue to operate as one of the top options offensively.

Grizzlies' Scotty Pippen: Double-doubles off bench
Pippen produced 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-91 win over the Heat.
Luke Kennard got the start at point guard due to the absence of Ja Morant (shoulder), but Pippen ended up delivering an excellent stat line. He was the primary playmaking option off the bench and orchestrated the offense beautifully when on the court, which led to him recording double-digit assists for the eighth time this season. As good as he was Saturday, however, Pippen's role remains inconsistent, and his minutes would shrink considerably if Morant is able to return Monday against the Kings.

Grizzlies' Desmond Bane: Comes close to triple-double
Bane accumulated 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-91 win over the Heat.
The Grizzlies were without Ja Morant (shoulder) in this game, but that didn't prevent them from securing a huge win, and Bane played a pivotal role in the victory. Luke Kennard started in place of Morant, meaning Bane operated as the primary playmaker and finished just two assists away from a triple-double. Bane has been playing at a high level of late and is averaging 21.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and a combined 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in eight outings this month.

Grizzlies' Luke Kennard: Starting Saturday
Kennard is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Heat on Saturday.
Kennard will make his ninth start of the season Saturday due to the absence of Ja Morant (shoulder). Kennard scored zero points in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, just two days after scoring a season-high 30 points against the Jazz.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Ruled out Saturday
Morant (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Heat, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Morant was expected to be a game-time call for Saturday's contest, and the star floor general will end up missing this second leg of this back-to-back set. This means Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen are likely to see an uptick in backcourt minutes, with one of those getting the start over Morant as well.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Not playing Saturday
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Williams will be held out of Saturday's game while managing a sore right ankle, and his next chance to see the floor is Monday against Sacramento. Luke Kennard is in line to see increased minutes due to Williams' absence.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Game-time call for Saturday
Morant (shoulder) will be a game-time call for Saturday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Morant is dealing with right shoulder soreness, and while no decision has been made on the status of the star floor general, it wouldn't be surprising if he sits out this contest. If Morant ends up being ruled out, then Luke Kennard and Scotty Pippen would be candidates to receive increased playing time in the backcourt.
