DeJon

Jarreau

Jarreau had 13 points in 27 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Celtics. The 28-year-old guard finds himself on the injury report for Saturday as questionable with right ankle soreness. Jarreau could see a similar workload with Jahmai Mashack (ankle) out again, if he’s available.

Mashack will miss a second straight game, which will open up a few extra minutes for DeJon Jarreau and Tyler Burton. However, the Grizzlies’ rotation has been too inconsistent as of late for either player to be worth streaming.

Mashack’s ankle injury will keep him out of Wednesday’s contest, which frees up additional minutes for DeJon Jarreau and Tyler Burton. Neither player is worth the streaming risk in fantasy leagues.

Mashack has bene playing a large reserve role recently, and if he isn’t able to play, DeJon Jarreau and Tyler Burton will take on extra minutes off the bench, though neither will be worth streaming.

LaRavia wasn’t on the initial injury report, but there is now a chance that he sits out Friday’s game. If that happens, GG Jackson and Santi Aldama should see a few extra minutes at the forward spots, with DeJon Jarreau and Maozinha Periera also seeing minutes off the bench. Only Jackson and Aldama will be worth a look in any format.

Aldama has been available for Memphis’ last two games, logging heavy minutes as a starter despite the elbow injury. Should he not play, DeJon Jarreau would have more minutes available, but GG Jackson and Jake LaRavia are the players fantasy managers should target.

Luke Kennard and GG Jackson are available, so both should see big backcourt minutes. Fantasy legend DeJon Jarreau could also be in line for an expanded role given how depleted Memphis’ lineup is.

Jarreau, who went undrafted after a standout collegiate career at Houston, has been playing for the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate this season. Over his past 10 games with the Memphis Hustle, Jarreau has averaged 21.6 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists. His addition is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball, but there should be opportunities for him to play, given how shorthanded the Grizzlies have been.

Jarreau, a former college standout at the University of Houston, never had the opportunity to make his Rockets debut due to health and safety protocols. His 10-day hardship contract has expired, and the team is not offering him a second deal.

Having recently agreed to a 10-day contract with the Rockets, Jarreau is now on the league’s health and safety protocols list. This will not have an impact on Houston’s rotation.
