DeJon

Jarreau

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.

He’s played a single minute in the NBA so far and will likely move to the G-League. New two-way signing Terry Taylor will take his spot.

Jarreau was impressive during Summer League for the Heat, averaging 11.6 points, 6.6 boards, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals. He’ll be eligible to spend 45 days with the Pacers on his two-way deal, though it remains to be seen if he’ll earn any playing time for coach Rick Carlisle.
