MEM starts Jerome, Wells, Jackson, Boozer, Edey

Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

Player Stats

Ty Jerome, Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson, Cameron Boozer and Zach Edey will start Friday’s game against the Warriors.

The Grizzlies are without Cedric Coward, who suffered a sprained left wrist during Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. Jackson moves into the starting lineup, making him a worthwhile streamer in deep leagues. The other four starters are unchanged.

Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cedric Coward (wrist) tallied 15 points (6-of-11 FGs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Kings.

Coward returned to the Grizzlies’ starting lineup after missing Friday’s win over the Warriors, leading to GG Jackson heading to the bench and playing just 10 minutes. Coward recorded a double-double and played 32 minutes. As long as his wrist doesn’t give him trouble, Coward should provide reliable fantasy value, especially in category leagues.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward (wrist) is available for Sunday’s game against the Kings.

Coward is back after sitting out Friday’s win over the Warriors. With his return, GG Jackson will head to the bench after making a spot start the last time out.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward (wrist) is questionable to play against the Kings on Sunday.

Coward missed Friday’s game against Golden State, which allowed GG Jackson to start in his place. Coward should start if he’s back, but if not, Jackson may start again, though he only played 15 minutes on Friday, while Jerami Grant played 26 minutes.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson finished Friday’s win over the Warriors with two points (1-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and one assist.

With Cedric Coward (wrist) unavailable, Jackson moved into the starting lineup on Friday. Unfortunately for those who streamed him, GG offered little value as a spot starter. He picked up four fouls in 10 first-half minutes, and Kris Murray (three rebounds, one assist, and one block) would start the third quarter. Whether or not Jackson gets another opportunity on Sunday against the Kings depends on Coward’s health, but he may not be worth the streaming risk in most leagues.
Cedric Coward

MEM Guard #23

Cedric Coward (wrist) is out for Friday’s game against the Warriors.

Initially doubtful with a sprained left wrist, Coward is officially out for Friday’s game. GG Jackson replaces him in the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep leagues.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson dropped 14 points (5-of-7 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes in Monday’s preseason win over the Hawks.

Jackson erupted for a team-high 12 first-half points off the bench in the opening half and delivered an extremely efficient shooting performance in his preseason debut. He’s unlikely to be a focal point for the Grizzlies as they build around a Cedric Coward and Ty Jerome backcourt, but he makes sense as an offensive igniter off the bench capable of scoring in bunches and leading the second unit.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

NBA insider Jake Fischer reports that the Grizzlies have exercised GG Jackson’s contract option.

Jackson appeared in 55 games last season, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 21.4 minutes. While he has provided decent value in the past, the Grizzlies’ selection of Cameron Boozer and Karim Lopez in the draft, along with the acquisition of Isaiah Stewart, means there will be more players competing with Jackson for rotation minutes. The Grizzlies also exercised Olivier-Maxence Prosper’s option for the 2026-27 season.
Taylor Hendricks

MEM Forward #22

Taylor Hendricks (thumb) and GG Jackson (knee) are out for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

While Hendricks scored 16 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, Jackson was not available. With both out and Olivier-Maxence Prosper listed as doubtful for Friday’s game, Toby Okani is likely to play heavy minutes out of necessity.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Jackson is out after playing 18 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers. With Taylor Hendricks available after not playing on Monday, he’ll fill the void left by Jackson in the starting five.
Taylor Hendricks

MEM Forward #22

Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Hendricks started Sunday’s loss to the Bucks but played just 12 minutes. GG Jackson is off the injury report after not playing on Sunday, and he should step in for Hendricks.
