Hendricks

Top-10 picks don’t typically play summer league games ahead of their fourth season, but Hendricks hasn’t panned out the way the Jazz hoped he would. Now with Memphis, the extra reps certainly don’t hurt, but with how well he played in this game, it wouldn’t be shocking if he was shut down early. Hendricks only played 12 minutes in this game and should be an important rotation piece for Memphis this season.

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.

Hendricks was productive despite playing only 22 minutes on Wednesday. He shot the ball well overall and capitalized on his few three-point attempts, allowing him to score in double figures for a second consecutive game. The fourth-year forward also contributed on the glass and finished as the only Grizzlies player to record at least one block and steal apiece. Hendricks has been a more productive player during his brief time in Memphis than he was previously in Utah. He’ll have an opportunity to finish the regular season strong.

Hendricks, who did not play in Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers, is available and will replace Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the starting lineup. The other changes to the lineup are Mashack and Okani, who step in for Cam Spencer and Lucas Williamson. Spencer is not available, but Williamson should play significant minutes off the bench.

Initially doubtful, Prosper is out for Wednesday’s game. Taylor Hendricks and Toby Okani are likely to play heavy minutes, as the Grizzlies are light on options in the frontcourt.

Hendricks is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Cavaliers. With Olivier-Maxence Prosper listed as doubtful and GG Jackson out, Hendricks is going to play heavy minutes on Wednesday.

Hendricks’ absence on Monday comes on the heels of a 12-minute, 11-point outing against the Bucks on Sunday. While sidelined, GG Jackson figures to remain in a big role for Memphis as the regular season nears its end.

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.

Prosper is available after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Raptors. Taylor Hendricks filled the result void in the starting lineup and should remain there since the Grizzlies are unlikely to have GG Jackson (knee).

The Grizzlies have two new starters for Friday’s game, as Cam Spencer and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are out. They’ve been replaced in the lineup by Rupert and Hendricks, with the latter offering a higher upside for fantasy managers.
