Memphis Grizzlies DFS Spin
Ja Morant (left ankle soreness) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans. Morant will be back on the court after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Wizards in Washington. His return moves Tyus Jones back to the bench, and Jones isn’t worth holding onto outside of deep fantasy leagues when used in a reserve role.
New Orleans Pelicans DFS Spin
Zion Williamson (right foot/ankle sprain) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Grizzlies. Williamson played 36 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Rockets, and unfortunately, he’s come out of that game with an injury concern. If he has to sit out Tuesday’s game, Trey Murphy III and Larry Nance are the players who stand to see the largest minutes increase. Both are already worth rostering in deeper leagues, so it may be difficult to find Murphy or Nance on the waiver wire if Zion sits.
