Mon Jan 2 202307:11Ja Morant Stands Out Against Sacramento
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant took full advantage of a favorable matchup and poured in 35 points in a 118-108 victory over the Kings Sunday. Sacramento gives up the eighth-most points in the league to opposing points guards, and Morant was able to get his with 13-for-23 shooting. He struggled from deep with a 1-for-5 effort, but it was still an efficient scoring performance. The Grizzlies star didn't settle for just scoring either, adding eight rebounds and five assists to his tally with one steal and one block. Morant has now gone for 30-plus points in four of his past five appearances, and even in the game he failed to hit the mark, Morant made fantasy managers grin by dishing out a career-high 17 assists. He's hit great form and there should be more to come from him on Wednesday against the Hornets, who also struggle to contain point guards.

Mon Dec 26 202207:41Ja Morant Goes For 36 Points In Christmas Matchup
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant enjoyed his Christmas with a 36-point performance against the Warriors, but he couldn't save his team from a big 123-109 loss. He shot decent 15-for-29 from the field but could get very little going from downtown, finishing with 2-for-10 shooting from deep. His night also included seven rebounds and eight assists with one steal and six turnovers. Morant's scoring numbers have dropped with each month so far, although he has been showing signs of picking up pace again with two 30-point efforts in three games. With him averaging a 27-6-8 line, it's been a good season for Morant, but he's very well capable of doing even better.

Memphis' young star has averaged 27.7 points with 6.6 rebounds and 7.8 assists this season, and he will be looking to post a fourth consecutive double-double Thursday. Tyus Jones had another outstanding performance in a sport start Monday, but he will head back to the bench for Thursday's matchup. The 26-year-old remains a great streaming option in situations where Morant isn't able to play, but Jones' fantasy value is very limited with him in the lineup.

Mon Dec 12 202217:22Ja Morant Picks Up Questionable Tag For Monday’s Game
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (thigh) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Monday's contest vs. Atlanta due to a sore right thigh. Morant is coming off a rough shooting performance Friday, when he went 6-for-20 overall and scored just 15 points, his second-lowest total of the season. An absence from Morant would vault Tyus Jones into the starting five and likely most DFS lineups, as Jones has averaged 20.3 points and 7.8 assists in his four games as a starter in 2022-23. Morant's combination of his ailment and the Hawks yielding the third-fewest DFS points per game to opposing point guards may keep him off many DFS radars, even if he is ultimately cleared to suit up.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) is considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The 23-year-old was fantastic on Sunday, but apparently suffered a left ankle injury along the way. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Grizzlies take the cautious approach and rest Morant on Monday. That being said, Tyus Jones would move into the starting five and be a popular streaming option for Monday's slate. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Jones is available.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant posted another MVP-like performance as they beat the Detroit Pistons 122-112 on Sunday. The 23-year-old finished the game with 33 points while shooting 52.2% overall and 42.9% from beyond the arc. He also added five rebounds, 10 assists, and one steal. His +21 was the highest plus/minus in the game and he only turned the ball over four times despite playing the most minutes on the team. His turnovers have been a bit of an issue this season, but he's still an elite fantasy option with his contributions across the offensive categories.

Wed Nov 23 202210:49Ja Morant Posts Big Outing In Loss To Kings
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was previously doubtful for the game on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings.

The up-and-coming star posted 34 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, and five turnovers on 12-for-21 shooting from the floor and 9-for-15 from the charity stripe. The higher turnover game is par for the course but his poor free-throw shooting was surprising. Either way, he should be on rosters in every fantasy league and will continue to be as long as he's healthy.

Tue Nov 22 202215:20Ja Morant Upgraded To Questionable On Tuesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (ankle) was listed as doubtful earlier on Tuesday but has received an upgrade to questionable just a few hours away from tipoff. That's promising news even if he doesn't suit up for this game. It seems like he should be back either for Tuesday's game or their next one. If he remains sidelined, Tyus Jones should serve as a great streaming option while Dillon Brooks will continue to see more usage than normal.
