Ja Morant (calf) "participated in parts of Thursday's practice" and is now considered day-to-day.Morant has been out for two weeks since suffering his calf strain, but appears to be inching closer to returning. There's a chance that he could return to play against the Clippers on Friday or the Blazers on Sunday. His return would push Vince Williams Jr. back to the bench and could impact some of Zach Edey's recent uptick in usage.

Zach Edey recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 19 points (8-of-12 FGs), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block against the Spurs.Edey has been on quite the tear in recent weeks. Over the last five games that Edey has completed, he is averaging 17.8 points, 16.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game. It took Edey a few games to get adjusted after missing the start of the year, but he's been one of the most dominant players in fantasy basketball recently. Some of the matchups have been more favorable, but he has been able to take advantage. At this point, he's looking like one of the steals of the year.

Jock Landale (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.Landale is good to go after initially being questionable with a sore left ankle. He will occupy his usual role as Zach Edey's backup, which is not a good spot to derive fantasy value from.
