Santi Aldama

Jackson has missed Memphis' last two games with a sprained right ankle, with Santi Aldama replacing him in the lineup. If JJJ remains out, Aldama will get another start, and he's worth rostering in 12-team formats while that is the case.

After a quiet first half in which he scored six points, Aldama stepped up after halftime. He scored 14 second-half points, combining with guard Cam Spencer to push the Grizzlies over the finish line. In two starts for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr., Aldama has scored 49 points on 20-of-35 shooting from the field, recording complete stat lines in both outings. With the Grizzlies playing four games in Week 6, starting with the Nuggets on Monday, it would be a good idea to add Aldama, given the injuries Jackson and Jock Landale (neck) are dealing with.

Landale played five minutes in the first half before being shut down due to neck soreness. Shooting 3-of-6 from the field, he finished with seven points, one rebound, one assist and one three-pointer. Landale's exit won't affect the starting lineup, but it will further deplete the Grizzlies' frontcourt depth. Memphis may have to stagger Zach Edey and Santi Aldama's minutes, with Olivier-Maxence Prosper picking up additional minutes off the bench.

Initially doubtful for Saturday's game, Jackson has officially been ruled out. That means Santi Aldama will get another start, and he should be streamed until the Grizzlies get their starting power forward back.

Jackson did not play in Thursday's win over the Kings, which resulted in Santi Aldama moving into the starting lineup. Aldama went off for 29 points and should be rostered in 12-team leagues whenever Jackson is unavailable. With JJJ considered doubtful, Saturday could be another big day for Aldama.
