Aldama is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Since scoring a career-high 37 points in a December 23 win over the Jazz, Aldama had not recorded more than 15 points in any game. That changed on Thursday in Berlin, as the Grizzlies forward/center hit all four of his three-point attempts. Zach Edey's (ankle) absence has opened up additional opportunities for Aldama. Still, the impact has been muted since Jock Landale (6/5/1/1/1 with one three-pointer) has been the replacement in the starting lineup.

Aldama will be good to go after initially being listed as questionable. He'll continue to play a significant reserve role for Memphis after playing 24 minutes on the first night of this back-to-back.

Initially probable for Memphis' second game in as many nights, Jackson has been downgraded to questionable. With Santi Aldama also questionable because of a sore right ankle, the Grizzlies could be down two rotation frontcourt players. In that case, they would have to rely even more on Jock Landale and Christian Koloko, with the former being the safer streaming option.
