Ja Morant Doubtful For Saturday Night Against AtlantaDecember 20, 2024 | 05:32 PM

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Morant injured his back in the third quarter of the Grizzlies' 144-93 obliteration of the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. The 25-year-old had previously been listed on the injury report with back soreness but was able to play three games in a row. He exited early in the third quarter on Thursday after falling hard on a contested layup. Fantasy managers should expect Scottie Pippen Jr. to slide into the starting lineup. Pippen will make an intriguing fantasy and DFS option as a starter as he's averaged 14.3 PPG and 5.9 APG when he's in the starting lineup.
