Ja Morant Injury Update: 3/29/25 vs. the Lakers

Ja Morant ($9,300) has missed the last six games due to a hamstring injury. He could make his return on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers, as the Grizzlies upgraded him to questionable.

This will be the first game of the post-Taylor Jenkins era after the Grizzlies parted ways with the head coach on Friday. With that in mind, there is some uncertainty as to rotations and minutes allocations. Morant could be limited or play over 30 minutes. We just don’t know, but the probability is elevated that the Grizzlies manage the minutes for Morant in the short term.

Scotty Pippen Jr. ($6,200) has put up over 30 FPTS in each of the last five games, with three over 40 FPTS. He would return to a reserve role if Morant is back.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
