Grizzlies' Javon Small: Won't play vs. Hawks

Small was added to the injury report earlier Monday due to lower-back soreness, and the team has determined that he won't be able to suit up.

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Small is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks with lower back soreness.
Small was a very late addition to the injury report. He's been averaging 15.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists over his last seven games, so his potential absence would open up a lot of minutes in the backcourt.

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Scores 13 points in loss
Rotowire
Small posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to Boston.
The rookie second-rounder started Friday due to the absence of Cedric Coward (personal) and certainly took advantage of his playing time to deliver another productive showing. Regardless of whether he's starting or coming off the bench, it's worth noting that Small has scored in double digits in five of his last six games -- as well as in six of nine since the beginning of March. Throughout the current month, the rookie out of WVU is averaging 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists while averaging 24.7 minutes per game in nine appearances (four starts).

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Inactive Monday
Rotowire
Small (two-way) is inactive for Monday's game against the Bulls.
Small has appeared in six straight games and scored in double figures in four of his past five appearances, averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.4 steals during that span. However, as a two-way player, Small is eligible to suit up for 50 games for the entire season, and since he's already used 35 of those games, the Grizzlies will hold him out Monday to manage his availability. Fortunately for Small's fantasy managers, the Grizzlies will have 15 games remaining after Monday, so the rookie second-round pick can play in all of those contests.
Small posted 23 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons.
Small continues to deliver, despite shifting between the bench and the starting unit. With Memphis openly resting players, Small's playing time has been tough to project. However, he has scored in double figures in four of the past five games, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.0 three-pointers during that span, which is good enough for top-60 value. While there is certainly an element of risk, Small is someone to consider adding across most formats.

Small started Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Mavericks and finished with 19 points, nine assists, two rebounds, one block and three three-pointers over 28 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role for Friday's contest due to the return of Ty Jerome (calf).

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Nearly double-doubles
Rotowire
Small racked up 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Mavericks.
Small continues to bounce in and out of the starting lineup while the Grizzlies deal with numerous injuries. Scotty Pippen (toe) has been ruled out for the season, while Ty Jerome continues to miss at least one half of back-to-back sets, and it's unclear when or if Ja Morant (elbow) will suit up again this season. Not to mention, Walter Clayton (ankle), Cam Spencer (back) and Cedric Coward (knee) have also been regulars on the injury report the past few weeks. The nine dimes Thursday tied Small's season high, and as a starter this season (five games), he's averaged 14.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.4 minutes.

Grizzlies' Javon Small: Pops for 19 points
Rotowire
Small finished Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
Small overcame a slow start to the game, ending with 19 points in 32 minutes. Memphis continues to rest players on a regular basis, allowing Small to play a sizeable role. In 11 appearances over the past month, he has managed to put up top-50 value in nine-category leagues, averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.8 three-pointers. Assuming the inconsistent playing time is tolerable, Small makes for a viable addition to most rosters.

Rotowire
Small is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nets.
With Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe) and Cedric Coward (knee) all inactive, Small will enter the starting lineup for the fourth time this season. In his first three starts, the West Virginia product averaged 12.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.0 minutes per contest. Small figures to see a heavy dose of minutes Monday for a banged-up Grizzlies squad.

Rotowire
Small won't start against the Clippers on Saturday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Over his last four outings off the bench, the two-way player has averaged 13.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest. However, he'll likely see a dip in minutes with several key contributors back in action.
