Dillon Brooks (thigh) inactive for Grizzlies' Saturday game against Suns
Memphis Grizzlies guard / forward Dillon Brooks (thigh) is ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Brooks will miss his second straight game with right thigh soreness. With such a short-handed roster, Tyus Jones should see more minutes in a challenging opportunity against a Phoenix squad ranked eighth in defensive efficiency.
According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 51.9 minutes with Memphis' current injuries, Jones is averaging 1.35 FanDuel points per minute and a 22.8% usage rate.
