Steven Adams (knee) sidelined for Grizzlies 3-5 weeks
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams has been diagnosed with a PCL sprain in his right knee and is expected to miss 3-5 weeks.
What It Means:
The Grizzlies announced that Adams sustained the injury on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Xavier Tillman started in place of Adams on Monday and produced 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block over 30 minutes. He figures to be the primary beneficiary from Adams' absence, but Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama will also have more minutes available in the Grizzlies' frontcourt.
Tillman is currently numberFire's third-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's 10-game slate. He has a $4,600 salary and our models project him for 25.4 FanDuel points over 26.4 minutes.
