Grizzlies' Santi Aldama likely starting Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies power forward Santi Aldama is expected to start versus the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, per head coach Taylor Jenkins.

What It Means:

Aldama is the likely starter in place of Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh, doubtful). He is averaging 10.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.3 3-pointers in 27.7 minutes per game as a starter this season. Brandon Clarke will remain in a role off the bench.

Aldama is now numberFire's top point-per-dollar value on Thursday's seven-game slate. He has a $3,900 salary and our models project him for 23.9 FanDuel points over 27.6 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Grizzlies’ implied total (108.5) is second-lowest out of 14 active teams today.
