Joel Embiid’s Week 1 Mystery: Will He Dominate or Disappear on the Fantasy Court?

The best-case scenario would be that Morant is cleared to play on Wednesday and Jerome’s calf does not keep him on the sideline. The worst-case scenario would be that Morant and Jerome cannot play against New Orleans, likely resulting in rookie Javon Small being tabbed to fill the void. Small, who’s rostered in less than one percent of Yahoo! leagues, did play well during the preseason. Depending on what the Grizzlies reveal on Monday and Tuesday regarding Morant and Jerome, there could be a mad dash to computers to add Small ahead of Wednesday’s opener. Also, Memphis’ three-game Week 1 includes a Friday/Saturday back-to-back; it isn’t difficult to envision an injury management day for Morant (if available) due to the time missed and his overall injury history.
