Andrew Harrison Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Harrison is dealing with an injured right wrist and left shoulder and won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers, which will enable Mario Chalmers to enter the starting lineup at point guard and immediately vault him into consideration for daily fantasy formats at his price tag if he's able to see anywhere close to starters' minutes this evening. Harrison had started the previous two games and averaged just under 35 minutes over that span, though he was wildly inconsistent from a daily fantasy perspective. The Grizzlies are also without Tyreke Evans one again, so Marc Gasol, Wayne Selden, and Dillon Brooks have the potential to benefit the most from his and Harrison's absences, as each own at least a +2.2% with them off the court this season. Gasol also leads the team with a 31.1% usage rate overall and is averaging 1.21 fantasy points per minute on DraftKings and 1.20 on FanDuel in this scenario.

Tyreke Evans returned to the Memphis Grizzlies starting lineup for Thursday's humiliating loss, but he'll miss his third game in the last four contests due to personal reasons. Andrew Harrison has been cleared to play and will more than likely draw the start at point guard after logging 30 minutes in a spot start earlier in the week. Marc Gasol is set to return to the starting lineup following a one-game hiatus due to rest purposes, and he and Evans haven't been available for the same game since last Saturday with the Grizzlies in full tank mode. His presence will send Deyonta Davis back to the bench to serve as the primary backup center since Ivan Rabb has already been deemed unable to play this evening. As for Harrison, he has the potential for a noteworthy increase in fantasy value, as he owns a +4.2% usage rate differential with Evans and Chandler Parsons off the court this season and is averaging 0.90 fantasy points per minute on DraftKings and 0.86 on FanDuel in this scenario as well.

Harrison has officially been ruled out and won't play in Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets after previously being listed as questionable on the Memphis Grizzlies' injury report with a right wrist injury. Meanwhile, Ivan Rabb will make his return from a one-game absence following his original questionable designation on the injury report due to a right heel issue. The Grizzlies will also be without Marc Gasol and Chandler Parsons, both of whom are sitting for rest purposes on the second leg of a back-to-back set. However, Tyreke Evans will make his return to the starting lineup after being inactive for two consecutive games, and he'll replace Harrison at the point guard position. Deyonta Davis should draw the start at center in place of Gasol, but in the last game he missed, Davis logged just 21 minutes equal to Rabb's 21 minutes off the bench in that contest. That said, the main beneficiaries appear to be Evans and JaMychal Green, as both own at least a +4.4% usage rate differential with Gasol and Parsons off the court this season, while Evans leads the way with rates of 1.35 fantasy points per minute on DraftKings and 1.34 on FanDuel in this scenario.

Harrison has officially been cleared to play and will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers after previously being listed as probable on the Memphis Grizzlies injury report with a right wrist injury. Meanwhile, Ivan Rabb will join Tyreke Evans on the inactive list following his original questionable designation on the injury report due to a right heel issue. Marc Gasol will also start following a one-game absence due to an illness. Additionally, this will be the second consecutive game that Tyreke Evans has missed after being inactive for Monday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, as the Grizzlies are now fully re-engaged in their tanking efforts. This means that Harrison will draw the start at point guard for the second time in as many games after easily exceeding salary-based expectations in 30 minutes of action his first game back while Briante Weber logged 34 minutes off the bench. On top of that, Harrison owns a +4.3% usage rate differential with Evans off the court this season and is averaging 0.97 fantasy points per minute on DraftKings and 0.94 on FanDuel in this scenario as well.

Evans is a late scratch and has been listed as inactive for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an unspecified reason. Evans was never listed on any of the updated versions of the Memphis Grizzlies' injury reports throughout the day, so the news of his unavailability comes as a total surprise. Meanwhile, Andrew Harrison has been cleared to play and will start following his earlier questionable designation on the injury report due to a right wrist injury that had forced him to miss eight consecutive games. With Marc Gasol already ruled out because of an illness, Deyonta Davis will start at center but has been extremely volatile for daily fantasy formats when given the opportunity to start in the past. Among players that aren't subject to a minute restriction, Harrison and Dillon Brooks have been the main beneficiaries with Evans and Gasol off the court this season, as each own at least a +5.3% usage rate differential, while Harrison also sees his production skyrocket to 1.13 on DraftKings and 1.12 on FanDuel in this scenario.

Gasol has officially been ruled out and won't play in Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets after previously being listed as questionable on the Memphis Grizzlies' injury report with an illness that had forced him to miss shootaround this morning. Meanwhile, Andrew Harrison will be available to play following his earlier questionable designation on the injury report due to a right wrist injury that had forced him to miss eight consecutive games. Tyreke Evans returned to the starting lineup last Thursday and has exceeded salary-based expectations in both games since while averaging 35 minutes per contest, which has led to former fill-in starting point guard Kobi Simmons being demoted to the bench and picking up a DNP-CD in Saturday's win. This should be the norm moving forward, especially as Mario Chalmers gets back up to game speed following his extended injury absence. With Gasol unavailable, Evans becomes an intriguing tournament target once again, as he owns a +4.0% usage rate differential with Gasol off the court this season, while also averaging 1.32 fantasy points per minute on DraftKings and 1.27 on FanDuel in this scenario.

Chalmers has officially been cleared to play and will suit up for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets after previously being listed as questionable on the Memphis Grizzlies' injury report with a right hamstring injury that had forced him to miss six consecutive games. Meanwhile, Andrew Harrison will remain out with a right wrist injury that has kept him sidelined for nearly three weeks. Tyreke Evans returned to the starting lineup on Thursday and easily exceeded salary-based expectations in 32 minutes of action, while former fill-in starting point guard Kobi Simmons was demoted to the bench and logged only seven minutes compared to the 20 minutes allocated to Briante Weber, who was recently signed to a 10-day contract. However, with Chalmers back in the fold, Weber should see his role drastically reduced and Simmons will likely find himself out of the rotation altogether.

Harrison, Evans, and Davis have all been added to the Memphis Grizzlies' injury and won't play in Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic due to their respective ailments, though Davis was the only one to suit up for the first game of the back-to-back set on Friday evening. Meanwhile, JaMychal Green and Wayne Selden are listed as questionable, and Chandler Parsons is still dealing with an illness but has been upgraded to probable on the injury report. Unfortunately, the optimal way to attack this injury situation in daily fantasy formats is still up in the air, as it largely depends on the status of Green and Selden, but either way, Jarell Martin should be locked into a significant playing time as a starter and has logged less than 32 minutes just once in the last four games. Selden was limited to just 10 minutes in his return from an extended injury absence on Friday, and his restriction allowed Mario Chalmers, Ben McLemore, and Myke Henry all to step into more extensive roles in the backcourt and wing rotations.

Green was absent from shootaround Friday morning and has officially been ruled out tonight's game against the Denver Nuggets due to an illness, while Andrew Harrison will also be unavailable due to a right wrist injury following his original questionable designation on the injury report. However, as expected, Wayne Selden has been cleared to play after missing six consecutive games with a sore right knee but will only play limited minutes in his return. The Grizzlies are already without Tyreke Evans, Deyonta Davis, and Chandler Parsons due to their respective ailments, so they'll be relatively shorthanded across the board from a positional depth perspective. Despite being replaced by Ben McLemore in the starting lineup last time out, Jarell Martin logged a whopping 36 minutes off the bench compared to just nine for McLemore, and he'll be locked into a starting role no matter who starts for Harrison and Evans this evening. That said, the likeliest candidates appear to be Mario Chalmers and Ben McLemore, the latter's playing time depending largely on how many minutes Selden is able to handle in his first game back.
