Fantasy Impact
Clarke suffered the injury to his quad in the first quarter of Monday night’s game vs. the Clippers. The injury is unfortunate for both the Grizzlies and for Clarke owners. The Grizz are now down their best two Power Forwards in Jaren Jackson Jr. and now Clarke. Being as the opponent on Wednesday night is the small-ball Houston Rockets, Josh Jackson might be the best candidate to replace Clarke in the starting lineup. Given how thin the Memphis front court now is with the injuries to JJJ and Clarke, both Jackson and Gorgui Dieng are worth pickups in 12-team leagues
