Fantasy Impact:
Acquired by Memphis back in early February in a deal with the Miami Heat, Winslow has only appeared in 11 games this season, none of which were for the Grizzlies. Winslow has been dealing with a severe back strain since mid-December but it appears he's finally turned the corner in his rehab where he is ready to return to play. Winslow was previously critical of the NBA's decision to restart the season but he has yet to opt-out at this time. Coach Taylor is optimistic that Winslow will be able to return to the rotation but admitted that he'll still need to assess the team's conditioning and ability to practice in a 5-on-5 setting. Those playing DFS should temper expectations for Winslow out of the gates since he will likely come off the bench and need time to assimilate into the rotation. On the year, Winslow is averaging 11.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 32 minutes per game.
