ANALYSIS: The Memphis Grizzlies are a mess right now in terms of how badly injuries have ravaged their team. The silver lining is that it's giving some other players opportunities to achieve fantasy relevance. JaMychal Green has been asked to play major minutes the last two games, and has played exceedingly well. Against the Celtics on Wednesday, Green scored 17 points with 13 rebounds, two blocks, and two assists. It was his second consecutive double-double, as well as his second game playing exactly 37 minutes.

Green will lose minutes when Zach Randolph and Chris Andersen are ready to play, but he should still see 20+ minutes off the bench. As long as he's getting that amount of minutes, he needs to be owned. Green gives you double-double potential every night, with efficient scoring and even sprinkling in some assists, steals, or blocks. Scoop him up quickly. Hopefully he avoids the injury plague.
