4 years agoMemphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Heat, marking his second absence in his last four games. Clarke has reclaimed a bench role as of late and has seen his scoring average dip by nearly four points per contest in that span. Xavier Tillman should slot into the role of being Memphis' top forward off of the bench, although that would give him only marginal DFS appeal. With Clarke's field-goal percentage having dipped to 52.4 percent in his second season (from the 61.8 percent that it sat at during his rookie year), his season-long intrigue has dipped into deeper formats. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday versus Atlanta.--Jesse Borek
