Kennard (back) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard is trending toward missing Sunday's game in New Orleans with a back issue. The veteran guard's potential absence could lead to the Grizzlies leaning on Scotty Pippen and Vince Williams to shoulder the load off the bench in the backcourt.

Kennard provided 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 132-130 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
With Ja Morant (shoulder) unavailable, Kennard got the start in the Grizzlies' backcourt and played a season high in minutes. The 28-year-old doesn't typically see high volume even when starting -- he hadn't attempted more than 10 FGs in a game since Jan. 30 -- but Kennard has nabbed multiple steals in three of the last eight games, averaging 10.6 points, 3.9 assists, 2.5 boards, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 25.1 minutes a contest during that span.
