G/SF ATL
Kennard logged 25 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 106-102 victory over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard moved to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in Memphis' previous game, and he made his presence felt by delivering his best output of the campaign in a tight win for the Grizzlies. Even though Kennard doesn't qualify for the league's lead in three-point shooting, his contributions from beyond the arc have been massive in what has been a career-best season for him. He's making 45.9 percent of his three-pointers, and perhaps even more impressive, this is the fourth straight season he's hitting at least 44.5 percent of his shots from downtown.

Kennard is starting Monday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard logged 28 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to Portland, and despite being held to five points, he'll get a shot with the starters Monday night. Jordan Goodwin, who had started three consecutive matchups for the Grizzlies entering the day, will serve in a bench role with Kennard being elevated to the first unit.

Kennard (illness) is available for Saturday's game versus Portland, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard missed the past three games for Memphis, but he's finally healthy again and will give the Grizzlies a big lift with his perimeter shooting. Given how many injuries the Grizzlies are dealing with, Kennard will likely have more touches and shots coming his way.

Kennard (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard is in danger of missing his third straight game due to an illness. He was originally deemed doubtful Friday before getting ruled out, so his questionable designation ahead of Memphis' matchup with Portland is a better sign. Still, final confirmation on his status is unlikely to come until closer to tipoff. Jordan Goodwin would again be a candidate to absorb some of Kennard's minutes if he ultimately gets ruled out.

Kennard (illness) will not play in Friday's tilt against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Kennard was originally deemed doubtful for the contest. In his absence, Jordan Goodwin is a candidate to absorb some of his minutes. Kennard's next opportunity to suit up will come Saturday in a rematch with the Trail Blazers.

Kennard is out for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard's absence will leave the Grizzlies very thin in the backcourt, likely forcing Derrick Rose and Jordan Goodwin to receive extended minutes. Kennard's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Portland.

Kennard will start Friday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard was able to get healthy over the All-Star break after he missed Memphis' previous game with a slight knee issue. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff. Kennard has been hot in February, averaging 11.8 points and 3.0 three-pointers on 48.9 percent shooting from the field, including 54.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Kennard (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Kennard missed the Grizzlies' final game heading into the break with a minor knee issue, but he'll be back in action Friday night, and he should get all the run he can handle. If you're looking for a low-end source of triples and dimes, Kennard could be your guy.

Kennard (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jonah Dylan of Memphis News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Derrick Rose (ankle) and Scotty Pippen (back) will join Kennard on the sidelines Thursday, so Memphis is going to be extremely thin at the guard spots tonight. If Jacob Gilyard isn't called up from the G League in time for Thursday's game, Jordan Goodwin might be getting all the run he can handle, and he's someone to consider as a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.
