Tillman recorded six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 18 minutes during Sunday's 122-112 victory over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman appeared in just his second game since Nov. 7, but he shot well in limited chances and also contributed across the board. He recorded his first block since the first matchup of the season and turned in his best rebounding performance since Oct. 31. Tillman typically doesn't play much of a role within his Memphis rotation, but he received a chance Sunday with Steven Adams (hip) sidelined.

Tillman (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman isn't a regular part of the rotation and shouldn't play a regular role here, as he's failed to take the court in seven of the team's last eight games.

Tillman (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman isn't a regular part of the rotation. His potential absence won't affect fantasy.

Tillman (illness) won't play Friday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman joins fellow big Santi Aldama (illness) as out for the Grizzlies, leaving the frontcourt minutes to Steven Adams (illness), Jaren Jackson and Brandon Clarke Friday. His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Knicks.

Tillman is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman has split time between the NBA and the G League this season, and with Jaren Jackson back, Tillman doesn't seem to hold a steady role with the Grizzlies. However, considering Steven Adams (illness) and Santi Aldama (illness) may not play Friday, Tillman could be thrust into the rotation if he were to suit up. If not, look toward Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke to receive more run.

Tillman was assigned to the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman will join the Hustle for their home game Monday, then will head right back up to the Grizzlies roster for their game Tuesday against Sacramento. Tillman has appeared in just nine games thus far, averaging 3.3 points and 2.6 rebounds across 10.4 minutes per game. With Jaren Jackson back from injury, Tillman's opportunities to see meaningful minutes will likely be few and far between.

The Grizzlies recalled Tillman from the Memphis Hustle on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman will be available for Friday's game against the Thunder. The third-year big man has appeared in eight games this season for the Grizzlies but is only averaging 11.4 minutes in those appearances.

The Grizzlies assigned Tillman to the Memphis Hustle of the G League on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman joins Kennedy Chandler on the Hustle for Thursday's game at Rio Grande Valley. However, both will be recalled to the Grizzlies for Friday's game versus the Thunder. Tillman is averaging 3.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 11.4 minutes across eight games this season.

Tillman racked up seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Saturday's 137-96 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman, along with a host of other fringe players, saw additional run Saturday as the Grizzlies were soundly beaten by the Mavericks. Even with Jaren Jackson on the shelf due to a knee injury, Tillman has been unable to carve out a consistent role. Outside of injuries to other players, he can be safely left on waivers.
