Tillman isn't starting Monday's Game 4 against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman has started the last six contests for the Grizzlies, but Memphis will switch up the starting five with Ja Morant (knee) ruled out for this one. The Michigan State product should still see a sizeable workload Monday evening.

Tillman provided 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 124-96 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman recorded his second-highest scoring output of the season. The second-year center has seen a huge uptick in minutes since the end of March and he's been making the most of them. Look for him to stay productive in Game 3.

Tillman closed with five points (2-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 139-110 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
With Steven Adams (ankle) out and Brandon Clarke (thigh) only available in an emergency, Tillman drew his second start of the season. The second-year big man struggled from the field but made the most of his increased opportunity by registering multiple steals. Tillman made 53 appearances during the regular season and averaged 4.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13.2 minutes across 53 appearances.

Tillman is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Starting center Steven Adams (calf) will not play Friday, so Tillman will join the starting lineup for the first time all season. Tillman has made some noise of late, averaging 9.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last three appearances.

Tillman contributed 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 133-103 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Memphis built a 26-point lead by halftime and extended the margin to 36 entering the fourth quarter, giving Tillman a chance to see more than his usual share of playing time. The second-year center responded with one of his best performances of the season, posting a season-high 16 points. Tillman entered the game averaging only four minutes over his previous eight appearances, so he doesn't figure to play a big role for the team down the stretch.

Tillman (personal) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman was unavailable for Sunday's game against Houston while tending to a personal matter, but he'll be back if needed for Tuesday's matchup. He hasn't played much of a role in the Grizzlies' rotation of late, averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in 6.1 minutes over his last seven matchups.

Sun 3/6/22 2:30 PM

Tillman is unavailable for Sunday's contest against the Rockets due to personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman has played 11 total minutes over his last four appearances, so his absence shouldn't impact Memphis' rotation. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Pelicans.
