Tillman has been relegated back to the bench for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman has been replaced in the starting unit by Vince Williams, who missed Monday's game against the Kings due to a knee injury. Tillman will likely return to his role as the big man on the second unit, backing up Jaren Jackson.

Tillman contributed 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman moved back into the starting lineup, turning in his best performance in almost two weeks. Since returning from a one-game absence, Tillman had been coming off the bench. A plethora of injuries allowed him to up his playing time, eclipsing 30 minutes. While there is no certainty regarding his role, Tillman is worth keeping an eye on.

Tillman is starting Monday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman will draw his first start since Jan. 18 due to the absence of multiple key rotation players, including Vince Williams (knee), Luke Kennard (knee), John Konchar (ankle) and Marcus Smart (finger). Tillman gets the nod at center, while Jaren Jackson bumps over to power forward and Santi Aldama starts at small forward.

Tillman finished Friday's 107-106 win over the Magic with five points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 13 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman continues to play limited minutes off the bench, ending with just five points in 13 minutes. Since returning from injury, Tillman has been unable to find any rhythm on the offensive end. His defensive production is offering a small amount of upside, albeit in slightly deeper formats.

Tillman (knee) is cleared for Monday's game against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman returns from a one-game absence due to left knee soreness. The 25-year-old will likely slot back in as Memphis' starting center alongside Jaren Jackson in the frontcourt, resulting in dips in roles for Santi Aldama, David Roddy and GG Jackson.

Tillman (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman joined Memphis' long injury report Saturday and was sidelined for a loss to the Bulls, but he'll have a chance to return Monday. He has started four straight appearances and is averaging 11.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks in 32.2 minutes over his last five games.

Tillman (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough blow for a Memphis team that has already been devastated by injuries. With Tillman sidelined, the Grizzlies could turn to guys like Santi Aldama and David Roddy to soak up some frontcourt minutes. Tillman's next chance to play will be Monday against Toronto.

Tillman is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls due to left knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign for his availability Saturday. If Tillman is ruled out, Santi Aldama will likely receive increased playing time.

Tillman racked up 12 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and six steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
Tillman made his presence felt on both ends of the court Saturday despite the loss, as he started for the third time over Memphis' last four games, but there's no question the most impressive aspect of his stat line was the six steals, a season-high mark for him and the seventh time he registers two or more steals in a game. Tillman could move back to the bench once the Grizzlies return to full strength, and if that's the case, then his fantasy upside will be minimal outside of very deep formats.
