Waters (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Denver, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Waters missed the Spurs' most recent game due to illness, and he's back on the injury report ahead of Thursday's tilt. The 28-year-old is averaging just 6.5 minutes per game this season.

Wembanyama is questionable to play Thursday versus the Nuggets due to right ankle soreness, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

We'll have a better idea of Wembanyama's status following Thursday's shootaround, but it's worth noting that the 22-year-old center hasn't missed a game since January. However, if Wembanyama does need to hit the sidelines, Luke Kornet would likely get a start, and he'd be someone to consider as a streamer.

Pippen (toe) is out for Thursday's game against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Pippen will miss a third straight game, though it's unclear if the Grizzlies are just giving him a rest day for the opening leg of a back-to-back set. With several other Memphis players sidelined, look for Cam Spencer (neck) and Javon Small to step up against the Mavericks.

Barnes is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to a left ankle impingement, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes is hoping to end a five-game absence with the injury. Another absence for Barnes on Thursday would leave the door open for both Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper to play an expanded role off the bench.

Aldama (knee) is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Aldama will miss his 16th straight game Thursday, and with Memphis continuing to rule him out a full day in advance of tipoff, it's safe to assume he's still not close. Aldama should be viewed as week-to-week moving forward.

Spencer is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to lower-back soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Spencer is at risk of missing the first leg of this back-to-back. The Grizzlies could need each of back Javon Small, Jahmai Mashack and Rayan Rupert to play a significant role in the backcourt Thursday.

Gibson (reconditioning) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Gibson has yet to make his debut for the Grizzlies, but he's not expected to be a significant part of the rotation. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Coward is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against Dallas due to right knee injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Coward is likely to be held out of the opening leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set for rest purposes. With several of Coward's teammates also listed as out or doubtful, Memphis could be forced to lean on Javon Small, Cam Spencer (back), Jahmai Mashack and Rayan Rupert in the backcourt.

Clayton (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Clayton is on track to miss his second straight game Thursday, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Friday's game in Detroit. Ty Jerome (calf) and Cedric Coward (knee) are also doubtful to play and Scotty Pippen (toe) has already been ruled out, so Cam Spencer figures to see major minutes Thursday evening.

Jerome is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to right calf injury management.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies are expected to keep Jerome from playing the first half of their back-to-back. Javon Small, Jahmai Mashack and Rayan Rupert should soak up extra minutes for a depleted Memphis group Thursday.
