Fantasy points 2020:
Brooks’ shooting from the field can be inconsistent and his peripheral production is unreliable, but he’s now sitting on a career-best 18.6 points per game, while his 42.3 field-goal percentage is a four-year high.
Though Brooks has been struggling, he’s still been a crucial rotation piece, and his absence will create a significant void in Memphis’ offense. For however long he’s sidelined, more minutes could be in store for John Konchar, De’Anthony Melton and Jarrett Culver.
Injury Return:
Memphis Grizzlies SG Dillon Brooks has been ruled out for Thursday night’s game vs. the Los Angeles Lakers after being placed in the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
Brooks is one of several players to land in protocols in the League on Thursday and throughout this week. The Grizzlies will now be missing their starting backcourt with PG Ja Morant (knee) sidelined indefinitely.
As for the betting side, the Grizz were getting 4 points on the spread against the Lakers at home. If you can pounce on L.A. after the Brooks news, go for it. The under becomes an appealing play as well. The line was set at 223.5 with 68 percent of the bets.

There are a few strong plays on DraftKings for Memphis now that Brooks is also out. Desmond Bane ($6,900) has been playing extremely well and his price is very nice. Tyus Jones ($6,000) has been starting in place of Morant and could end up seeing more shot opportunities with Brooks sidelined. De’Anthony Melton ($4,600) is the next man up and could end up starting in place of Brooks alongside Bane and Jones.
