Marc Gasol (back) will be a game-time call on Friday for Memphis

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (back) will be a game-time decision against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

What It Means:

Gasol left Wednesday's season opener briefly with the back injury, and it looks like the injury has lingered. Facing a terrible Hawks team, Gasol may opt to rest on Friday and save himself for later int he season. Jaren Jackson will likely find his way into the starting lineup if Gasol doesn't play.

Our models project Gasol for 36.8 FanDuel points in 33.2 minutes if he does suit up on Friday night.
