What It Means:

It's now five straight games on the sidelines for Z-Bo, who has no current timetable for a return. Anyone relying on Randolph for the fantasy playoffs must seriously consider moving on at this point, and it can't be considered a good sign the Grizzlies are being so tight-lipped regarding the injury. JaMychal Green will continue to start while Jarell Martin will be asked to play an increased role, as well. In 10 games a starter, Green is averaging 10.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks on 47.3 percent shooting.

Randolph owns a 1.3 nERD this season, which ranks 67th, in 57 games played. He's averaging 14.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while posting a 53.1 True Shooting Percentage. We project Green to score 5.8 points, grab 4.0 rebounds and dish out 0.5 assists against the Rockets.
