Luke Kennard Gets 21 Points Off The Bench
Luke Kennard continued his recent hot streak on Wednesday against the Timberwolves, producing 21 points and a game-high plus-29 rating in 29 minutes off the bench. He shot 8-for-16 from the field, including 3-for-7 from downtown. Kennard has stepped up big time lately, providing some good secondary scoring for the team. He's averaged 22 points per game this month in three outings, shooting a sizzling 60.9 percent from three-point land. The level is clearly unsustainable, but he might still keep it up for a while, especially with a pair of games against the Bulls coming up. Chicago are giving up 12.1 made three-pointers per game this season, which is one of the worst marks in the league.

Luke Kennard Active On Tuesday
Luke Kennard (knee) will be available for Tuesday's play-in contest against the Golden State Warriors. Right knee soreness kept Kennard off the court on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Kennard occasionally pops off for a big game but mostly takes the backseat in Grizzlies games. He has averaged only 4.4 points per game in April, despite logging over 20 minutes on most nights.

Luke Kennard Ready To Face Hornets

Luke Kennard Available To Play Monday
Luke Kennard (hamstring) was originally listed as out for Monday night's matchup against the Mavs, but he was upgraded to questionable in the afternoon and ultimately will be able to give it a go. He has stepped into a very involved role with Desmond Bane (ankle) and Ja Morant (shoulder) off the floor, as they will be on Monday. With those guards out, Kennard's usage has jumped to 17.3% from his season average of 14.3%. In the three games he has played without the two starters, he averaged 8.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. He could be a solid DFS value play if he's able to have a similar workload on Monday, and his availability crowds Cam Spencer and Yuki Kawamura (shoulder) as potential DFS punt plays.

Luke Kennard Available For Monday's Game
Luke Kennard (hamstring) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Kennard is back in action following a one-game absence due to hamstring soreness. Normally, Kennard's status isn't noteworthy, but the Grizzlies are going to need to lean on him more with them being shorthanded. Kennard has finished with double digit points in four of his last five games. He's worth a look as a deep league streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now.
