No new Grizzlies players have been ruled out or upgraded. The massive injury list remains unchanged from the early research run. The only two game-time designations to monitor:
All other season-ending absences (Morant, Edey, Aldama, Wells, Clarke, Pippen Jr., KCP, Ty Jerome, Cam Spencer) are unchanged — out for the season.
PG: Javon Small | SG: Jahmai Mashack | SF: Cedric Coward | PF: GG Jackson II | C: Taylor Hendricks. No lineup surprises or late scratches reported. No suspensions or personal matters flagged by any source.
The line has moved half a point toward the Raptors since the T-24h snapshot:
| Book | Spread (current, ~T-3h) | Total | Grizzlies ML |
|---|---|---|---|
| BetMGM | TOR -13.5 (-115) / MEM +13.5 (-105) | 232.5 | +650 |
| BetRivers | TOR -13.5 (-112) / MEM +13.5 (-105) | 233.5 | +540 |
| Raptors Republic (midnight ET snapshot) | TOR -13.5 (-115) / MEM +13.5 (-105) | 232.5 | TOR -935 |
| Predictem (earlier today) | TOR -12.5 (-110) / MEM +12.5 (-110) | 232.5 | TOR -1287 / MEM +700 |

Movement note: Most books opened around TOR -13 (consistent with T-24h research) and have since ticked to -13.5, suggesting moderate public money or sharp action on Toronto. The total (232.5) is stable. Moneyline ranges widely by book (+540 to +650 for Memphis), reflecting normal vig shopping rather than any significant directional shift. No sharp fade or steam move on the Grizzlies detected.
Memphis is running a G-League-caliber rotation. GG Jackson (20 pts last game) and Cedric Coward (season avg 13.4 pts, 5.9 reb) are the primary offensive options. The Grizzlies were routed 130-119 by New York on Wednesday, surrendering 49-20 on the boards and 48 first-quarter points — a defensive performance that makes tonight's matchup against a motivated Toronto squad (fighting for a top-6 East seed) particularly daunting. No late news, travel issues, or load-management concerns reported for Memphis.
Chucky Hepburn (knee) – CONFIRMED OUT: Hepburn has been officially ruled out for tonight's game. He is recovering from torn right meniscus surgery (January 8, 2026) and remains out indefinitely. Confirmed by both ESPN and RotoWire (published April 2, 2026). No change from yesterday's status, but now formally confirmed for this game.
Immanuel Quickley (foot/plantar fasciitis) – CONFIRMED OUT: Per ESPN, Quickley had his first workout without a boot on Wednesday but remains without a timetable for return. He will not play tonight. Confirmed across ESPN, SportsGrid, and Raptors Republic. The boot removal is a mild positive for Quickley's trajectory, but is not a game-day factor.
Jamison Battle (illness) – UPGRADED TO QUESTIONABLE: Battle has been upgraded from OUT (missed last 3 games) to day-to-day/questionable for tonight's game per RotoWire and FOX Sports. This is a new development since the early research run. He is a fringe depth/bench piece so any return would have minimal rotational impact.
Brandon Ingram (heel) – CONFIRMED BACK: Ingram sat out Wednesday's loss to Sacramento (heel management, back-to-back rest) but is confirmed to return to the starting lineup tonight per Raptors Republic. This is a key upgrade compared to Wednesday's lineup.
Projected Starting Five (per Raptors Republic):
Jamal Shead continues as the primary backup PG with Quickley out, having started four of the last six games per FOX Sports.
Toronto enters 42-34, sitting 7th in the East and fighting for playoff seeding. After consecutive losses to Detroit and Sacramento, this is a bounce-back opportunity against a depleted Memphis squad (25-51). Raptors Republic notes Darko Rajakovic may empty his bench early given the talent disparity, which is worth tracking for late-game player props.
