Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (health protocols) will not play in Thursday's contest against the Houston Rockets.
Valanciunas will miss his fourth straight game for health protocol reasons. In an uptempo matchup against a Rockets' unit playing with a 101.9 pace, expect Xavier Tillman to play more minutes at the five on Thursday.
Tillman's current projection against Houston includes 9.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.
