Starting after all
Aldama is in the Grizzlies' starting five for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
Jake LaRavia was initially announced to take Aldama's spot in the starting five for Saturday's game, but the Grizzlies have changed course and will keep the latter with the starters. Aldama will make his fifth start of the regular season alongside Ja Morant, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Not starting Saturday
Aldama won't start Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Aldama posted 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and a steal in 33 minutes as a starter during Thurday's 122-99 win over the Bucks, which was his fourth start through six regular-season games this season. However, he'll shift to the bench Saturday, making room for Jake LaRavia. Aldama's had mixed results in his two games off the bench this season. On Oct. 30 versus Brooklyn, he scored two points and grabbed three rebounds in 22 minutes during a loss. On Oct. 26 versus Orlando, Aldama posted 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a block in 28 minutes during a win.

Near double-double vs. Bucks
Aldama ended Thursday's 122-99 win over Milwaukee with 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes.
Analysis
Aldama was inserted back into the Grizzlies' starting lineup Thursday due to injuries to Desmond Bane (oblique) and Marcus Smart (ankle). Aldama took advantage of the opportunity as he was one rebound shy of registering his second double-double of the regular season and was Memphis' second-leading scorer behind Ja Morant (26). As a starter, Aldama is averaging 14.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists over 30.5 minutes per game.

Back with first unit
Aldama is starting Thursday night's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Aldama will make his fourth start of the season while a good chunk of the Memphis roster works to get healthy. He put together a strong showing in his last start Monday against the Bulls, finishing with 11 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Returning to bench Wednesday
Aldama will join the second unit for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.
Analysis
Aldama exits the starting lineup with Ja Morant (thigh) returning to action. Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart will start alongside Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey as the Grizzlies return to health.

Posts double-double
Aldama accumulated 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 35 minutes during Monday's 126-123 loss to the Bulls.
Analysis
Aldama didn't have his best shooting performance Monday, but the lack of efficiency is secondary given how good he looked on both ends of the court. Aldama finished just three assists away from recording a triple-double, and even though he's expected to head back to a bench role when Ja Morant (thigh) returns, Aldama should remain valuable in fantasy as long as he sees enough minutes due to his ability to contribute in multiple ways.
28 October 2024
Back in starting five Monday
Aldama will enter the starting lineup in Monday's matchup against the Bulls.
Analysis
With Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane starting in the backcourt sans Ja Morant (thigh), Aldama will start at small forward. The 23-year-old has carved out a significant role with Memphis this season, and through three regular-season games he is averaging 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 63.3 percent from the floor across 27.0 minutes per game.
