Unavailable Monday
Rupert (two-way) is listed out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis
Though Rupert turned in a career-best performance in Sunday's loss to the Bucks with a triple-double (33 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) to go with four steals and one block in 39 minutes, the Grizzlies will hold him out for the second leg of their back-to-back set in an effort to manage his availability. After Monday's contest, Rupert will be eligible to play in two of the Grizzlies' remaining three games while he's signed to a two-way deal.

Notches 33-point triple-double
Rupert ended with 33 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and one block across 39 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 loss to the Bucks.
Analysis
Rupert was locked in from the opening the tip, surpassing his previous career high in scoring (20 points) by halftime on his way to notching the first triple-double of his career. The scoring explosion came out of nowhere, as Rupert was held to just four points on 2-for-7 shooting his last time out. However, he was thrust into a prominent offensive role Sunday with Memphis making only nine players available for the game. Rupert should be in line for significant minutes when he plays, but while he remains signed to a two-way deal, he's eligible to suit up for just two of the Grizzlies' final four games of the campaign. If Memphis gets a number of players back in action for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Rupert could end up being inactive for the contest.

Inactive Wednesday
Rupert (two-way) is listed out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
Rupert will hit the inactive list for a second consecutive contest as the Grizzlies aim to preserve his eligibility for the remainder of the season. The two-way player's next chance to suit up will come Friday against Toronto. After Wednesday, he'll be eligible to play in four of Memphis' final six games.
