NBA News: Grizzlies' Starting Lineup Without Ja Morant Against Kings

On Friday evening, the Memphis Grizzlies are hosting the Sacramento Kings in Memphis. The Kings are already eliminated from the post-season, and their history of missing the playoffs just continues to keep growing by the season.
Over on the Grizzlies side, they will be in the NBA's play-in tournament, and as of Friday, they are the ninth seed in the Western Conference, which means they would host the San Antonio Spurs in the first game of the play-in tournament.
Friday's starting lineup for the Grizzlies (who are missing several key players) can be seen in a post embedded below from Fantasy Labs NBA.
Lineup note: Grizzlies will start Jones, Bane, Winslow, Tillie, Tillman on Friday.
