Drops 20 in Thursday's win Clarke provided 20 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 29 minutes during Thursday's 104-95 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact The third-year big continues to be an important part of the Grizzlies' second unit, helping the club overcome a 26-point deficit Thursday to take a 2-1 series lead. Through three games against Minnesota, Clarke is averaging 15.3 points, 7.7 boards, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting an absurd 70.8 percent from the floor.

Double-double off bench Saturday Clarke logged 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 130-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact After managing only four double-doubles during the regular season, Clarke came through with another to begin the Grizzlies' postseason. The third-year center ended up playing more minutes Saturday than the ineffective Steven Adams, and including the Game 1 loss, Clarke is averaging 11.9 points, 5.4 boards, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals in 21.0 minutes over his last eight games. If Adams continues to struggle against Karl-Anthony Towns, Clarke could become a very important player for Memphis in the first round.

Will dress, unlikely to play Clarke (thigh) is expected to dress for Sunday's game against the Celtics, but he's not expected to play, Evan Barnes of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact It's unclear if the Grizzlies will issue an official update to Clarke's status before tip, but for the time being it looks like he'll technically be on the active list. However, coach Taylor Jenkins implied pregame that neither Clarke nor Desmond Bane are likely to enter the game unless it's an emergency situation. Expect Santi Aldama, Xavier Tillman and Kyle Anderson to be among the beneficiaries of Clarke's absence from the rotation.

Iffy for Sunday Clarke is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a right thigh contusion.

Impact It wouldn't be surprising to see Clark eventually ruled out, as the Grizzlies have already announced that they are resting the majority of their regulars. However, if he's available, the third-year big man will likely garner an increased role during the regular-season finale.

Perfect off bench Saturday Clarke produced 20 points (10-10 FG), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 141-114 win over New Orleans.

Impact It was an incredibly efficient performance from the third-year big, as Clarke hit for at least 20 points for the first time since Jan. 28. He'll look to cap off a solid regular season Sunday against the Celtics before the Grizzlies get ready to host either the Timberwolves or Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.

Impact Clarke missed each of Memphis' previous two contests due to hip soreness, but he played 25 minutes -- his most since March 11 -- against Golden State. The big man struggled with his shot but still managed his seventh game of double-digit scoring over his past nine contests. Clarke is averaging 10.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks over that stretch.
