Randolph (knee) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Monday, Rob Fischer of FOX Sports Southeast reports.

Analysis:

The injury woes continue for the Grizzlies, as Randolph will now be sidelined for his fifth straight contest. His sore right knee appears to be taking longer than expected to heal, leaving the Grizzlies with a major void in the frontcourt while Brandon Wright (knee), Marc Gasol (foot), and Chris Andersen (shoulder) all remain out. JaMychal Green has been playing effectively in place of Randolph as the starter at power forward, and should benefit from plenty of run in his stead.
