LaMarcus Aldridge should be available for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Aldridge isn't listed on the Spurs' injury report and should be available for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

Aldridge missed Saturday's loss to the Thunder for rest purposes, as coach Gregg Popovich sat out a number of his regulars for the second half of a back-to-back set. Popovich will again give Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili a second game in a row off Monday with the hope of having all three aging veterans ready to go for the postseason, but a one-game rest should be all the comparably younger Aldridge needs. With those aforementioned three players out and Kawhi Leonard (quad) also a candidate to remain sidelined Monday, Aldridge could be the focal point of the Spurs' offense, making him an excellent daily target. In his previous appearance -- which came against this same Grizzlies team on Friday -- Aldridge delivered one of his best performances of the season, tallying 32 points (12-16 FG, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three blocks, two steals, and one assist over 33 minutes.
