The Jazz traded Anderson (illness), Walter Clayton, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang (foot) and three first-round picks to the Grizzlies on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Jock Landale and Vince Williams, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Provided the veteran forward stays put, it's set to be his second stint with the Grizzlies. Anderson offers some depth to a Memphis frontcourt that's now thinned out, though his role going forward remains unclear. Over his last 11 outings, Anderson has averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 21.8 minutes per game. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game in Sacramento while the trade finalizes.

The Grizzlies acquired Hendricks from the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Jock Landale and Vince Williams, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Jazz also sent Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson (illness) and Georges Niang (foot) to Memphis with three first-round picks attached.

Hendricks is a young forward with upside that the Grizzlies will now look forward to developing as they embark on a full rebuild. Hendricks was used sparingly by the Jazz as a reserve stuck behind Lauri Markkanen. Across 33 games, he averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest. With Memphis' limited frontcourt depth, Hendricks is immediately on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

The Jazz traded Clayton to the Grizzlies on Tuesday in exchange for Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck), Vince Williams and Jock Landale, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Kyle Anderson (illness), Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang (foot) and three first-round picks were also sent to Memphis.

Clayton, the No. 18 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, was one of the centerpieces of this trade. With the Grizzlies going all-in on their rebuild, Clayton has an exciting opportunity ahead of him to carve out a major role in Memphis, especially if the team ends up moving Ja Morant (elbow) as well. In 45 appearances with the Jazz, Clayton averaged 6.8 points, 3.2 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest. The rookie is questionable to make his debut Wednesday against the Kings.

The Grizzlies traded Williams, Jaren Jackson, John Konchar and Jock Landale to the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Walter Clayton, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang and three first-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Williams opened the season injured but had stepped into a more prominent role as of late, and he'll now be competing for minutes on the wing with Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh in Utah. Over his last six contests, Williams has averaged 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes per game. He can be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Atlanta while the trade finalizes.

The Grizzlies traded Landale, Jaren Jackson, John Konchar (neck) and Vince Williams to the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Walter Clayton, Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Anderson (illness), Georges Niang (foot) and three first-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

For the time being, the Jazz now have a logjam at center that also includes Jusuf Nurkic and Kyle Filipowski. Utah's other potential moves ahead of the trade deadline remain to be seen, but it appears Landale has plenty of competition for playing time, which could have a negative impact on his fantasy value. He can be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Atlanta while the trade finalizes.

The Grizzlies traded Jackson to the Jazz on Tuesday in exchange for Walter Clayton, Kyle Anderson (illness), Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang (foot) and three future first-round picks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Memphis also included Vince Williams, John Konchar and Jock Landale (neck) in the deal.

The Grizzlies are going all-in on a rebuild with this move. It's a surprise to see Jackson moved before Ja Morant, but the Jazz clearly met the high asking price with this haul of young talent and draft capital. Jackson was in the midst of a frustrating season in Memphis, but now the former Defensive Player of the Year will get a chance to rejuvenate himself with a fresh start. He figures to be the new face of the Jazz and becomes an intriguing pairing with Lauri Markkanen in the frontcourt. Jackson's debut with the Jazz likely won't come until Thursday against the Hawks at the earliest.

Wells posted 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 137-128 victory over Minnesota.

Wells continues to handle a significant role on the wing for the Grizzlies. The second-year swingman has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight outings, during which Wells has averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per game.

Lopez closed Monday's 128-113 loss to Philadelphia with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 20 minutes.

Lopez continues to provide some value in deep category-driven leagues, but his upside is capped as long as Ivica Zubac is healthy at center. Over his last six appearances, Lopez has averaged 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes per game.

Edgecombe supplied five points (1-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 128-113 victory over the Clippers.

It was a miserable shooting night for Edgecombe, who's experiencing a cold snap of late. The 2025 first-rounder is shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor over his last seven games, during which Edgecombe has averaged 9.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 34.1 minutes per game.

Dunn had six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 128-113 loss to the 76ers.

The absence of James Harden (personal) didn't translate into a noticeable boost in usage for Dunn on Monday. Dunn remains strictly a fantasy streamer for swipes, averaging 6.1 points, 3.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 26.0 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.
