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.

Williams is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Celtics with a right lower-leg contusion

After being listed as questionable, Williams is now unlikely to play Tuesday. Ryan Nembhard could now see enough playing time at point guard to work his way into the streaming mix in deeper fantasy leagues.

Caruso is questionable for Tuesday's game against Orlando with a right adductor strain, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

The Thunder have upgraded Caruso from doubtful to questionable, signaling that the swingman has a real chance to end a seven-game absence. Caruso's return would slightly cut into the minutes of Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort on the wing.

Russell (illness) is now doubtful for Tuesday's game versus Boston.

This news is unlikely to have a major impact in fantasy hoops, as Russell hasn't seen rotation minutes for Dallas since Jan. 10. He'll be a name to watch at the trade deadline.
