Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
Edey provided six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 115-99 loss to Portland.
Edey and Donovan Clingan started opposite each other, summoning memories of last year's NCAA Championship game. Clingan had Edey's number during Wednesday's loss, as foul trouble limited the rookie to only 11 minutes on the floor. Brandon Clarke (knee) went down with an injury during the game, which may require a usage increase from Edey if the injury keeps Clarke out.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Sixth double-double Sunday
Rotowire
Edey closed with 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-119 victory over Milwaukee.
Edey lost some playing time down the stretch Sunday to Santi Aldama, but that didn't stop the former from producing his sixth double-double of the season. The rookie first-rounder continues to start for the Grizzlies, but he's yet to reach the 30-minute marker in a game this year. Even so, Edey remains a strong source of swats and boards to go with a high field-goal percentage for fantasy managers in category-based settings.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Imposing presence down low
Rotowire
Edey had 19 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 win over the Jazz.
Edey was coming off a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double in the win over the Pelicans on Friday, but somehow, he was even better in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 19 points were his third-best scoring mark of the campaign, and the four blocks tied his season-best output in that category. The Grizzlies have been very cautious with Edey's workload in his rookie year, but there's no question he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Edey has started in all but one of his 11 appearances in January, averaging 5.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.9 blocks across 18.5 minutes per game in that span.

Over his past six performances, the rookie center has failed to record double-digit points or rebounds, averaging 5.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.5 minutes. He'll bounce back sooner than later, but his upside is relatively capped when the team is at full strength, especially in the frontcourt.
