The Grizzlies knocked off the reeling Lakers on Wednesday, aided by Darrell Arthur's season-high 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting.
Arthur added nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and zero turnovers in 28 minutes. He is the big winner from Memphis' recent trade that sent Marreese Speights to Cleveland and he should have sustained value in deep leagues. For his career, he's averaged 6.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.7 blocks in just 19 minutes per game.

Current Grizzlies executive and former ESPN columnist John Hollinger has raved about PF Darrell Arthur.
It's something worth noting in the wake of Tuesday morning's trade that sent Marreese Speights to Cleveland. In the linked ESPN column, Hollinger refers to Arthur as a "rock-solid team defender and money mid-range jump-shooter." It's not unreasonable to believe that Hollinger is now getting his wish by clearing out minutes at power forward. Arthur is a good bet to jump to 20-23 minutes as Zach Randolph's primary backup going forward. He'll be battling the newly acquired Jon Leuer.

Darrell Arthur scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds on Saturday, playing 28 minutes off the bench.
Arthur knocked down two clutch jumpers in Friday's win over the Spurs, and he's earning a solid role off the bench, but tonight's line should be taken with a grain of salt. Memphis trailed by 15 points at halftime and 26 points after three quarters, so there was copious garbage time.

Darrell Arthur helped propel the Grizzlies to a 101-98 overtime win over the Spurs off the bench with 14 points, five boards, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes.
Arthur had some tough luck in the offseason and broke his leg, so it's nice to see him come up big for Memphis. He won't have much value while Zach Randolph (18 points and 10 boards in 43 minutes) and Marc Gasol are healthy, so he can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of leagues.

Darrell Arthur had 10 points, three rebounds, one block and two 3-pointers in 23 minutes against the Celtics on Wednesday.
He didn't make a single 3-pointer in his NBA career before tonight on 13 attempts and was able to knock down two in a win. His production has seen a slight bump lately, but he's not even close to being on the radar in standard leagues.

Darrell Arthur (concussion) returned to action on Monday.
Arthur played 10 minutes and scored five points with one rebound, one assist, and one block. He'll need one or two injuries in front of him to have any real fantasy value, but he was playing well before his major injuries struck.

Darrell Arthur will not play on Saturday due to concussion symptoms stemming from an injury in Friday's game.
Arthur was elbowed on Friday and will undergo league-mandated testing to clear him of a concussion. He's a valuable part of the Grizzlies' bench, but hasn't been offering fantasy value in average leagues this year.

Darrell Arthur suffered a mouth injury on Friday and the team also ruled out the possibility of a concussion.
Arthur didn't look like he was all there after getting elbowed in the mouth. He played just two minutes and didn't score on Friday. He's not a fantasy option.

Darrell Arthur suffered a mouth injury from getting elbowed and will not return to Friday's game.
He was staggering to the locker room and he's most likely undergoing concussion tests. Arthur has some bad luck when it comes to injuries and he broke his leg in the summer. He's not on the radar in fantasy leagues.
