Anderson managed just three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and an assist over 10 minutes in a start at small forward in Monday's 96-94 preseason loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran took a turn in the starting five but couldn't do much to distinguish himself during a modest amount of time on the court. Anderson was outpaced in playing time by fellow small forward candidates Luc Mbah a Moute and Wesley Johnson, although none of the three managed to provide anything resembling an encouraging performance. The 33-year-old Anderson now has back-to-back three-point efforts after starting the preseason with a 10-point tally against the Warriors, and irrespective of whether he's able to snag the top job, won't figure for much fantasy relevance considering the share of the offense that Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan already command.
