Anderson will start at guard in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's last start came a few weeks ago and was at shooting guard. That game saw Anderson play 18 minutes, up from his season high of 10.9 minutes per game. He has only played in two games so far in March, but figures to see a large minutes increase now that he's starting. Look for him to return to the bench as soon as Rajon Rondo (toe), Ben McLemore (finger), or Marco Belinelli (ankle) return to the lineup.

Anderson had three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 18 minutes during the Kings' 131-116 loss to the Thunder on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson took Rudy Gay's place in the starting lineup, as Gay sat with a sprained shoulder. However, Anderson wasn't able to make much happen, and as a result he didn't stay on the court for long. The journeyman is averaging 2.2 points and 1.3 rebounds across 11 minutes per contest in 34 appearances this season, and he can safely be left on the waiver wire in fantasy.

Anderson will start Monday versus the Thunder, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will replace Rudy Gay in the starting lineup Monday. He will draw the unfavorable task of defending Kevin Durant. Gay will unlikely be out for long, so Anderson's increased role should be short-lived.

Anderson produced two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds, and two blocks across 18 minutes in Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Though Anderson entered the starting five in place of the injured Rudy Gay (heel), second-unit standout Omri Casspi (29 minutes) still ended up dominating the playing time at small forward. Anderson should be able to hold down a rotation spot so long as both Gay and Ben McLemore (wrist) remain affected by injuries, but once the duo returns to full health, his minutes could dry up completely.

Anderson is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will run with the starters, as Rudy Gay will take the night off while he recovers from a heel injury. He's averaging just under 11 minutes per game this season, but should see an increase in that number with Gay on the sideline. Look for Anderson to share the additional minutes with Omri Casspi.

Anderson recorded two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, and one block in 18 minutes during the Kings' 112-97 loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has appeared in four of the last five contests. However, given that he is averaging merely 10 minutes per night this season, there's no real reason to bank on him in fantasy.

Anderson (hamstring) didn't play in Wednesday's 109-97 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
The official game box score lists Anderson as not playing due to a coach's decision, so we'll assume he's healthy now after he entered the contest listed as probable to play with the hamstring issue. With the Kings at full strength in the backcourt at the moment, it may be difficult for Anderson to find regular time in the rotation.

Anderson (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson is nursing a left hamstring strain, but after three days off for rest, he's expected to be active and available to play Wednesday. Anderson is averaging just 2.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.4 assists over 10 minutes per game, so even when healthy, he'll remain off the fantasy radar unless he establishes a bigger role in the Kings' regular rotation.

Anderson (hamstring) won't play Saturday versus the Warriors, James Ham of CSN Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because the Kings have three days off before their next game Wednesday versus the Pelicans, Anderson will take a seat Saturday, though his absence shouldn't affect the wing rotation too incredibly much.

Anderson (coach's decision) hasn't appeared in any of the Kings' last three games.
EDGE Analysis
With only five appearances in the Kings' last 13 contests, Anderson seems to have fallen out of coach George Karl's rotation, and that doesn't figure to change anytime soon. Karl appears to be comfortable enough with the duo of Ben McLemore and Marco Belinelli at shooting guard, along with some spot minutes from Darren Collison.
