Wells closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 22 minutes during Monday's 128-109 victory over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Wells has been one of the best rookies in the NBA during the 2024-25 campaign, but he's coming off a performance in which he shot a season-low three attempts from the field, hitting one shot for a season-low two points. The second-round draft pick could be trending down from a fantasy perspective, as he's attempted eight or fewer shots in six straight games.

Wells supplied 16 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds across 29 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie finished with 15-plus points for the 12th time this season in an efficient shooting performance. Wells has reached double figures in four of his last five outings, during which he has averaged 14.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 29.8 minutes per contest.

Wells ended with 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 140-112 victory over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
From an efficiency perspective, Wells had one of his best performances of the season, as the rookie missed just three of his 11 shots while draining six threes, his second-best mark this season. Arguably, his most impressive sequence was a one-legged three-pointer over Victor Wembanyama, and he continued an outstanding stretch of play. Over eight games this month, Wells has scored in double digits five times while averaging 14.1 points per contest.

Wells closed Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets with 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two steals across 30 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Wells continues to trend in the right direction for the shorthanded Grizzlies. Through six January outings, the rookie guard is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. He'll likely remain on the streaming radar until the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back in the rotation.

Wells posted 17 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 boards and an assist in 35 minutes of play during Monday's 119-104 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Although Wells struggled to score efficiently, he was able to set a career-high in rebounds and did a good job getting to the line. With Ja Morant (shoulder), Desmond Bane (ankle) and Marcus Smart (finger) all sidelined, the guard depth chart is wide open for Wells to command the ball more than he ever has thus far in his young career. However, Morant is week-to-week, Bane is day-to-day and Smart is due to be re-evaluated soon, so it's difficult to tell how long he'll continue to get this kind of volume.

Wells contributed 30 points (11-16 FG, 8-9 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 138-133 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Wells came out of nowhere to post a career-high scoring total by a wide margin. The 2024 first-round pick is loaded with potential, and absences from Ja Morant (shoulder) and Marcus Smart (finger) give hm numerous opportunities to strut his stuff. Wells' explosive total is a sign of what Memphis fans can look forward to as the rookie develops further.

Wells registered 11 points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Wells scored in double digits for the third time in the past four games, continuing to provide the Grizzles with serviceable production. After coming off the bench for the first five games of the season, Wells has since been a regular member of the starting lineup. Over the past two months, he has averaged 11.6 points and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game.

Wells finished Monday's 114-110 loss to the Clippers with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
With Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson combining to score 68 points, Wells understandably took a backseat on offense. With a low usage rate and a mild workload, he's mostly been a deep-league contributor in fantasy with averages of 9.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 10 December outings.

Wells closed Sunday's 136-121 win over the Pacers with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Wells provided a nice spark from deep in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three while ending as one of seven Grizzlies in double figures in scoring in a winning effort. Wells has connected on at least three threes in three of his last five contests while posting a double-digit point total in seven of the last 10 games.

Wells registered 26 points (10-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie has been one of the most pleasant surprises among first-year players this season, and he delivered his best game of the campaign Saturday. Wells has performed better than expected this season and hasn't looked overmatched since being promoted to a starting role. The former Washington State standout has scored in double digits in nine of his 12 starts, and he's recorded at least 15 points seven times already.
