Christopher was waived by the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Christopher was sent to Memphis in a five-team trade that sent Dillon Brooks to Houston, the Grizzlies announced.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher appeared in 64 games last season in Houston, averaging 5.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 12.3 minutes. He'll face an uphill battle in claiming a spot in the Grizzlies rotation.

Christopher is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher gets the starting nod with Kevin Porter (knee) ruled out. He's averaging 5.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season, and in his lone start, he posted seven points across 19 minutes against the Cavaliers on Jan. 26.

Christopher amassed 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 loss to Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher has had inconsistent production on the scoreboard for most of the year but finished in double figures for a second consecutive game Wednesday. Over 16 appearances in March, he's averaged 7.4 points in 13.9 minutes per game.

Christopher registered two points (1-2 FG) across six minutes during Sunday's 108-91 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher played just six minutes in the loss, the fewest he has played in almost two weeks. Despite playing somewhat consistent minutes, Christopher is outside the top 300 over the past two weeks, begging the question of why head coach Stephen Silas refuses to play TyTy Washington. Questionable coaching decisions aside, Christopher remains well off the radar, outside of the deepest of leagues.

Christopher totaled 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals and one assist across 22 minutes during Monday's 121-108 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher struggled from the field but scored in double figures thanks to a perfect night at the charity stripe. The second-year wing has scored in double figures just four times over 11 March appearances and is averaging 7.3 points, 1.2 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 14.5 minutes during that stretch.

Christopher accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 119-111 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher continues to play a limited reserve role for Houston, but he was able to reach double figures Saturday for the first time in four games. Since the All-Star break (nine games), the second-year wing is averaging 8.1 points, 1.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per contest.

Christopher amassed 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-96 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
The Rockets fell behind big in the first quarter and were never really competitive in their second blowout loss to the Thunder this month. Christopher reached double figures in scoring for the first time since Feb. 4, but on the whole, he hasn't seen a notable uptick in minutes since the Rockets parted ways with Eric Gordon at the deadline. Nonetheless, Christopher is still a player to monitor in deeper leagues, especially if Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) continues to miss time after the All-Star break. Jalen Green (groin) also exited Wednesday night's game, so his post-break status will also be worth keeping an eye on.

Christopher supplied 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 153-121 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Christopher was impressive from the field in this one, where he drilled 63.6 percent of his field-goal attempts. He also added six points from beyond the arc and made his mark on the defensive end by collecting a block and a steal. Christopher continues to benefit from the absence of Eric Gordon (rest), Kevin Porter (foot) and Jae'Sean Tate (rest), though this success is unlikely to continue once the backcourt is back in action.
