Anderson (COVID-19 protocols) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has missed the past two games. Assuming he's out Thursday, his next chance to play is Saturday against the Clippers.

Anderson entered the COVID-19 protocols and won't play Monday against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is now the ninth member of the Grizzlies to be in the health and safety protocols. The 28-year-old started the past two games but is now set be sidelined for most of the upcoming week, if not longer.

Anderson ended with just four points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 118-105 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson's breakout season is a mere memory at this point, as he continues to deliver some mediocre performances. When the Grizzlies are at full strength, he's typically limited to around 20 minutes off the bench. As fantasy managers have seen in the past, this is nowhere near enough for him to have any fantasy value beyond deeper formats.

Anderson will start in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a large number of Memphis players unavailable for Wednesday's contest, Anderson is set to make just his fourth start of the season. The 28-year-old is averaging 8.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.1 minutes per game this season.

Anderson closed with 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 113-103 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson recorded his first double-double of the season, and he continues to make an impact off the bench for Memphis. He missed four games in early December, but he has bounced back by putting up two double-digit scoring efforts over his last four contests. The veteran is averaging 8.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season, however, so he might not have a lot of upside even if he's prone to deliver solid performances from time to time.

Anderson will start Saturday's matchup against the Rockets, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jaren Jackson (knee) missing his first game of the year, Anderson will get the nod at power forward. In his two previous starts, he's averaged 5.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 21.5 minutes.

Anderson (back) is available against the Lakers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is returning from a four-game absence caused by back soreness. The forward's return could cause temporary replacement Santi Aldama to receive little or no playing time now. Before getting hurt, Anderson averaged 21.6 minutes across his last 19 games off the bench.

Anderson (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has missed the last four games with a sore back, but the Grizzlies will wait to see if he can make any progress over the next few hours before ruling him in or out. Over his last 10 appearances, Anderson averaged 7.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 threes, so he's not much of a consideration in most fantasy formats.

Anderson (back) will not play Wednesday against the Mavs.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies were holding out hope that Anderson would be able to make it back Wednesday, but he was listed as doubtful so the decision to hold him out doesn't come as a surprise. Heading into a back-to-back, Anderson could very well miss Thursday's game against the Lakers, as well.

Anderson (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

The forward is expected to sit out a fourth straight game, which is on the front end of a back-to-back. The Grizzlies play again Thursday against the Lakers.
