Anderson provided nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, nine rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson received a warm welcome when his name was announced and came just short of double-double numbers in this homecoming game. Anderson has found opportunities with the Grizzlies after five years in San Antonio, but it's unclear what will happen to him once Dillon Brooks (knee) and Chandler Parsons (knee) return to action. JaMychal Green is also vying for playing time, so Anderson will need to exceed expectations if he wants to remain at his per-game average of 29.5 minutes.

Anderson had eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 98-88 victory over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson played in excess of 30 minutes for the seventh consecutive game, doing a bit of everything in the victory. He has scored in single-digits the past six games but continues to produce in a number of other areas. If you drafted Anderson, a lack of scoring should have been expected. His peripheral numbers are where his value lies and he is doing just that right now.

Anderson accumulated seven points (3-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 96-88 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson matched his career high in rebounding, which he just set in Saturday's win over the 76ers. He has hauled in double-digit boards three times and dished five dimes twice this season, and continues to look more and more comfortable with his new club. The fact that Dillon Brooks (knee) will miss six-to-eight weeks will only aid Anderson's ability to put up fantasy-friendly numbers.

Anderson tallied eight points (4-8 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 112-106 overtime win against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson hauled in a career high rebounding total while contributing in every category except three-point shooting. Anderson is known for his ability to do a little bit of everything except shoot from the outside, but his deficiencies as a scorer make it tough to rely on him in standard leagues.

Anderson, who tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 28 minutes in the Grizzlies' 107-95 win over the Wizards on Tuesday, is averaging a modest 23.0 minutes and has drawn starts in just three of the first six games of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Inked this offseason to a four-year, $37.2 million contract as a restricted free agent, Anderson was expected to have a firm grasp of the starting small forward job to open the season. However, a preseason heel injury set him back to an extent, and he surprisingly opened the season on the bench behind Chandler Parsons (knee). Parsons' health issues have since opened the door for Anderson to enter the starting five, However, the 25-year-old hasn't been able to parlay the extra minutes into any meaningful production, as he's averaging just 4.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over the subsequent three starts. Shooting has been an issue, as Anderson is draining just 38.5 percent of his 4.3 attempts per contest on the season, with the latter figure also qualifying as a notable drop from last season's career-high average of 5.9 field-goal tries in San Antonio.

Anderson (illness) is available to play Monday against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was listed as questionable heading into Monday's contest, but he'll likely come off the bench as usual. Through two games this season, he's recorded just eight combined points in 39 minutes.

Anderson is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz with an illness.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Anderson's illness is unknown at this time, however more information should come out tomorrow after the team's morning shootaround. If Anderson is unable to go, Omri Casspi and Dillon Brooks could see an increased role.

Anderson will come off the bench Wednesday against Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
The Grizzlies paid up for Anderson's services in free agency, so the decision to bring him off the bench is a bit of a surprise, but nothing is set in stone this early in the season. Chandler Parsons, for whom the Grizzlies are paying up even more, will get the nod at small forward, while JaMychal Green starts at power forward and Garrett Temple starts at shooting guard.

Anderson is starting at shooting guard Friday against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Coach J.B. Bickerstaff continues to toy with the Grizzlies' starting lineup, inserting Anderson at shooting guard. Even if Anderson doesn't end up starting this season, he could still push minutes in the high 20s.
