Stevens isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Warriors, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stevens entered the starting lineup in Memphis' regular-season finale due to many of the team's typical starters sitting out but will return to the bench Tuesday. Across Stevens' last 10 appearances coming off the bench, he has averaged 2.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 7.1 minutes.

Stevens registered 31 points (14-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 132-97 victory over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Stevens took advantage of the fact that the Grizzlies rested most of their regular rotation members for the regular-season finale, and he stepped by posting the best scoring performance of his career. However, Stevens isn't expected to hold a significant role in the rotation once the playoffs begin. After all, even when including this outing Sunday, he averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 rebounds across 9.1 minutes per game in 17 regular-season contests (one start) this season.

Stevens will start Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With most of Memphis' regulars sidelined, Stevens will make his first start of the season. He's played more than 20 minutes only once this season, totaling 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes during a 120-118 win over Phoenix on March 10.

Stevens totaled zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over zero minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Stevens' modest role continued Friday, failing to score for the seventh time in the past eight games. After stepping into a meaningful role from March 10 to March 15, during which he averaged 16.5 minutes per game, he has faded into obscurity of late. Over his past six games, he has averaged 0.5 points in 3.3 minutes.

Stevens (shoulder) tallied two points (1-2 FG) across two minutes in Thursday's 125-104 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Stevens was back in action after missing Memphis' previous three games with right shoulder bursitis, but he barely cracked the rotation. He played 11 seconds to close out the third quarter and then didn't re-enter the game until the final 2:13 of the contest, when the Grizzlies trailed by 20 points and most other key contributors had already been shut down for the night.
