After recording a modest stat line in Wednesday’s loss to the Magic, Anderson was considerably better against the Rockets on Friday. SloMo finished one assist shy of a triple-double while shooting over 50 percent from the field. And in 32 minutes, Anderson did not commit a turnover. His value in active fantasy leagues for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Pelicans depends on the availability of Julius Randle.

Anderson is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Magic with a sore right knee. His return expands the Timberwolves’ rotation to nine, as only eight players saw action the last time out. Andreson is not a player who should be rostered in redraft leagues.

Due to a sore right knee, Anderson did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Magic. As a result, the Timberwolves stuck with an eight-man rotation instead of looking for a ninth player to take on Anderson’s role.

Anderson is out after being listed as questionable with right knee soreness. The 32-year-old small forward played 14 and 15 minutes in his last two games, so his absence will free up some minutes at the back end of the Timberwolves’ bench rotation. Similarly, his absence will have minimal impact on fantasy basketball.

Anderson, who has played 14 and 15 minutes in his last two games, is dealing with a sore right knee. If he can’t play on Saturday, his absence frees up minutes on the back end of the Timberwolves’ rotation. In the game preceding Anderson’s return to Minnesota, head coach Chris Finch went with an eight-man rotation instead of nine.

Beginning his second stint with the Timberwolves, Anderson was thrust into the rotation immediately. While the playing time and production weren’t enough to make SloMo someone worth considering in fantasy leagues, his addition did extend Minnesota’s rotation to nine players. Mike Conley, who has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball, picked up another DNP-CD, while Bones Hyland (six points, two rebounds and two three-pointers) played just 12 minutes off the bench.

Anderson has missed Memphis’ last four games, the last two for personal reasons. He’s reportedly leaving Memphis, with Charania reporting that Anderson plans to sign with the Timberwolves once he clears waivers. To address the opening on their roster and lack of frontcourt depth, the Grizzlies are reportedly signing Taj Gibson.

Anderson, who missed two games with a sore right knee, was not with the team for Wednesday’s loss to the Warriors for personal reasons. He’ll miss another game on Friday, further enhancing the fantasy value of GG Jackson and Taylor Hendricks. Jackson is the superior fantasy option of the two.

Already dealing with a sore right knee, Anderson is also away from the Grizzlies for Wednesday’s game for personal reasons. With Jahmai Mashack (G League) also inactive, Memphis will continue to rely on Taylor Hendricks, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the frontcourt.

Slo Mo has missed the last two games for Memphis and could make it a third straight absence against Golden State. Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson should continue to play big minutes as a starter, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper should take on extra minutes off the bench.

Anderson missed Saturday’s loss to the Heat and was initially listed as doubtful for Monday’s game against the Kings with a knee injury, so his absence isn’t much of a surprise. GG Jackson is the primary beneficiary from Anderson’s absence from a fantasy perspective as he’ll see plenty of minutes off the bench.

Andreson did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Heat, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a second game on Monday. If so, the Grizzlies will once again rely on Taylor Hendricks and Olivier-Maxence Prosper as starters, with GG Jackson playing heavy minutes off the bench. Jackson is the best fantasy option of the three.

Andreson will miss Saturday’s game with a sore right knee, which frees up minutes among the Grizzlies’ reserves. Lawson Lovering, who played 32 minutes as the starting center on Saturday, became a free agent afterward due to the expiration of his 10-day contract. Look for Olivier-Maxence Prosper to play plenty, potentially as a starter.

Anderson will continue to have an increased role with Santi Aldama (knee) out, but only if he’s available himself. The 32-year-old forward is questionable with a knee injury of his own. Anderson is only worth streaming in deeper formats if he’s starting.

For those wondering what the Grizzlies would do at the center position without Santi Aldama, the answer for their two games in Portland was to go small. After sitting out Friday’s defeat, Anderson was tabbed to serve as the starting center on Saturday, and he recorded a nice stat line. The four defensive contributions were the most in a game for SloMo since New Year’s Day. His value moving forward depends partly on Aldama’s availability. The Grizzlies play four games in Week 17, two before the All-Star break.

Jackson is the only starter who was in the lineup for Friday’s loss to Portland. Jerome is the best fantasy option among the four replacements, and he’s worth rostering in 12-team leagues. Caldwell-Pope and Anderson can offer deep-league streaming value, while fantasy managers should leave Mashack on the waiver wire.

Anderson missed Friday’s game with an illness. It would’ve been the first game of his second stint in his career with the Grizzlies, but that’ll likely come Saturday. Without knowing how the Grizzlies plan to deploy Anderson, it’s difficult to gauge his current fantasy value.

Anderson’s second stint with the Grizzlies won’t begin on Friday, as he’s due to an illness. Since it’s unknown how he’ll fit into the rotation, SloMo’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

After 20 games in his first season with the Jazz, Anderson is going from one rebuild to another. Due to the limited playing time when he was active, Slo-Mo did not affect fantasy basketball in Utah. And that may not change in Memphis, despite this being his second stint (2018-22) with the franchise.

Jusuf Nurkić (rest) is out, and Kevin Love (illness) is doubtful, so Anderson could see some extra run against Indiana, with Kyle Filipowski potentially joining the first unit. Anderson isn’t worth a look outside the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Anderson came off the bench to lead the injury-hit Jazz in scoring on Thursday, finishing as one of two on the team to score at least 20 points. The veteran forward hadn’t seen the court since December 15 and hadn’t scored a point since December 5. He collected a season-high in rebounds and blocks as well, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect Anderson to become a reliable option across fantasy leagues. He’ll look to land a consecutive strong outing against the Warriors on Saturday.

Anderson is a late addition to the injury report and will not be available. His absence likely means that Kevin Love will be part of the rotation, especially with Lauri Markkanen also out. However, there’s no need to roster Love in most leagues.

Anderson will be back after a four-game absence, but he has only made three appearances this year. Even when healthy, he hasn’t been a large part of the rotation. He should be left on the waiver wire.

Anderson has only appeared in three games this season, surpassing 12 minutes once. His absence on Monday will not impact fantasy basketball, but it may ensure some of Utah’s younger wings additional minutes, most notably Brice Sensabaugh.

Making his first official appearance for the Jazz, Anderson logged 25 minutes. Given Utah’s youth, that was surprising to say the least. Anderson’s playing time came at the expense of Kyle Filipowski (two points, two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes), who played the first eight minutes and did not return until the outcome was no longer in doubt. The minutes split was an eye-opening development given Filipowski’s ceiling, especially when compared to Anderson’s. Filipowski didn’t play well in his first stint, but fantasy managers must track Utah’s rotation in Sunday’s game against the Hornets.
