Double-doubles in 23 minutes Adams closed with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 135-102 win over Indiana.

Impact Adams made it look easy in the blowout win as he went up against the weak Pacers frontcourt. It's his first double-double since he played 37 minutes against the Rockets on March 6, and it's his first sub-30-minute double-double since he managed 15 points and 11 boards against the Hornets in 16 minutes Feb. 12.

Held in check Friday Adams logged six points (2-7 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 118-114 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Adams was quiet in Friday's victory as he battled with Mitchell Robinson all night long. Adams' real-life impact often outweighs his fantasy value, and that was once again on display in this game. Although his role is secure, his playing time does vary depending on the opposition, making him a back-end 12-team asset at best.

Explodes for 23 points in loss Adams accumulated 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Adams went off for a season-high 23 points Sunday, capping off what was arguably his best performance of the year. While the points total will get all the headlines, his peripheral numbers continue to be quietly valuable. He now has at least four assists in 10 straight games, racking up double-digit boards in seven of those games. With the Grizzlies continuing to push for a home playoff series, Adams should be able to maintain a sizeable role moving forward.

Corrals 14 rebounds in victory Adams ended with four points (2-3 FG), 14 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 118-105 win over the Spurs.

Impact Adams was quiet on offense, but he made a major mark in nearly every non-scoring statistical category. The veteran center led all players in the contest with 14 rebounds and three blocks while chipping in a pair of steals and five dimes. Adams averaged 9.2 points, 12.3 boards, 4.8 assists and 1.1 blocks over 10 games in February.

Pulls down 21 boards Adams finished with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 21 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 victory over Chicago.

Impact Adams recorded his fourth double-double over his last six appearances, with the rebound total representing a new season high for the big man from New Zealand. The 28-year-old center remains an elite contributor in that category, but his production in other areas tends to be lean. Even though February has been his best month of the season from a production standpoint, Adams is still averaging only 9.8 points, 4.8 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.1 steals while shooting 63.8 percent from the field and 46.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Double-doubles in win Adams contributed 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-3 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Adams registered his third straight double-double and his fourth over his last five games. He also dished out at least five assists for the 11th time this season. Across six contests in February, the veteran center has averaged 11.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 24.5 minutes per game.

Another double-double in win Adams provided 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 16 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 125-118 win over the Hornets.

Impact For much of the season, Adams was somewhat of an afterthought in fantasy leagues, but he's turned up his production of late. Adams has three double-doubles in his last four games after posting only two double-doubles in his previous 15 appearances. With the All-Star break approaching, the big man is a strong target for fantasy managers in need of help in rebounds and field goal percentage.

Bloody good innit? Adams ended Thursday's 132-107 victory over the Pistons with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-9 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one block over 26 minutes.

Impact Adams logged one of his best games of the season Thursday. The effort marked his ninth double-double this season as well as his ninth game with at least five assists. Over his last four games, Adams is averaging 9.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. Adams will look to stay hot Saturday against Charlotte.

Logs double-double in lopsided win Adams closed with 12 points (6-6 FG), 11 rebounds and eight assists across 23 minutes during Saturday's 135-115 victory over the Magic.

Impact Along with his double-double, Adams turned in a season-high eight assists on a night where backcourt players were uncharacteristically strong in the paint. It was an excellent bounce-back for Adams, who sprained his ankle earlier in the week and posted two subpar lines while dealing with the injury.
