Impact The 29-year-old center remains uncertain for Monday's contest against Sacramento. If Adams is unable to suit up, Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman figure to see additional usage.

Game-time call Monday Adams (knee) is a game-time decision for Monday's contest the Kings, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Iffy for Monday's contest Adams is questionable for Monday's contest due to right knee soreness.
Impact Adams and Ja Morant are both questionable for the second half of the Grizzlies' current back-to-back set due to what appears to be general soreness. If the veteran big man takes a seat Monday, Brandon Clarke, Santi Aldama and Xavier Tillman would all be candidates for increased roles.

Posts big double-double in loss Adams closed with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-9 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes during Friday's 122-121 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Adams was a beast on the boards Friday, tallying a game-high 17 rebounds, eight of which came on the offensive glass. The big man also tied a season high with 16 points, with his only weak point being another poor performance from the charity stripe. Adams ranks fourth in the NBA with 11.4 boards per game, but he's outside the top 150 in nine-category fantasy leagues due to his mediocre scoring (8.6 PPG), tepid blocks production (1.1 BPG) and atrocious free-throw shooting (35.2 percent).

Pulls down 18 rebounds Adams accumulated 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 135-129 victory over San Antonio.
Impact Adams and Jaren Jackson combined for 30 rebounds, but Adams was the driving force on the glass for a Memphis team that had to grind out a tight win over a combative Spurs team. With a career-worst 33 percent mark from the free-throw line on 2.9 attempts per game, Adams has been toxic in that particular area, but he retains higher value in points formats or in category leagues in which managers are punting free-throw percentage. His 11.5 rebounds per game are the best mark of his career by a full rebound and a half.

Dominates glass in victory Adams finished Monday's 121-113 victory over San Antonio with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-11 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 28 minutes.
Impact Adams continues to provide elite rebounding numbers, grabbing 15 boards Monday. He has actually been a pillar of consistency of late, racking up multiple double-doubles while chipping in on the defensive end. Unfortunately, he was woeful from the line, shooting 3-of-11. Anyone rostering him should be fully aware of his flaws, meaning a night like this should come as no surprise.

Available Monday Adams (illness) is available for Monday's contest against San Antonio, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
Impact After missing the Grizzlies' last contest, Adams is officially available for Monday's matchup against the Spurs. The veteran center is averaging 8.0 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 26.8 minutes throughout his first 35 appearances this season. Xavier Tillman figures to return to his typical reserve role with Adams back in action.

Listed as questionable Adams (illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Spurs.
Impact Adams was sidelined for the first half of Memphis' back-to-back set Sunday due to an illness and is questionable for the second half Monday. If he's sidelined again, Xavier Tillman figures to draw another start, while Santi Aldama sees an increased workload behind Tillman and Jaren Jackson.

Won't play Sunday Adams (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jazz, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Impact An illness will cause Adams to miss his first game since Dec. 12. Brandon Clarke (hip) is also out, so Jaren Jackson, Santi Aldama, and Xavier Tillman will presumably handle the majority of the missing frontcourt minutes for Memphis on Sunday. Adams' next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Spurs.

Impact Adams hasn't missed a game since Dec. 12. Since then, he's averaged 8.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.1 minutes. If he sits out, more minutes could be in store for Xavier Tillman, especially since Brandon Clarke (hip) is out.

Another big night on glass Adams registered nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 131-107 victory over the Hornets.
Impact The veteran center just missed picking up his 11th double-double of the season, but scoring hasn't been his focus lately. Adams' 15 boards was actually his lowest total in four games and he's pulled down double-digit rebounds in seven of his last eight, averaging 8.3 points, 15.0 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks over that stretch.

Explodes for 23 rebounds Adams amassed 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 23 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 victory over the Kings.
Impact Adams' recent rebounding numbers have been unreal. Over three games, he's grabbed an eye-popping 61 rebounds, a stretch rarely seen from the veteran. He also kept his scoring up during that span, resulting in three consecutive double-doubles.

Grabs season-high 21 boards Adams had 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-6 FT), 21 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 116-101 win over the Pelicans.
Impact Adams was fantastic in the win, not only grabbing a season-high 21 rebounds but also limiting Jonas Valanciunas to just six points in 22 minutes. Despite a lack of offensive versatility, Adams continues to play a key role for the Grizzlies, especially when matched up against sizeable opposition. His fantasy flaws have him ranked outside the top 170; however, managers rostering him should be fully aware of his downfalls.

Massive rebounding effort Adams registered 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 119-106 victory over the Raptors.
Impact Adams is not known for his scoring ability, as he scored in double digits for the first time since Dec. 15 and surpassed the 10-point mark for the first time in the current month, but he continues to feast on the glass. He's pulled down at least 10 boards in five consecutive games and is averaging a robust 9.8 rebounds per contest in the current month. In fact, the veteran big man is averaging a career-best 10.5 rebounds per contest in the current campaign.
