Deemed questionable Friday Adams is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact If Adams is unable to play in Friday's game, Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman are in line for extended frontcourt minutes. Adams' next opportunity to play will be Sunday's matchup with the Knicks if he can't go against New Orleans.

Massive night on boards Adams totaled five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 FT), 16 rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Kings.

Impact Adams turned in his best performance on the glass since Nov. 9 against the Spurs. He's registered 16 or more rebounds in three contests so far this season and is now averaging 10.9 rebounds to go along with 6.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.0 block over 17 appearances.

Early foul trouble limits minutes Adams closed with two points (1-2 FG, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Adams got into foul trouble early in this one, picking up three quick fouls to limit his playing time to a season-low 13 minutes. However, Adams was still efficient on the glass when on the floor. That area and his field-goal percentage are the primary categories that make him fantasy relevant. However, his 29.0 percent conversion rate from the free-throw line may start to weigh his fantasy value down even more than his struggles in that category have in the past.

Ruled out Monday Adams (ankle) is inactive for Monday's contest against the Celtics.

Impact The veteran center will officially miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury. Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman both figure to see additional usage with Adams on the sidelines. Adams' next chance to return comes Wednesday in San Antonio.

Questionable Monday Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Celtics.

Impact Adams rolled his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game but was able to return midway through the fourth after spending some time in the locker room and seemed confident he would suit up Monday, saying "we'll make it work" in Sunday's post-game presser. Adams has averaged 6.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 25.9 minutes per game so far this season.

Suffers ankle injury Sunday Adams suffered a right ankle injury during Sunday's 103-97 win over the Wizards, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Adams rolled his right ankle on Kristaps Porzingis's foot in the third quarter and limped to the locker room with the Grizzlies up 15 points. However, with the Australian big man sidelined, Memphis lost its lead and trailed by two when Adams re-entered the game halfway through the fourth quarter. Adams finished the contest with four points and 10 rebounds in 22 minutes, showing little signs of limited mobility, per Cole. When asked about his ankle, Adams said, "it's still there, we'll make it work." Barring a setback, it appears like the ankle injury won't stop Adams from suiting up Monday, but fantasy managers are still encouraged to monitor his status before locking him into lineups.

Blows up in thumping win Adams had 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes during Friday's 130-99 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Adams basically did whatever he wanted against a completely outmatched Hornets team, dominating on both ends of the floor. This was easily his best performance of the season, coming against a team who are likely to afford the same kind of opportunities to opposing teams all season. This is obviously a stellar line but moving forward, Adams still presents as more of a streamer for those in need of boards and blocks.

Records double-double in win Adams recorded 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 win over Portland.

Impact Adams posted a nice all-around line in the victory, supplementing his points-rebounds double-double with a pair of blocks and a season-high five assists. The big man has never been a dominant shot-blocker, but he's swatted at least one shot in all but one of his eight contests this season and is on pace for a career-best 1.5 blocks per contest. Adams is also averaging 6.3 points, 10.1 boards and 2.4 dimes.
