Suffers jaw injury Adams has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Jazz due to a jaw injury.

Double-doubles in win Adams posted 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-3 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes during Thursday's 125-110 victory over the Kings.

Impact Adams was solid enough Thursday, notching up a somewhat empty double-double. His lack of offensive versatility in the modern game does mean his playing time is often capped, making him just a fringe 12-team asset. For those with specific team builds, he can have some added value in the traditional big man categories.

Blocks four shots in loss Saturday Adams closed Saturday's 137-96 loss to the Mavericks with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal in 22 minutes.

Impact Adams salvaged what was a terrible night for the Grizzlies by swatting a season-high four shots. It's been an indifferent start for the veteran, failing to score more than six points in any of his three games thus far. He remains a solid source of boards and defensive stats, making him a backend asset, at best. In competitive leagues, he is likely to frequent the waiver wire as an elite streaming option.
