Wells closed Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets with 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two steals across 30 minutes. Wells continues to trend in the right direction for the shorthanded Grizzlies. Through six January outings, the rookie guard is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. He'll likely remain on the streaming radar until the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back in the rotation.

Scores 14 points in loss
Wells closed Monday's 120-118 loss to the Rockets with 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two steals across 30 minutes. Wells continues to trend in the right direction for the shorthanded Grizzlies. Through six January outings, the rookie guard is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. He'll likely remain on the streaming radar until the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back in the rotation.
First career double-double in win
Wells posted 17 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 boards and an assist in 35 minutes of play during Monday's 119-104 win over the Mavericks. Although Wells struggled to score efficiently, he was able to set a career-high in rebounds and did a good job getting to the line. With Ja Morant (shoulder), Desmond Bane (ankle) and Marcus Smart (finger) all sidelined, the guard depth chart is wide open for Wells to command the ball more than he ever has thus far in his young career. However, Morant is week-to-week, Bane is day-to-day and Smart is due to be re-evaluated soon, so it's difficult to tell how long he'll continue to get this kind of volume.
Goes off for 30 points in loss
Wells contributed 30 points (11-16 FG, 8-9 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 138-133 loss to the Kings. Wells came out of nowhere to post a career-high scoring total by a wide margin. The 2024 first-round pick is loaded with potential, and absences from Ja Morant (shoulder) and Marcus Smart (finger) give hm numerous opportunities to strut his stuff. Wells' explosive total is a sign of what Memphis fans can look forward to as the rookie develops further.
Modest production Tuesday
Wells registered 11 points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 win over Phoenix. Wells scored in double digits for the third time in the past four games, continuing to provide the Grizzles with serviceable production. After coming off the bench for the first five games of the season, Wells has since been a regular member of the starting lineup. Over the past two months, he has averaged 11.6 points and 1.8 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game.
Doesn't do much in 28 minutes
Wells finished Monday's 114-110 loss to the Clippers with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes. With Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson combining to score 68 points, Wells understandably took a backseat on offense. With a low usage rate and a mild workload, he's mostly been a deep-league contributor in fantasy with averages of 9.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 10 December outings.
Strong from deep in double figures
Wells closed Sunday's 136-121 win over the Pacers with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes. Wells provided a nice spark from deep in Sunday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three while ending as one of seven Grizzlies in double figures in scoring in a winning effort. Wells has connected on at least three threes in three of his last five contests while posting a double-digit point total in seven of the last 10 games.
Posts career-high scoring mark
Wells registered 26 points (10-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 victory over Chicago. The rookie has been one of the most pleasant surprises among first-year players this season, and he delivered his best game of the campaign Saturday. Wells has performed better than expected this season and hasn't looked overmatched since being promoted to a starting role. The former Washington State standout has scored in double digits in nine of his 12 starts, and he's recorded at least 15 points seven times already.
Continues to produce as starter
Wells registered 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over the Nuggets. There's no question Wells has benefited from the injuries to Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart (illness) and Ja Morant (hip) to enjoy a more significant role in his rookie year, but the former Washington State alum is certainly taking advantage of the opportunity. Wells has started nine games in a row and is averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in that span, shooting 47.9 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from beyond the arc. Wells should remain in a starting role until the Grizzlies' backcourt is fully healthy -- Bane and Smart recently made their returns, while Morant remains week-to-week.
Hits for 16 in Friday's start
Wells contributed 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 123-118 loss to the Warriors. Making his eighth straight start, Wells remained surprisingly productive. The 2024 second-round pick has averaged 13.6 points, 3.8 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.6 assists during his stint in the Grizzlies' starting five, but his window for consistent court time is likely about to end as Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart were both in the lineup Friday, albeit coming off the bench, for the first time since Oct. 30. Once both veterans are back up to game speed, Wells should return to the second unit.
