Outlook Zach Edey

Zach Edey vs Kings — Favorable Interior Matchup at Home

Zach Edey enters Saturday’s home matchup against Sacramento healthy and locked into Memphis’ starting center role. Through four games this season, the second-year big man has anchored the interior with 7.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks across 20.3 minutes per contest. Fantasy managers have maintained strong confidence, keeping his roster rate at 84% with a 70% start mark.

Tonight, our models project Edey for 28.7 fantasy points, highlighted by 11.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 24.5 minutes. The undefeated Grizzlies host the winless Kings at FedExForum in a matchup featuring a high 230.5-point total. This contest also marks the final outing of Memphis' three-game weekly slate.

Outlook Anthony Black

Anthony Black vs. Celtics — Expanded Role Fuels Strong Playmaking Outlook

Black continues to flourish in Orlando's starting backcourt with Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs sidelined. Fresh off a 17-point, 10-assist double-double on Friday, the third-year guard has seen his fantasy roster rate surge to 84% on the back of early-season averages of 14.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.7 triples per game.

For tonight's home matchup against Boston at Kia Center, our models project Black for 27 minutes, 12 points, and 24.3 fantasy points. Facing a 6.5-point spread with a 224.5 over/under, Black will need to sustain his offensive assertiveness against a stingy Celtics perimeter defense. Looking ahead, next week's volume features three games, cementing his lineup reliability while Orlando's core heals.
