Outlook Zach Edey
Zach Edey vs. Thunder: Frontcourt Rebounding Floor in Home Matchup
Zach Edey is healthy and slated to start at center tonight against Oklahoma City, with his frontcourt role reinforced as primary backup Isaiah Stewart remains sidelined. Over his last six games, Edey has anchored the paint in modest playing time, averaging 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 20.2 minutes per game. While his roster rate has settled near 79%, fantasy managers continue relying on his defensive floor.
For tonight's home tilt at FedExForum against the Thunder, our models project Edey for 25.2 fantasy points and roughly 10 rebounds across 22 minutes. Facing an athletic Oklahoma City frontcourt in a game with a 223.5 over/under, he should provide dependable boards and blocks to wrap up Memphis's three-game weekly slate.

Aday Mara vs. Wizards — Interior Defensive Upside in Expanding Role
Fresh off making his first career start earlier this week, rookie Aday Mara continues to capitalize on expanded frontcourt minutes with Chet Holmgren sidelined. Though Isaiah Hartenstein is slated to start at center, Mara's fantasy trust has surged, with his ownership climbing to 53% and start rate reaching 44%. The young big man has stabilized Oklahoma City's interior defense, averaging 2.2 blocks and 6.5 rebounds over his last six games.
For tonight's matchup against Washington, our models project Mara for 25 fantasy points, highlighted by 10 points and eight rebounds across 24 minutes. With Oklahoma City favored by 11.5 points at home, game flow should support steady playing time to wrap up the Thunder's four-game week.
