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.

In an upbeat home spot at Smoothie King Center featuring a 230.5 game total, he offers strong multi-category upside in the third matchup of New Orleans' four-game week.
