Tallies season-high 22 points Wells finished Monday's 125-115 loss to the Nuggets with 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Impact Wells finally found his offensive groove, scoring a season-high 22 points. Prior to Monday, he had scored more than 15 points only once in the previous 11 games, continuing his slow start to the season. There is no reason to overreact to this performance, but he is worth keeping an eye on, given that Memphis is dealing with multiple injuries to its backcourt.

Scores nine in loss Wells had nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Wells has been inconsistent offensively, which is not ideal for Memphis considering he will be asked to carry a heavier workload with Ja Morant (calf) sidelined for a couple weeks. In 15 games this season, Wells is averaging 9.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 sasists, 0.7 steals and 1.5 threes.

Tallies season-high 18 points Wells had 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Wells scored a season-high 18 points, a welcome sight after what has been an underwhelming start to the season. Despite starting all 12 games, Wells is averaging just 10.0 points and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game. This puts him well outside the top 200 in standard nine-category formats, making him nothing more than a streaming option.

Scores 12 in loss Wells closed with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 23 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The entire Memphis roster was off offensively, as they totaled 100 points Sunday and Cedric Coward led the way off the bench with only 13. Despite the lack of production, Wells had an efficient night, shooting 50 percent from the field and from beyond the arc, despite averaging a meager 35.2 percent from the field and 25.9 percent from three on the season. Wells will need a few more shooting performances like his on Sunday to get his efficiency back to par.

Scores season-high 16 in loss Wells delivered 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding seven rebounds in 27 minutes during Friday's 117-112 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The second-year forward tied Jock Landale for the Grizzlies scoring lead on the night, with Wells' points and boards both being season highs. The 2024 second-round pick has started six straight games to begin the season while Memphis waits for Brandon Clarke (knee) to get healthy, but Wells hasn't done a whole lot yet with the opportunity, averaging 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 assists in 26.8 minutes a contest -- numbers nearly identical to his rookie production.

Struggles from 3 in win Wells accumulated five points (2-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 27 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 win over the Pacers.

Impact Wells, who shot 7-for-15 from 3-point range over the first two games, missed all seven of his tries from deep on Saturday. He's scored 14 combined points in his last two outings after putting up 14 with four assists and a steal in Memphis' season opener, and the second-year wing will try to bounce back against the Warriors on Monday night.

Starts Year 2 strong Wells racked up 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Wells is far from a flashy player, but he gets the job done. The 2024 second-round pick started 74 of 79 regular-season games as a rookie last season, averaging 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.6 steals in 25.9 minutes. If Wells can increase his playmaking and defensive stats, he could be in store for a strong second season in the NBA.

Scores 21 points in blowout win Wells contributed 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Friday's 141-125 blowout preseason win over the Heat.

Impact Wells should open the year as a starter in Memphis and he'll look to build off a rookie season in which he put up 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 triples per contest. He could be worth a late-round pick in deep leagues on draft day.

Drops team-high 21 points Wells finished with 21 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three assists and one rebound in 24 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Celtics.

Impact The Grizzlies already look like a shell of what is possible this season, with multiple injured players already on the sideline. Coming off an impressive rookie season, Wells is likely going to be tasked with doing a lot of the heavy lifting on the offensive end to start the season, with his performance Wednesday a good indication of what he is capable of. Look for him to be a reliable source of points and threes, especially early in the season. Once the roster is healthy, his role could regress slightly, although he figures to be a starter all season.
