Entering starting five Hendricks is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Jazz on Friday.

Impact Hendricks will make his seventh start of the season Friday (and first as a member of the Grizzlies) against his old team, the Jazz. As a starter this season, Hendricks has averaged 5.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists over 19.9 minutes per game.

Double-doubles in loss Hendricks closed Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors with 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 25 minutes.

Impact Hendricks had arguably his best game of the season, recording his first double-double. After barely being in the rotation in Utah, Hendricks has a chance to turn things around, playing for a Memphis team that clearly wants to prioritize its future. With a lack of frontcourt options, Hendricks should at least be able to see close to 24 minutes per night moving forward, which puts him on the radar, at least in slightly deeper formats.

Impact Hendricks is a young forward with upside that the Grizzlies will now look forward to developing as they embark on a full rebuild. Hendricks was used sparingly by the Jazz as a reserve stuck behind Lauri Markkanen. Across 33 games, he averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest. With Memphis' limited frontcourt depth, Hendricks is immediately on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Rare appearance Friday Hendricks finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Friday's 109-99 loss to the Nets.

Impact Hendricks moved back into the rotation, taking to the court for just the second time in the past six games. After a relatively strong preseason, Hendricks has tumbled down the rotation, to the point where he is not touching the floor for multiple games at a time. While he could have some limited value down the stretch, for now, Hendricks holds no value in redraft formats.

Reverting back to second unit Hendricks is not part of the starting lineup for Monday's game against Cleveland, per Spencer Davies of SI.com.

Impact As expected, the returning Lauri Markkanen is replacing Hendricks in the first five Monday. Hendricks has averaged 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest across 21 games off the bench this year.

Starting sans Markkanen Hendricks will start against the Hornets on Saturday.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (rest) sitting out Saturday's contest, Hendricks will enter the starting five. In five starts so far this season, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Moving back to bench Hendricks is not starting against the Warriors on Saturday.

Impact Hendricks is back on the bench due to the return of Kevin Love to the starting lineup. The third-year forward is averaging 5.8 points and 2.9 boards across 14.5 minutes per game when coming off the bench this season.

Impact The 22-year-old forward will get the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 5, pushing Svi Mykhailiuk to the bench. In three starts so far this season, Hendricks has averaged 5.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Pops for season-high 21 Hendricks finished with 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact The third-year forward saw his biggest workload of the season with both Lauri Markkanen (groin) and Jusuf Kurkic (rest) both missing from the Utah frontcourt, and Hendricks turned the opportunity into a new season scoring high. After losing his spot in the rotation in early November, Hendricks is fighting to regain it, and over his last six appearances he's averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 boards, 1.8 threes, 0.7 assists and 0.7 steals in just 19.5 minutes while shooting 68.8 percent from the floor and 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc.

Season of woe continues Hendricks contributed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over 13 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Hendricks continues to play a minimal role, having exceeded 20 minutes only twice in the past 22 games. Seen as a decent late-round flier coming into the season, Hendricks quickly found himself on the waiver wire in just about every redraft format. Through 17 appearances, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest.

Recalled to NBA Hendricks has been recalled from the G League back to the Utah Jazz on Monday.

Impact Hendricks has not had a consistent role within Utah's rotation, but he has shown flashes of potential, such as his 20-point performance Dec. 7 against Oklahoma City. In 13 games this season, Hendricks averages 5.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks across 14.6 minutes.

Impact Hendricks made a strong impression during Sunday's loss to the Thunder, finishing with 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes off the bench. However, the Jazz are off until Friday, so Hendricks will join Walter Clayton and Cody Williams for what is likely to be a short stint in Salt Lake City.
