Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Tallies four defensive stoppers
Rotowire
Clarke finished Friday's 132-124 victory over the Pelicans with three points (0-1 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 19 minutes.
Clarke continued his role off the bench, with Zach Edey now locked in as the starting center. Although he was nearly non-existent when it came to scoring the basketball, Clarke managed to record four defensive stats. He could struggle to play more than 20 minutes per game moving forward, which could limit his production, especially on the offensive end of the floor.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Solid inside during victory
Rotowire
Clarke notched 18 points (9-11 FG), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 win over the Celtics.
While Clarke may be keeping the seat warm until Zach Edey's (ankle) return, the veteran big man has been a steady presence for Memphis since joining the starting lineup. Over 14 starts, he's averaged 8.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Starting role continues
Rotowire
Clarke provided eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Mavericks.
Clarke continues to start for the Grizzlies but has struggled to deliver what might be considered adequate production. Since moving into the starting lineup, Clarke has scored double-digits only four times, recording six total blocks. Zach Edey has a chance to return from his ankle injury this week, a move that would likely see Clarke move back to the bench.

Rotowire
Clarke logged 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 123-98 victory over Portland.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Questionable to play Friday
Rotowire
Clarke (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Clarke is in danger of missing a second straight game due to this injury, and it comes as a bad time for the big man, who was coming off back-to-back starts before missing Wednesday's defeat against the Lakers. Clarke hasn't reached the 20-minute plateau in his last six outings, however, so even if he's available, his fantasy upside will be somewhat limited.

Clarke popped up on the injury report before Wednesday's contest due to toe soreness, and he'll wind up watching the game in street clothes. In his stead, Zach Edey and Jay Huff are likely to see an uptick in minutes. Clarke's next chance to play will come Friday at Golden State.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Struggles again Saturday
Rotowire
Clarke closed Saturday's 124-107 win over the 76ers with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 13 minutes.
Clarke has been a non-factor thus far this season, typically used sparingly off the bench as a backup to both Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey. Clarke has scored double-digits only once, failing to play more than 20 minutes in any of the seven games. At this point, he would need an injury ahead of him to afford him any sort of significant opportunity.

Rotowire
Clarke finished Saturday's 124-111 victory over the Magic with five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 18 minutes.
The 28-year-old tied Marcus Smart, Desmond Bane and Scotty Pippen for the team high in steals while racking up two across 18 minutes. Clarke has played double-digit minutes off the bench every game thus far, though he shouldn't be considered an option in fantasy formats unless injury concerns arise for the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Available Saturday
Rotowire
Clarke (knee) is available for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Bulls, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.
Clarke was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets due to knee soreness; however, this was likely only a precautionary measure. The 28-year-old was limited to only six regular-season appearances last season, during which he sustained an Achilles injury.
