Posts team-high 23 points in loss
Wells recorded 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and two assists in 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
Wells took on an enhanced role with Ja Morant (calf) out of the lineup, and early struggles from Memphis' frontcourt also boosted his numbers. Wells' 23 points marked his second-highest scoring total of the season. The second-year pro has been a consistent presence, logging perfect attendance and starting all of the team's 35 games thus far.

Questionable to face LAL
Wells (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
Wells is in danger of missing his first game of the season due to left hamstring soreness. If the second-year swingman is ultimately ruled out, Cam Spencer and GG Jackson are candidates for increased playing time. Over his last five games, Wells has averaged 12.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.4 minutes per tilt.
