The Grizzlies most recently lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder (on the road) by a score of 125-104.

They are the fifth seed with a 44-29 record in 73 games.

At home, the Grizzlies have been excellent, going 25-11 in 36 games played in Memphis.

Via Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet: "JJ Redick was asked about opposing players going against the Lakers, with the expectation that Morant returns tonight. Earlier this season Redick had his analytics group look into it, finding that 86% of opposing team’s players have been available, which was No. 1 in the NBA."
