On Thursday night, the Memphis Grizzlies will host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

For the game, they will have their best player in the starting lineup, as Ja Morant has been upgraded to available.

Via Damichael Cole of Commercial Appeal: "Ja Morant is good to go today."

Morant had previously been listed as questionable.

The former All-Star is averaging 22.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 44.9% from the field and 31.6% from the three-point range in 16 games.

After only appearing in nine games last season, Morant has looked good in his return to action.

Via ClutchPoints: "Ja Morant capped off his return from a 25-game suspension with this game-winning buzzer-beater to beat the Pelicans one year ago today

The Grizzlies star dropped 34 points to complete the 24-point comeback!"

The Grizzlies struggled in a big way without Morant last season.

However, they are now among the best teams in the NBA with an 18-9 record in 27 games.

Despite winning eight of their last ten, the Grizzlies most recently lost to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 116-110 (on the road).

Via Michael Wallace: "Jenkins indicates Ja Morant (back) should be “good to go” tonight vs Warriors, while Marcus Smart (shoulder) is day-to-day.

Smart banged his shoulder in game last week at Lakers."

After their showdown with Golden State, the Grizzlies will travel to Georgia to play Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.
