Last season, Ingram helped lead the Pelicans to the NBA Playoffs, where they took the Phoenix Suns to six games in the first round. 

Zion Williamson did not play in a game last season, so if the Pelicans can stay healthy, their big three of Williamson, Ingram and C.J. McCollum are good enough to be a top-four seed in the Western Conference. 

As for the Grizzlies, they entered the night tied with the Portland Trail Blazers for the seventh seed in the west. 

They are 10-8 in their first 18 games.
