The Memphis Grizzlies are taking on the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, and LeBron James is listed on the injury report as questionable with a left calf contusion. If James cannot go, the Lakers will have to rely more on their supporting cast to get this win against a Grizzlies team that has the worst record in the Western Conference.

Memphis picked up their second win of the season on Sunday, defeating the LA Clippers in Los Angeles. Staying in the city for this matchup vs. the Lakers, the Grizzlies have had a couple of days in Southern California. 

It was a solid showing from Memphis on Sunday vs. the Clippers, handing LA their 5th-straight loss, and 4th-straight with James Harden. There were some positive signs in that game that the Grizzlies will look to build on vs. the Lakers.

Memphis and Los Angeles of course faced off in last year's opening round of the playoffs, with the Lakers sending the Grizzlies home in six games. Both teams have made some roster moves since then, with the Grizzles of course no longer having Dillon Brooks, and the Lakers bringing in some different pieces. That said, it will be interesting to see if there is any added intensity for this game, considering these two teams just played a hard fought playoff series not that long ago.
