Key Storylines
The outcome of this contest is going to depend heavily on injuries and roster availability. Memphis will be without center Zach Edey, who is sidelined for at least four weeks with a left ankle stress reaction, robbing them of a productive inside presence and rebounding force. Several other Grizzlies, including Ty Jerome, John Konchar, and Javon Small, are also listed as out or doubtful.
Ja Morant recently returned from a calf strain and scored 21 points in a loss to the Utah Jazz. Cedric Coward and Cam Spencer have also contributed against the Clippers in their last meeting and have seen their roles in the Memphis offense increase with all of the injuries surrounding the team.
Los Angeles enters the game dealing with its own injury issues. Bradley Beal is out for the season, while James Harden and Nicolas Batum are listed as questionable with a calf contusion and illness, respectively. Derrick Jones Jr. remains sidelined as well, reducing the Clippers’ depth. The Clippers have struggled to string wins together this season and they will try to snap a three-game losing streak here.
