The Memphis Grizzlies are significantly stronger than the New Orleans Pelicans. The eventual return of Morant could give the Grizzlies more confidence in their abilities. Taylor Jenkins’ team has beaten the Pelicans in their last two head-to-head meetings.
Both teams are too productive. Scoring about 120 points is no problem for them at all. In their last two head-to-head encounters, the teams broke the 228.5-point mark.

The Memphis Grizzlies secured second place in the West early, so the Grizzlies can relax now. In their last two games, Taylor Jenkins’s team lost to the Denver Nuggets (109-122) and Utah Jazz (115-121).
It’s worth noting that the Grizzlies are currently playing without Ja Morant. The team leader is injured. Doctors have promised he’ll be back on the court for the showdown with the New Orleans Pelicans. That would allow him to get some practice before the playoffs.
In the game against the Jazz, Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
