Minnesota Timberwolves at Memphis Grizzlies Preview


For the second time in a week, the Timberwolves and Grizzlies will meet, this time at the FedExForum.


Can the Grizzlies build on their two straight wins over the Spurs and gain momentum, or will the Timberwolves grab their fifth consecutive road win?


The home team will look to take advantage of their opponent's fatigue.


Memphis Grizzlies Form & Team News


With two dominant victories over the San Antonio Spurs, the Grizzlies have reached a 27-15 record and climbed to third place in the Western Conference.


The second win, a 28-point blowout, was achieved without Ja Morant, who is dealing with some minor injury issues.


In his absence, the Grizzlies displayed excellent team play, with seven players finishing in double digits. Among the standout performances was Spanish forward Santi Aldama, who had one of the best games of his NBA career, scoring 29 points. Also noteworthy was Desmond Bane, who not only scored 22 points but also set a personal record with 14 assists.


Cam Spencer and Marcus Smart will be sidelined for some time due to injuries, and Ja Morant's availability remains uncertain.


Minnesota Timberwolves Form & Team News


Compared to last season, the Timberwolves have experienced a significant decline. It’s clear that the trade of Randle for Towns hasn’t worked out well for the team, but that’s far from being their only issue this season.


Currently, the Timberwolves sit in 8th place in the Western Conference with a 22-20 record. They’ve been playing inconsistently, but interestingly, they have a better record on the road, where they’re on a four-game winning streak.


In their 124-117 loss to the Cavaliers last night, Anthony Edwards contributed 28 points, but struggled with his shooting, finishing 9/22 from the field.


Donte DiVincenzo missed his second consecutive game due to a thumb injury.


Head to Head


This will be the second of three matchups between these teams during the regular season. Just a week ago, they played in Minnesota, where the Grizzlies won 127-125, with Ja Morant hitting the game-winning shot 18 seconds before the final buzzer.


Verdict

Although the status of their star player, Ja Morant, is uncertain, the Grizzlies should still be favored to win this game.

Santi Aldama could continue his strong run, as he seems to thrive in the role of the sixth man. Since returning from injury, he’s averaging 15.4 points per game over the last five contests.

For the visitors, this will be their third game in just over three days, which is an exhausting pace even by NBA standards.
