However, the Grizzlies are currently sitting on a 2-0 season series advantage on the Timberwolves. With this being the third and final meeting of the regular season between the two teams, the Grizzlies will hold the tiebreaker regardless of the outcome, assuming that they end with the same record at the end of the season.

Memphis took the last game by a final score of 108-106, and have only beaten Minnesota by a combined margin of four points. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the way for the Grizzlies, totaling 24 points, 11, rebounds, and 2 blocks on 50% field goal shooting.

The Grizzlies are entering this game with three players listed on their injury report: Brandon Clarke, Zyon Pullin, and Jaylen Wells.

Ja Morant is AVAILABLE.
