The Rockets-Grizzlies matinee tips at 2:30 p.m. CDT and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.
The Grizzlies (48-22), who hold the NBA’s second-best record, should be motivated and out for revenge against the rebuilding Rockets (17-53) after losing exactly two weeks ago in the same building. However, if there’s a silver lining for Houston, it’s that All-Star guard and MVP candidate Ja Morant will not play due to knee soreness.
The Rockets are likely to be quite motivated, themselves, after a late collapse Friday versus Indiana that rookie guard Jalen Green said “hurt a lot.” Green (20 points, 6 assists) and big man Christian Wood (32 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks) were the statistical standouts, and each also had huge games two weeks ago in Houston’s upset over Memphis.
There are many ways to measure the Rockets’ progression of their young core beyond the win and loss column.
Today, I asked Christian Wood this question and he placed a hefty emphasis on the progression he has seen from Jalen Green. #Rockets pic.twitter.com/YT26z30Sah
