Memphis, sitting at 37-19, has relied heavily on Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane to carry the offensive load. Jackson leads the team with 22.8 points per game, while Bane’s perimeter shooting has been a consistent threat. However, the Grizzlies’ success ultimately hinges on Ja Morant’s ability to return to his explosive, playmaking self.
On the Cavaliers’ side, Darius Garland (hip) and Jarrett Allen (hand) are both listed as questionable. Garland’s playmaking and Allen’s dominance in the paint have been crucial for Cleveland, who currently hold the best record in the Eastern Conference at 46-10. Their availability could tilt the scales in what promises to be a tightly contested matchup.
