Memphis Grizzlies will host Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, 8 PM ET.
After a cracking In-Season Tournament final, NBA action is back on Thursday night with 13 matchups. The most exciting matchup of the day is between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors.
Both sides locked horns last month when the Warriors squeezed past the Grizzlies 123-118. Jaren Jackson Jr.’s 32 points and a fourth-quarter comeback couldn’t help Memphis.
Since the loss on the road, Grizzlies are 11-3 through 14 games and are entering into the fixture with a seven-game home streak. However, they are coming off a 116-110 loss to Lakers. Memphis posted a 18-9 record and take second spot in the West.
On the flip note, Golden State Warriors’ recent slump has raised questions on Steve Kerr. Warriors were 10-2 after beating Memphis on Nov. 15. They have seen a huge drop in their performance. Warriors are 4-9 through last 13 games. Steph Curry & Co. have also dropped their last four games on the road.

Memphis Grizzlies would be delighted with the return of Zach Edey who missed 12 games with an ankle injury. Jay Huff and Marcus Smart’s injury status has also been upgraded to probable.
Memphis have listed two players on the injury report. Vince Williams (ankle) and Gregory Jackson (foot) are sidelined.
Meanwhile, the Warriors have listed one player as questionable. Moses Moody missed training this week and is recovering from a knee injury.
It will be a new roaster for Golden State going into the Memphis trip. Dennis Schroder, who was traded from Brooklyn Nets, is likely to make debut in this game. The German has started the training with the team.
