A nightly threat to deliver incredible highlights, Ja Morant is must-see TV.
As part of an annual tradition, Morant and the Grizzlies will take the floor at Memphis' FedEx Forum on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This year, the Grizzlies play host to the Suns, who are still working to get healthy.
The trajectories of the two teams couldn't be much different — Memphis enters Monday's holiday matchup on a nine-game win streak while Phoenix has lost 11 of its last 13 games and has fallen to the bottom of the Western Conference's Play-In Tournament picture.

The Suns' recent skid directly correlates with the absence of Devin Booker, who, aside from attempting to play on Christmas, has been out since Dec. 19.
During Memphis' most recent stretch, Morant is averaging 28.9 points and 8.3 assists while shooting 53.5 percent from the field. The number of must-see highlights he's turned in? Hard to quantify.
Here's everything you need to know in order to tune in to Morant and the Grizzlies as they look to make it 10 wins in a row.
