The Memphis Grizzlies (50-30) need to win one of their last two games to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Will they get it against the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks?
The Bucks (58-22) have been resting players on their approach to the Playoffs, but they will be seeking revenge against the perpetrators of one of their biggest losses this season.
Back on Dec. 15 the Grizzlies had their biggest win of 2022-23 after a 41-point demolition of the Bucks in Memphis. Ja Morant stuffed the box score that night with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in the Grizzlies' 142-101 victory.
After returning from suspension Morant spent two games coming off the bench, but has since resumed his role in the starting lineup.
Since Morant returned to the starting five, the Grizzlies have struggled for consistency going 3-2, while Morant himself has been in and out of the lineup with left hip soreness.
Through 60 games this season, Morant is averaging 26.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 8.1 assists while shooting 46.5 percent from the field.
