On Wednesday, March 23rd, the Brooklyn Nets and Memphis Grizzlies play for the second and final time this season. Memphis won the initial meeting 118-104 on January 3rd at Barclays.
Brooklyn played Monday defeating the Jazz 114-106 while the Grizzlies defeated the Rockets 122-98 on Sunday.
Brooklyn Nets
The last time these teams met Ja Morant put on a show featuring high-flying dunks and dropped 36 points, eight assists, and six rebounds in 33 minutes of action.
Kyrie Irving obviously wasn’t playing that night because the game was at Barclays but both Kevin Durant and James Harden were in the lineup and the Nets still looked outmatched by the young Grizz.
Both KD and Irving have been lighting up the opposition over the past few games and are desperate to win in order to get out of the play-in.
While every team would prefer to avoid the play-in tournament, in truth, they likely want to steer clear of having to play Toronto since that would mean Irving couldn’t suit up for either the first or second game of the play-in.
Having Durant on your team almost guarantees the Nets would win at least one of those games but what if he tweaked his ankle and wasn’t able to play? When it’s a one-game elimination those aren’t chances you want to take and not have your secondary scorer available either.
It also sounds unlikely Ben Simmons will play this year although the Nets remain hopeful. Last week he received an epidural for a herniated disc in his back. Working back from a procedure like that and getting in game shape would logically take some time.
Andre Drummond (illness) is probable, Seth Curry (ankle) is questionable, while Goran Dragic (knee) was downgraded to out Wednesday. LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) and Simmons (back) are out indefinitely. Joe Harris (ankle) is lost for the season.
Memphis Grizzlies
Earlier this season Ja Morant made a plea during an interview for the NBA brass and media to pay more attention to his high-flying club. He then went on to make nightly highlight reels with jaw-dropping dunks, blocks, and dimes.
He became the must-watch star of the season so much so that ESPN is in town with a whole crew to cover this game. The only problem is Morant won’t be playing as he deals with a sore knee.
That’s not to suggest the Nets can’t win as they’ve proven copious times this season but because the Nets are on the road it means both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will be in the lineup.
Moreover, there is a score to settle because the Grizzlies marched into Barclays and quite frankly made the Nets look slow and like a far inferior squad.
Killian Tillie (knee) is questionable while Morant (knee) was downgraded to out Wednesday versus the Nets.

Free Brooklyn Nets vs. Memphis Grizzlies NBA Prediction:
With ESPN in town no doubt Ja Morant wishes he was playing but the bigger picture is having him healthy for the postseason. Given his absence and with no disrespect to the Grizzlies defense I think the combo of KD and Irving will be too much to overcome.
