Memphis Grizzlies
While Ja Morant is the clear leader of the Grizzlies they have a strong starting group featuring a young quartet, Steven Adams to center them, plus a deep bench.
Morant averages 26.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.1 steals while attempting 20.6 field goals per game, 5.0 perimeter shots, and 8.6 free throws shooting 45.3%, 33.9%, and 73.4% respectively.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is averaging 15.9 points, 6.1 rebounds (2.0 offensive), and 3.2 blocks per game while Desmond Bane averages 21.8 points, shooting 38.8% from deep on 7.9 attempts.
While most tap Jackson as the best defender, Dillon Brooks takes on the toughest defensive guard and wing assignments and chips in as the third or fourth scoring option currently averaging 17.2 points.
Offensively, the Grizzlies score 115.4 points per game ranking ninth overall. Memphis shoots 46.6% from the field ranking 20th, and 34.2% from the perimeter ranking 22nd.
Since Jaren Jackson Jr. has returned the Grizzlies have made huge strides defensively owning the best opponent field goal percentage of 44.3%. They rank eighth for opponents scoring 111.1 points and 14th for opponent perimeter percentage 35.9%.
Desmond Bane (toe) is probable, Santi Aldama (ankle) and Ziaire Williams (knee) are questionable while Brandon Clarke (hip) was downgraded to out. Danny Green (knee) is out indefinitely.
Charlotte Hornets
This is the final game of a four-game home stand with the Hornets set to play 13 of their next 18 matches on the road. Despite their record, the Hornets have been more competitive recently registering three wins in the last eight games and pushed teams in clutch time.
Although he’s only appeared in 13 games LaMelo Ball is making an impact averaging 23.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per game shooting 37.4% from deep on 11.3 attempts.

Free Memphis Grizzlies vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
This match has the potential to be a trap game for the Grizzlies who are 8-10 on the road. After two impressive wins on their home court versus the Pelicans and Kings Ja Morant said in his walk-off interview he had ONE New Year’s resolution — consistency.
Of course, the young star could be referring to his own effort but I suspect he meant for the team overall and that would include applying the winning ways they exude at home on the road.
