Kawhi Leonard did not play in the first meeting between these two teams. The Clippers still managed to win a close game. Leonard could still potentially sit out this game.
The Clippers have back to back games this weekend and it is likely they will sit Leonard in one of these games. The Grizzlies’ only chance to win this game is if Leonard sits out this game. The Grizzlies came within two points in their last encounter without Leonard.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers have finally won back to back games since December 13th. Their win against the Pistons on January 2nd was the first back to back to win since their last win streak that started on December the 8th.

Leonard and his supporting cast will want to build on this win streak. Their next few games are this one against the Grizzlies, the New York Knicks, and the Golden State Warriors. These games are winnable games with or without Leonard.
The Clippers, however, have a subpar record without Leonard. They are still yet to figure out how to win without him. Even though the record of the Grizzlies, Knicks, and Warriors are way below .500 the Clippers have blown games against lesser opponents.
This season the Clippers have thrown games against the inconsistent Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans. That being said the young Grizzlies are inexperienced and inconsistent. The Clippers’ tenacious defense should overwhelm them and outrebound them on the boards.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies are going through growing pains. Speaking about not putting together back to back wins, the Grizzlies haven’t done that since December 16th against Miami.
Jay Morant’s growth has been steady and it looks promising. He is forming a great backcourt partnership with Dillion Brooks. Along with Jaren Jackson Jr. in the frontcourt, the Grizzlies have a solid young team to build upon.
In this present moment however they are finding it hard to match up to better teams. Even though the Grizzlies do well for a young team in sharing the ball, they are struggling to control the pace of games.
This is due to the inexperience and mental focus in the 4th quarter of their young core. Morant has at times been great at managing games but when he goes against more experienced guards in the league, he disappears.
Against the Clippers, he will have to be at the top of his game because he will be up against the tenacious Patrick Beverly and the crafty Lou Williams. Even if Leonard doesn’t suit up against the Grizzlies, this young team does not match up well against them. Their defense is in shambles and doesn’t have an identity.
- The total has gone OVER in 5 of Memphis’ last 6 games.
- Memphis are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against LA Clippers.
- Memphis are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games against LA Clippers.

Free Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Clippers NBA Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers should win this game with or without Kawhi Leonard. Jay Morant has had troubles against veteran guards. Patrick Beverly will cause him a lot of problems offensively with full court pressure and tenacious man defense.
