Memphis Grizzlies
As of this writing late Saturday night, Ja Morant is listed as questionable for this one. He’s currently battling a left ankle injury, so keep an eye on his status before putting your money down on this one.
In case that wasn’t bad enough, Desmond Bane is out listed as doubtful with toe soreness. Ziaire Williams is also expected to be out another 4-6 weeks, and Jaren Jackson Jr., who hasn’t yet made his season debut, is out.
The Grizzlies so far this season average 116.5 points per game. That number puts the team in the No. 4 spot in the Association.
Looking at the advanced stats, Memphis scores 112.2 points per 100 possessions—a number that slots the team in at 4th for Offensive Efficiency, a tie with the uprising Cleveland Cavaliers.
Defensively, the Grizzlies are giving up 114.3 points per contest. So far in 2022-23, that number is good enough for No. 20.
In terms of Defensive Efficiency, this group allows 110.7 points per 100 possessions. Across 30 teams, they rank 22nd in that category.
Washington Wizards
Although Beal was one considered possible to return on Sunday, after previously being cleared from health and safety protocols, he appears to be out. That news is current as of this writing late Saturday night.
Taj Gibson, at this point, is day-to-day.
The Wizards on the year are scoring 107.5 points per game and 107.5 points per 100 possessions. Those numbers slot them in at 29th and 23rd, respectively—the latter placing them in a tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder; the former placing them ahead of only the Clippers, who are in dead last by a wide margin.

Free Memphis Grizzlies vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
Bradley Beal was almost back. But the good news, if you’re Washington, is that the Grizzlies are far more hampered down by injuries at this point.
If Memphis really is without Ja Morant and Desmond Bane on Sunday, the Grizzlies will struggle against the short-handed Wizards.
ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, according to ESPN Analytics, has Memphis favored 61.2% to 38.8%.
I’m not buying it. Not figuratively; not literally.
Memphis should prove by the end of the year to be the better team, but in this one? Not so much.
It’s not about the Wizards knocking out Memphis early on Sunday. It’s about taking the blows and collecting the points until the clock strikes zero.
That’ll be the Wizards’ game in this one.
