Friday, January 24th features three games on the NBA slate including the New Orleans Pelicans facing the Memphis Grizzlies for the third time this season with the Grizzlies up in the series 2-0.
Both clubs were supposed to play on Wednesday but the Pelicans game was canceled due to inclement weather while the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets 132-120.
Season Series
Last year the teams split the four-game season series while the Pelicans hold the all-time record with 44 victories in 84 matches.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Thursday, January 23rd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, January 24th.
New Orleans Pelicans
A rash of injuries caused the Pelicans to get out to a horrendous start to the season and while they languish in the bottom of the West they’ve won seven of their last 10 matches.
Moreover, with the strength of the Western Conference, it may be too late to make a run for a playoff/play-in seed, but then again, the Pels have four players averaging 20 or more points (McCollum, Ingram, Williamson, and Murphy).

Free NBA Prediction:
A winning streak will end with this match as both teams have won four games in a row.
New Orleans is a squad when fully healthy that can go on a run to close out the season but there are questions to be answered in terms of what the club intends to do with Ingram and just how many games Williamson can play.
Conversely, the Grizzlies who dealt with massive injury woes all last year have bounced back looking like the team that finished second in the West in 2022-23.
If any of Williamson, Ingram, or Jones were playing I would feel much more confident in taking the points — instead, I’m tenuously taking the points, but the Grizzlies to net the victory.
