Game Preview

The Memphis Grizzlies have plenty of ground to cover in their climb back into the playoff race, but Ja Morant’s return has made everything seem possible again.

Morant and the Grizzlies will look to build on their best win of the season when they face the visiting Indiana Pacers on Thursday night.

Memphis trailed by as many as 24 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday before charging back for a 115-113 win. Morant finished with 34 points in his season debut and hit a game-winning shot at the buzzer to help the Grizzlies snap a five-game losing streak.
