Ja Morant (21.2 ppg) is getting closer to returning for the Grizzlies, but it appears that his shoulder sprain will keep him out for at least one more game tonight. Desmond Bane (16.7 ppg) is questionable with a sprained ankle, while reserves Marcus Smart (9.2 ppg) and Santi Aldama (13.0 ppg) are also on the mend.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has a total of eight games on the schedule, including a nationally televised game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Orlando Magic at 7:00 p.m. ET. We will avoid that game and won’t make a pick for the Charlotte Hornets and Los Angeles Lakers 10:30 p.
