This NBA matchup pits the injury-riddled Washington Wizards against the improving Memphis Grizzlies. The Wizards, with a 6-23 record, languish near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and have struggled at home, with a 3-10 record. Despite recently defeating the Memphis Grizzlies to end a losing streak, they will be without key players Kispert and Whitmore. Additionally, the availability of players like George and Branham is uncertain. The Wizards will rely on McCollum (averaging 18.7 points) and Sarr (averaging 18.1 points and 8.3 rebounds) as their primary offensive weapons. They also rank fourth in the league with 5.7 blocks per game. The Memphis Grizzlies, holding a 15-16 record, currently sit ninth in the Western Conference. They've shown resilience with a 6-4 record in their last 10 games, but face a significant injury crisis, with seven rotation players sidelined. They will depend on Jackson (averaging 18 points) and Aldama to carry the load.
