The Grizzlies tackle this match after an expected 24-point victory (124-100) against the Charlotte Hornets, led by a JA MORANT on fire with 28 points. It was their third consecutive victory, a relief after a difficult series of 1 victory in 8 games.
The return of Morant is crucial, as is the performances of Zach Edey, which runs at 17.2 rebounds in the last 4 games. Defensively, Memphis remains fragile, but the attack regains appearance. Having more in postseason is a huge asset, he who excels in decisive moments.
For their part, the Timberwolves have just suffered a heartbreaking defeat against the Bucks (103-110), after having let a 24-point lead spin in the last quarter. This defeat costs them a 6th affiliate victory.
Each setback is now critical in the fierce struggle to avoid the play-in between 3rd and 8th place. The Wolves have displayed a 13-4 assessment since March, leaving to hope for a beautiful course in playoffs, even if this defeat could mark a stop.
