The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at FedEx Forum on Monday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Pelicans (31-37), as they are coming off a hard-fought win in Charlotte on Sunday. They got out to a good start in the win with a nine-point lead after one quarter, but they lost control in the second, where they gave up 42 points and fell behind by 10, heading into halftime. They rallied back to make it a one-point game mid way through the third, but they let it slip back to a seven-point game heading into the final frame. The Pelicans came out strong again in the fourth and rallied to a one-point lead with six minutes left and kept the pressure on the rest of the way to close out the impressive road win. Eric Bledsoe led the way with 24 points, 11 assists, four rebounds and two steals. Jaxson Hayes followed up with 18 points, eight rebounds, six blocks and a steal, while Willy Hernangomez totaled nine points, 16 rebounds, two steals and a block. The Pelicans will look to keep rolling and add to their, 13-20, road record, as they face the third game of a five-game trip. Zion Williamson (thumb) will remain out, while Brandon Ingram (ankle) is listed as questionable for action on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies (34-33) are coming off a win in their most recent outing, but they are, 5-5, in their last 10 games. They will look to build some momentum and add to their, 14-18, home record, as they face the first game of a four-game home stand. Ja Morant continues to lead the team, averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds, in 32 minutes per game. Jonas Valanciunas is averaging 16.7 points and 12.5 rebounds, while Dillon Brooks is averaging 16.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The Grizzlies average a league-high 9.2 steals per game, but they could still use some improvement on the defensive end, as they are giving up an average of 112.5 points per game. On the other end, they make an average of 11.2 three-pointers per game, which is eighth fewest in the league, while they shoot an average of 35.6 percent from deep.
