NBA 2021-22 will see LAC facing off against Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, 09 January 2022 at 02:00 AM IST
Ja Morants return from injury has been a big boost for the team, as they have won seven games in a row coming into this clash. They have beaten the top teams in the league, and are slowly looking like a solid unit in the West.
The Grizzlies are a confident team, and have not shied away from any hurdles in front of them. Against the Clippers, the team will hope to continue their brilliant form and grab another win to maintain their impressive record this season.

The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in the NBA in the last few weeks. Their stellar seven-game winning streak has helped them grab a lot of attention.
Memphis are currently fourth in the West, and hold a 26-14 record on the season. They proved their brilliance in the absence of Ja Morant, winning ten of 12 games in his absence.
However, since his return, the team has been showing a lot more efficiency and making a lot of noise in the league. They will hope to maintain that consistency till the end of the season as they look to make the playoffs.
Ja Morant has been in blistering form since making his return from injury. His recent performances have helped him make a way into the MVP conversation. However, it will take a lot more brilliance from him if he wants to get the prestigious award.
The 22-year-old has helped the team become of the best in the West. Against the Clippers, the Grizzlies will need a brilliant performance from Morant, who is in the running to make his first All-Star appearance.
22 points | 8 reb | 6 assists through 3rd quarters for @JaMorant

The LA Clippers have not had a great campaign so far. They are placed eighth in the West, and hold a 19-20 record on the season. They have lost three of their last four games, which has seen them slip down the table.
Marcus Morris Sr. has done a great job in the absence of Paul George, but he hasnt got enough support from the others. The team has lost both of its games against the Grizzlies this season.
They will be keen to seek revenge in this game and get the better of the Grizzlies at home. However, for that to happen, they will need all of their players to be at their best, as the Grizzlies are a tough team to break down.

Marcus Morris Sr. has led the Clippers extremely well in the absence of PG13. The veteran player has amped up his scoring, and is putting in a lot of work in the last few games.
He is averaging 15.8 PPG in 18 appearances. Going into this game against the Grizzlies, the Clippers will once again need the best of Morris Sr., as he could be key for them to get to a victory on Saturday.
