I hope you all find a partner that loves you as much as Willie Green and David Griffin love Garrett Temple and Tomas Satoransky – 8:03 PM

The @Memphis Grizzlies look to get back on track after Saturday’s demoralizing loss in Minnesota. Tonight is another tough task against the Jazz. Checking in with the latest from Salt Lake City as we close in on tip-off:

I asked Coach Jenkins about whether or not the film confirmed that the team’s effort wasn’t there Saturday against Minnesota. He said that while there were individuals that showed growth in specific areas of focus, overall his belief that the team didn’t compete was confirmed. – 7:43 PM

Asked about the players-only meeting the Spurs had after the Minnesota game, Pop said, “Well, that’s just dandy. I hope they had a good talk.” – 7:13 PM

Wolves in New Orleans to face the Pelicans. Whenever they go back, I think about the vampires in Wolves lore that came when Minneapolis almost lost them. For real. theathletic.com/1939924/2020/0…7:06 PM

My @PrizePicks for Wolves-Pels
– KAT over 21.5 pts (could be 40+)
Had 57 in two Pels games. JV gets physical but can’t really guard him
– DLo under 19.5 pts
– Ant over 5 rebs
vs. JV is a choose-to-rebound game
– Valanciunas over 11.5 rebs

Willie Green says Devonte Graham will be a game-time decision tonight with left foot soreness. Green says he’s still getting pregame treatment to see if he can go.
Graham has missed the last two games. He was listed as questionable heading into tonight. – 6:19 PM

Knowing what we know now about him, how high would 28th pick Jordan Poole have gone in the 2019 NBA Draft? Definitely top 10, and possibly top 5. Morant’s a star, Herro and Garrison are terrific and Zion Williamson is a game-changer when he isn’t hurt. After that, Poole’s close. – 5:00 PM
