Willie Green’s final pregame question tonight came from Clippers media, asking essentially if Jonas Valanciunas saves his outside shooting for the Clippers.
Well he just drained his first 3-point look on the night, this after not attempting a single one versus the Timberwolves. – 8:14 PM

Great start for D’Angelo Russell. Coming out firing. – 8:13 PM

Gut check game for the Wolves tonight. Grizz are on fire and I’m sure they remember that wipeout in Minnesota. Wolves coming off a sluggish loss. Let’s see what they’re made of – 8:11 PM

In the Warriors’ road loss against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, Steph Curry recorded his ninth career triple-double. Here’s a look at some of the stats and highlights. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/01/12/sta…8:00 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
That’s a 37-21 first quarter for the Bucks over the Warriors, which follows a 29-18 fourth quarter from the Grizzlies over the Warriors in Memphis the other night. Warriors have other quarters of 17, 18, 18 and 15 points the last five games. Offense in a funk. – 8:00 PM

Starting lineups for tonight’s game:
Wolves: DLo, Pat Bev, Edwards, Vanderbilt, Edwards

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Should be an interesting test for the Grizzlies with the Mavericks on deck for tomorrow.
Can’t take Minnesota lightly. – 7:57 PM
Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Here are your starters for Grizz-T’Wolves as Memphis goes for its 11th straight win. MINN: Edwards, Jarred Vanderbilt, Karl-Anthony Towns, Patrick Beverley, D’Angelo Russell. Grizz start: JJJ, Ja, Bane, Ziaire Williams and Kyle Anderson. – 7:53 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
The Grizzlies nailed a marketing masterpiece when they allowed young fans to trade in opposing jerseys on Thursday.
First in line, an 11-year-old from Benton, Arkansas, ready to fork over Curry for Morant.
The scene: “I’m sorry, Zion, but you got to go.”

No Steven Adams today. Acting coach Darko Rajakovic said that right now he is trying to get his conditioning back and they’re hoping to have him soon. – 7:01 PM

My @PrizePicks for Wolves-Grizzlies
DLo over 17.5 points
– Over last 3 games: 13/24 from 3, 12/17 from 2
Beverley over 9.5 points
– off minutes restriction
KAT under 5 made FTs
– A floor-spacing matchup
Ja under 7.0 assists
– feels high + PatBev/McDaniels to guard him – 6:55 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Pregame Ty Lue in New Orleans
– Watch transition defense (Pelicans outscored Timberwolves 28-8 on fast break Tuesday, have outscored Clippers 37-17)
– Watch Jonas Valanciunas 3s (12/15 in 2 games vs Clippers, 8 3s made since December 1)
– Same active roster from Tuesday pic.twitter.com/Um2Pqrdpoe6:51 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Chris Finch says Patrick Beverley will be back to his normal compliment of minutes, after being on a minute-restriction last game.
Finch says this will help them fill in for the Jaylen Nowell backup minutes at PG. Probably more of a Beverley-Russell stagger. – 6:40 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Chris Finch says Memphis Grizzlies are “arguably the best team in the league right now, certainly with the way they’ve been playing.” – 6:36 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
That’s it for pregame with Grizzlies Acting Head Coach Darko Rajakovic. @PAKA_FLOCKA will be with you the rest of the way this evening. Until next time Grizzlies fans, @JoeMullinax signing off.

Coach says that Steven Adams is working on conditioning and will be back soon. – 6:24 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
Coach is here. He says that Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the most versatile players in the league and it’s going to take a team effort to try to slow him down. The team is not worried about a let down because they remember the blowout loss to Minnesota last game they played. – 6:22 PM

Catching up on Saint Joseph’s Jordan Hall, nation’s only player averaging 15-5-5 with 2 3PTM. Surpassed last season’s 3PT total last night after hitting three of them vs RI (17, 10, 7 ASTs, 4 STLs). On scouts’ radar with Kyle Anderson-like size/slow-mo speed/versatility. pic.twitter.com/gsP2Zdqg8D3:00 PM

📅 On this day in 2020, the @Oklahoma City Thunder‘s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists in a win over the Timberwolves.
At the time, he was the youngest player in NBA history to record at least 20p/20r/10a in a game, a distinction now held by Luka Doncic. pic.twitter.com/zsH088eE712:01 PM
