How to Watch Grizzlies-Pelicans Game On Tuesday
Ja Morant and Zion Williamson are two of the most athletic, must-see type of players in the NBA right now and they will meet on Tuesday night when the Memphis Grizzlies go on the road to take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
Tying their franchise record for wins in a season a year ago, the Grizzlies are once again a top-tier team in the Western Conference not only thanks to Morant, but thanks to Desmond Bane as well.
In his third NBA season, Bane is really making a strong case to keep the league’s Most Improved Player award in Memphis, following in Morant’s footsteps from a season ago.
With Jaren Jackson Jr. on the mend and set to return soon as well, the Grizzlies will once again be a tough team to defeat night-in and night-out this season.
As for the New Orleans Pelicans, they are a young team themselves led by a strong cast of stars. CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson are one of the best scoring trios in the entire NBA and when at full-strength, they have some of the best depth in the league.
However, New Orleans has proven to be inconsistent at times, something that may ultimately hold them back against some of the better teams in the NBA.
Will the Pelicans improve to 4-2 on their home floor or will Memphis come into town and pick up yet another quality road win this season?
Here is how to watch Tuesday night’s game with gametimes and TV, lineups, bios and other must-know details.
