The Bottom Line
The Memphis Grizzlies have been without their captain Ja Morant for the better part of the season now. They also have been without their co-captain in Desmond Bane too as he has been banged up. These games are the games the Wizards look forward to the most. They have aims to gaining some momentum despite being eliminated from playoff contention. To do so, they must put the ball in Tyus Jones hands. This is an important game for him as he spent a lot of his career playing for the Grizzlies. This may be a revenge game for him. He has been hot lately racking up a lot of assist in each game played. He knows how to run the offense and run it well too. The Wizards need to let him create and be creative too as the Grizzlies are a defensive minded team. It won’t be easy for them to score against their defense. They will need to knock down a good amount of threes in this game too. Deni Avdija will need to utilize his size and skillset in this game too along with Kyle Kuzma. They are the three most important Wizards in this game tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies.
