Memphis will play without Zach Edey in New Orleans. The NBA’s injury report on Friday lists the Canadian centre out for left ankle injury management on the first night of a back-to-back, and Quinten Post is out in the concussion protocol.
The Grizzlies are 7-4 and 5-0 on the road, though they lost 123-118 at home to Denver on Wednesday. New Orleans has lost four straight, the last two by 51 points at Golden State and 34 at home to Brooklyn.

How the Grizzlies and Pelicans compare this season
League rank out of 30 on this season’s box scores (11 and 12 games). Ratings are points per 100 possessions, estimated from the box score.
Memphis ranks second in the league from three at 38.9 per cent and tenth in net rating. The Pelicans are 28th in defence, giving up 117.4 points per 100 possessions, and their opponents post a 57.1 per cent effective field-goal rate.
With both of its centres out, Memphis has to hold up against Zion Williamson at the rim, where New Orleans takes 40 per cent of its shots. The Grizzlies take only 22 per cent of theirs there and live on jumpers. Losing Edey should cost them more on defence than in attack.

Score prediction
Grizzlies 120-113 Pelicans. The Grizzlies are winning road games by 11.2 points on average, and the Pelicans are 3-4 at home. We have Memphis by seven.
Grizzlies vs Pelicans prediction
The Canadian books make Memphis about a 59 per cent chance, and the net ratings are 12.7 points apart.
Memphis has won by four or more in six of its 11 games, and with Murphy out and Mathurin questionable, New Orleans is short of wings, so we would lay the 3.5.
Our pick: the Grizzlies to win and cover −3.5. Our margin is seven, double the spread at three books.
What would change it: if Murphy were cleared to play, we would drop the spread and keep the Grizzlies on the moneyline.
