Grizzlies Look To Bounce Back At Home
The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Indiana Pacers at FedEx Forum on Sunday evening.

The Grizzlies (26-24) have won six of their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss in their most recent outing. This marks their first game of a three-game home stand, where they look to build on their, 12-14, home record. Ja Morant continues to lead the Grizzlies, averaging 19.0 points, 7.4 assists and 3.5 rebounds, in 32 minutes per game. Jonas Valanciunas is averaging 16.4 points and 12.5 rebounds, while Kyle Anderson is averaging 12.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game. The Grizzlies do a great job on the defensive end, as they are averaging a league-high 9.5 steals per game. On the offensive end, they average 11.0 three-pointers per game, which is sixth fewest in the league.

Meanwhile, the Pacers (24-27) have won their last two games but are, 5-5, in their last 10 games. They will look to keep rolling and add to their, 15-12, road record, as they face the second and final game of a road trip. Myles Turner (ankle) has missed the last two games and remains questionable for action on Sunday. Domantas Sabonis is coming off a strong double-double in the Pacers' most recent contest, as he continues to lead the team, averaging 19.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.2 steals, in 36 minutes per game. Malcolm Brogdon is also a leader for the Pacers, averaging 21.0 points, 5.8 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals, while T.J. McConnell continues to play well, averaging 11.1 points, 7.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals, over the last 10 games. The Pacers have not been great on the defensive end, as they are allowing opponents to shoot an average of 47.0 percent from the field, which is ninth highest in the league. They also could improve on their rebounding, as they average 41.8 rebounds per game, which is second-fewest in the league.
