Preview of Grizzlies vs. Pacers: In the battle of injured teams, the Grizzlies' back-to-back physical fitness is a hidden danger
6686 Sports October 25th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow morning. The Grizzlies, who played back-to-back games, will play against the Pacers at the home team court.
The Grizzlies lost to the Heat 114-146 at home this morning, and the game lost suspense early on. Only four members of the Grizzlies team scored in double figures. Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 19 points on 7 of 14 shots, Coward scored 16 points, Morant scored 12 points on 4 of 16 shots and 6 rebounds. In the last two quarters, he only made 1 of 9 shots. Aldama scored 13 points and 8 rebounds.
The Grizzlies traded away outside shooter Bane during the offseason. Although the trade brought in Pope is also a good player, his active offensive ability is worse. Bane's departure has significantly weakened the Grizzlies' outside shooting level. Huff and Kennard also left the team, the Grizzlies signed Landale and Jerome, and selected Coward in the draft.
In the first game of the season, the Pacers lost to the Thunder 135-141 after a double overtime. Marcelin contributed 36 points and 11 rebounds, Siakam had 32 points and 15 rebounds, Toppin had 20 points, Shepard had 15 points and 8 rebounds, and Jareth Walker had 13 points.
The Pacers lost Turner after losing Haliburton, and their internal and external strength was significantly reduced. To make up for the vacancy inside, the Pacers traded Huff from the Grizzlies and re-signed Wiseman, but there was no substantial reinforcement on the outside.
In terms of injuries, in addition to Haliburton, McConnell, Cam Jones, Nembhard, and Quinton Jackson will also be unable to play, and Furfei is doubtful. The Grizzlies are also full of injuries. Zach Eddy, Jerome, and Pippen Jr. are all unable to play. Vince Williams was absent from the game against the Heat. It is reported that Vince Williams' injury is not very serious, but it is not yet certain whether he can play against the Pacers.
There seems to be no obvious difference between the two teams in terms of overall strength. They are basically evenly matched. However, both teams are facing serious injury problems. The Pacers' back line no longer has enough reserves, and the Grizzlies have just experienced back-to-back defeats. The suspense of the outcome of this game may not be revealed until the last moment.
