The Memphis Grizzlies look for a 2-0 start at home as they host the Miami Heat on Friday night, with star Ja Morant questionable to play due to an ankle injury.
How to Watch Heat vs Grizzlies
Morant went for 35 points on Wednesday night as the Grizzlies came back from a double-digit first-half deficit with a 41-point third quarter before holding off the visiting New Orleans Pelicans for a 128-122 win. Jaren Jackson Jr. added 18 points and six blocked shots, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 15 in his Memphis debut. He is also questionable for Friday night with an ankle while the club is still without Brandon Clarke (knee), Zach Edey (ankle), Ty Jerome (calf), and Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe).
After a winless preseason, Miami dropped its opener on the road on Wednesday night in a 125-121 decision against the Orlando Magic. Norman Powell had a strong debut for the Heat with 28 points, while Andrew Wiggins added 18 and Davion Mitchell finished with 16 points and 12 assists. Tyler Herro is still recovering from surgery on his left ankle, while first-round pick Kasparas Jakucionis (groin) is still out. The team also lost veteran guard Terry Rozier indefinitely after his arrest on Thursday morning on gambling charges.
Both teams were No. 8 seeds in last season's playoffs, with the Heat getting swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round while Memphis experienced the same fate at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
