In their first meeting, the Grizzlies put up a fight despite missing many of their players including Ja Morant, who continues to sit out due to the Grade 2 ankle sprain he suffered a week ago.
Predictably, the Lakers were able to take advantage, walking away with a 108-94 win on the Grizzlies’ home court. When the teams meet once more, Memphis will have to keep their efforts up for 48 minutes to keep up with LA.
LA Lakers: Team News
LeBron James has been on the LA Lakers’ injury report since their opening night loss to the LA Clippers and he will be on the list again for this game.
Alex Caruso should be back from being on the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He could be a game-time decision by the coaching staff.
As for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who suffered a mild ankle sprain against the San Antonio Spurs a week ago, he is questionable to play against the Grizzlies.
He was reportedly able to practice on Monday “without any setbacks” which means there’s a possibility that Caldwell-Pope will suit up tonight.
Injured: None
Doubtful: LeBron James, Alex Caruso, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Memphis will be without leading scorer and assist man Ja Morant once again. Morant missed the last two games after suffering an ankle sprain against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
However, the Grizzlies still won two of their last three games including the one against the Nets despite the injury that Morant suffered in the second quarter.
LA Lakers: Team News
The LA Lakers have not made Alex Caruso available since being listed on the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope sprained his left ankle in the Spurs game and did not return. X-rays confirmed it was merely an ankle sprain but the Lakers are being cautious. This could cause KCP to miss the Memphis Grizzlies game as he was listed as questionable.
LeBron James leads the Lakers in points, assists, and steals this season, but he was listed as questionable due to a mild ankle sprain. He has been questionable for every game they played since opening night but James has not missed a single one. He may be a game-time decision by coach Frank Vogel.
Injured: Alex Caruso
Doubtful: LeBron James, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Suspended: None
