The Grizzlies host the Hornets Wednesday (7 p.m., Fox Sports Southeast) in a great glimpse of the NBA's future at point guard with Ja Morant and LaMelo Ball.
Morant is the NBA's reigning Rookie of the Year. Ball, the No. 3 pick in last fall's draft, is averaging 22.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists in five games since moving into the starting lineup.
The matchup will be a nice subplot as the Grizzlies (9-10) look to end a four-game losing streak. They defeated the Hornets (12-13) on the road on Jan.
