Ja Morant notoriously grew up as a Houston Rockets fan. Could he possibly go a little easy on his favorite team tonight?
It’s unlikely. If anything, Morant will probably have a little extra pep in his step in the arena he grew up fantasizing about playing in.
Either way, Morant would have to have a pretty off night for his Grizzlies to drop this contest against the Rockets. At 43-21, the Grizzlies are this year’s Cinderella story. They’re a surprisingly stout third in the Western Conference.
If you’re reading this, you probably know the Rockets haven’t fared as well.
