You can set the records aside tonight, because neither team really reflects their record thanks to a butcher’s bill of injuries. We all know Pondexter, Gordon, and Evans are done, along with Dejean-Jones who is less central to the team’s identity, plus Ajinca, Babbitt, and Cole at least teetering on the edge of playing and not playing. The Grizzlies are with Gasol for sure, and perhaps with Conley and Randolph also missing tonight, which would be their top 3 players in terms of minutes played and just being top players. They will also have Andersen and Wright in-and-out, have missed Adams all season, and just waived Chalmers (whom they received in a trade earlier this season that sent Jarnell Stokes to the Heat).
