The Memphis Grizzlies will host the Brooklyn Nets at FedEx Forum on Wednesday night. The last time the two teams faced off, the Grizzlies won 118-104, thanks to strong performances from Ja Morant and Desmond Bane.

The Nets are starting a two-game road trip. Kyrie Irving's availability and Kevin Durant's good form should stand them in good stead. Two-time NBA champion Durant has accumulated 75 points in the Nets' last two wins.

The Nets (38-34) are eighth in the East as they try to stay in contention for the playoffs via the play-in tournament. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are second in the West, nine games behind the league-leading Phoenix Suns (58-14). The Grizzlies will look to win and get a series victory over the Nets.
