Washington Wizards will take on Memphis Grizzlies on November 13 at Capital One Arena in another round of NBA action.
Washington Wizards will take on Memphis Grizzlies on November 13 at Capital One Arena in another round of NBA action. Indeed, Ja Morant and Desmond Bain – the top two players on the team – are suspect because of muscle soreness. Grizzlies supporters of the past few seasons know this is more about recovery than illness. The hope for Saturday night’s injury report was that Jaren Jackson Jr. would be listed as “in doubt.” Ahead of the season, people worried about how long Jackson would be out after undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his leg during the offseason. That uncertainty has led analysts and fans alike to place the Grizzlies in the Western Conference pecking order and predict a setback. Instead of a schedule closer to Christmas or 2023, Jaren Jackson Jr. plans to return about a week before Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies are 9-4 and third in the Western Conference. Given Jackson’s injury, the absence of Ziaire Williams, and the absence of Morant, Bain, and Dillon Brooks, this was the best scenario ever for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Anyway, the Memphis Grizzlies were wrapping up his series of the season today against the Washington Wizards after a stroll down Beale Street a week ago. For the reasons above, things are different with the Grizzlies. The same can be said for Wizards. The Wizards need Bradley and his beer back in the lineup. What can you expect from today’s match? Brooks didn’t face Beal last season due to injury, but he did have a hit in the 2020-21 season.

Beal shot 4-15 (26.7%) in 13 from the field, according to NBA match-up data. With 25 minutes played and 81.5 fractional ownership, Brooks is the leading defender. His defense has been praised by all his NBA guards for his performances. Defensive expectations for Brooks should remain unchanged and he will take strength off the hook. With Morant and Bain likely out, Brooks will be given a more offensive assignment, so there should be more sparks in this matchup. Which Dillon Brooks do we see at this point? Even with more shot attempts, will it be controlled like we’ve seen for most of the season, or will it shift to chunking?
Washington Wizards: Monte Morris, Bradley Beal, Deni Avdija, Kyle Kuzma, Kristaps Porzingis
Memphis Grizzlies: Tyus Jones, John Konchar, Dillon Brooks, Santi Aldama, Steven Adams
Washington Wizards: Bradley Beal, Johnny Davis, Isaiah Todd, Taj Gibson, Delon Wright, Jordan Schakel
Memphis Grizzlies: Desmond Bane, Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Danny Green, Kenneth Lofton Jr., Ziaire Williams
