However, the Knicks defense hasn’t discouraged shooters. New York is giving up 39.5% from three - the fourth-worst rate in the league - and opponents have shot 40.6% from deep over the last five games. That could be exactly what Morant and the Grizzlies need to find some rhythm.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant won't play in the Nov. 12 matchup against the Boston Celtics due to right ankle soreness. This will be Morant's second missed game of the season. The first was Nov. 2, a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team. He was available for 11 of the Grizzlies' first 12 games.
