Time: 10 p.m. EST

Coverage: NBATV
The Grizzlies earned a day of rest, as their game Monday went to double overtime in Denver. Without both Dillon Brooks and Jonas Valanciunas, they gave a great effort, but they could slow Nikola Jokic in the end. Ja Morant played a team-high 45 minutes, so he may still have a little fatigue in his legs. Still, Awesemo is projecting him for over 33 minutes and nearly 20 points, leading the team. Brooks is questionable to return to the Grizzlies rotation tonight, while Valanciunas has already been ruled out again. Xavier Tillman started in his place and performed well, putting up an 18-point, 14-rebound double-double. Awesemo is projecting Tillman to not complete the double-double tonight.
The Clippers received a bit of surprising news prior to last game. After Kawhi Leonard returned the game prior and looked good, he apparently had a setback. Now he will be out several games. They still pulled together and got the 1-point victory over the Trail Blazers after Paul George hit two clutch free throws in the final seconds. Due to this being the second leg of a back-to-back, there is a real possibility that George will not be in the lineup tonight. He has not played in a back-to-back since March. With that said, Awesemo is currently projecting George for nearly 36 minutes. Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson are the only other two players projected north of 30 minutes, and both are also projected to score about 15 points.
Neither game in this series has been close thus far, with the Grizzlies winning the first game by 28 points then the Clippers winning the previous matchup by 20.

Grizzlies vs. Clippers Prediction
Both teams are down arguably their most important player, so this game really comes down to George. If he is active, the Clippers should cover. However, the current spread is pointing to him sitting. With this being the case, the Grizzlies will have the more talented group. Picking a team following a double overtime loss is dangerous, but so is picking a team with a rest disadvantage. So let’s roll with the Grizzlies to get the road win over a George-less Clippers squad.
Prediction: Grizzlies +1.5
