Pelicans vs. Grizzlies Game Info
New Orleans Pelicans (11-15, 4-10 Away) vs. Memphis Grizzlies (11-11, 4-7 Home)
Date: Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: STAPLES Center — Los Angeles, CA
Coverage: TNT
The Pelicans are on a three-game skid, giving up over 120 points in all three games. These were also not respectable losses, as they faced the Bulls, Mavericks and Pistons. Defense is clearly this team’s weakness, as they rank as the third-worst team in defensive efficiency (113.1). The team is led by Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, who averaged 25.4 and 24.9 points, respectively, during the month of February. They will need to stop up in a big way tonight, as there are clear doubts that they can stop anyone from scoring.
The Grizzlies are losers of three of their last five games, which includes the previously mentioned matchup against the Pelicans. Memphis ranks tied for 10th in the league in defensive efficiency (108.3). Their weakness has been on the offensive end, where they rank just 19th in offensive efficiency (108.6). However, some of this may be due to all of the injuries they have dealt with to key players. They have averaged 116.2 points in their last five games. While Memphis lost three of these games, they still averaged 5 points more than their season average. Guards De’Anthony Melton and Desmond Bane will again be out for the Grizzlies tonight.
