Wizards Hoping To Take Advantage Of Short Handed Grizzlies
The Wizards are set for their home opener of the season tonight. This game is a game that everyone on the team was looking forward to and even the fans too. However, no one was looking forward to this game more than Tyus Jones. He has been heavily depended upon during his time and tenure in Memphis with the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies felt like Jones wasn’t enough so they moved on from him. Tyus Jones will play with something to prove. This will be a game to watch tonight from Capital One Arena.

Santi Aldama: Day-To-Day (Ankle)

Ja Morant: OUT (Suspension)
The Bottom Line
The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the better teams in the NBA. Depending on the status of Ja Morant once he returns from suspension will determine if they’re a championship contender. Although being one of the deeper teams in the league now, the Grizzlies are still trying to find themselves and figure out their identity without their leader in Ja Morant. The Grizzlies will also be without one of the best centers in the league in Steven Adams as he is out for the season due to injury. Now that the Memphis Grizzlies are 0-2, the Washington Wizards being a team with no expectations have a really good chance at pulling off the upset especially since this is their home opener.
