The first Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> regular-season game was action-packed. Memphis trailed by as many as 15 points before a 14-0 third-quarter run and a late Ja Morant basket in a 128-122 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.<\/a><\/p>\n

The clock turns fast in the NBA. Memphis must now switch its attention to the Miami Heat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miami and Memphis played on Oct. 17 in a Grizzlies preseason win, but the mentality switches for the regular season.<\/p>\n

Morant didn’t play in that preseason matchup, and his status for the Oct. 24 contest is up in the air. Morant and Grizzlies shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are both questionable due to ankle soreness.<\/a> For Morant, it’s the same left ankle that kept him out of the preseason. Caldwell-Pope is being bothered by his right ankle.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies are already without Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), Vince Williams Jr. (heel), Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee).<\/p>\n

Miami lost its season opener 125-121 against the Orlando Magic<\/a>. New shooting guard Norman Powell led the Heat with 28 points in the loss.<\/p>\n

One change the Heat made against the Magic from its preseason game against the Grizzlies was using a smaller lineup. All-Star big man Bam Adebayo played power forward and seven-footer Kel’el Ware started at center in the preseason game. Miami brought Ware off the bench and started forward Nikola Jovic against the Magic.<\/p>\n

With Memphis having depth issues in the frontcourt, matching up against Ware and Adebayo will be one of the biggest keys to the game.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies have won the last three regular-season meetings against the Heat. Miami is 30-27 all-time against Memphis.<\/p>\n
