What to Know

Memphis is 2-6 against Chicago since December of 2015, but they'll have a chance to close the gap on Friday. They will face off against one another at 8 p.m. ET at FedExForum. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close contest.

Memphis had to start their season on the road on Wednesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. In a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 45 turnovers, Miami took down the Grizzlies 120-101. One thing holding the Grizzlies back was the mediocre play of PG Ja Morant, who did not have his best game; he finished with 14 points and turned the ball over six times in his 25 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, with Chicago's effective field goal percentage at 50.95% and Charlotte's at 64.20%, it's no surprise who came out ahead on Wednesday --although it was closer than that difference would suggest. Chicago needed just one more bucket to secure the win, but they couldn't get it done before the clock hit zeroes and lost 126-125. If they were hoping to take revenge for the 125-118 defeat against Charlotte the last time the teams met in February, then they were left disappointed.

With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games, they will no doubt be looking to produce a better outcome in this one. Two last-season offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Memphis was worst when it came to points per game last year, with the team coming up with only 103.5 on average. Chicago experienced some offensive struggles of their own as they ranked fourth worst with respect to points per game last season, where the squad accrued only 104.9 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
