It was a hard-fought contest, but Charlotte took a 114-106 defeat against Philadelphia on Sunday for its third straight loss.

On Monday, Memphis narrowly escaped with a victory as it outlasted San Antonio 113-109. It was the Grizzlies' first road victory in four attempts. Jaren Jackson Jr. looked sharp as he had 24 points and five assists in addition to six rebounds. In addition, Ja Morant is leading all NBA rookies and the Grizzlies in scoring with 17.8 points per game. However, Morant has scored just eight and nine points in his past two games.
Charlotte has allowed its opponents to shoot 48.9 percent from the floor on average, which is the second highest shooting percentage allowed in the league.
