NBA Matchups: April 10

On Friday I said I was going to be a little short with a big slate, but I still went pretty nuts. Today, I just don’t have the info. Only two teams are not on a B2B, so I’m flying pretty blind on who is going to play. I could go through on who I think is likely to sit, but I’m just going to do that on the Injury Show anyway.

I am going to be on the DFS Show, so I’ll have more notes there. I just have no idea who is playing today.

MEM @ CLE | CHA @ ATL | TOR @ BKN | DAL @ MIA | ORL @ MIL | SAS @ OKC | MIN @ DEN | PHX @ LAC

Memphis Grizzlies (back end) at Cleveland Cavaliers

Team Totals: Grizzlies 95.8, Cavs 114.3

Injury Report: Grizzlies on a B2B, Sam Merrill (D, neck)

Grizzlies projected starters: Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, GG Jackson, Jake LaRavia, Trey Jemison

Cavs projected starters: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen

Jenkins quotes: Said it’s crazy that they have the record for most players on a team, said Goodwin played great for them and he’s talked about Goodwin hitting the boards, said White and Simpson have been listening to the coaches and have the effort, said GG Jackson has to focus on making an impact on defense, said GG should have a higher usage rate and they want him to have a complete attack.

Bickerstaff quotes: Said FTs hurt them, said PG took over and is a heck of a player, said they executed and came up short, said Okoro was good to start and we’ll see how they come out of it, said it was nice to see some rim pressure against the Clippers.

Motivation: Grizzlies don’t have much motivation to lose, the Cavs are highly motivated to win.

Great matchups: Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley

Good matchups: GG Jackson, Darius Garland, Max Strus

Bad matchups: Trey Jemison
