New Orleans comes to town on the heels of a 123-119 overtime victory against Utah Monday night. CJ McCollum poured in 45 in the win. The Pelicans were to play Wednesday at home against Milwaukee…but got snowed out. Memphis has won five straight following Wednesday night’s 132-120 win against Charlotte.

We've got another exciting Western Conference contest on Friday's NBA schedule as the Memphis Grizzlies will host the New Orleans Pelicans. Memphis is 29-15 overall and 17-5 at home, while New Orleans is 12-32 overall and 4-16 on the road.

A fast-paced matchup does no good for Zach Edey's production, and we also expect the lack of playing time to factor into the rookie big man failing to eclipse tonight's points total.
