Part of Memphis' struggles have come from their poor injury luck, especially as star point guard Ja Morant has already missed 17 games this season. Thankfully, the Grizzlies are finally getting their two-time All-Star back on the court.

In an important matchup between top-three teams in the West standings, the Rockets are slight favorites at Memphis (+1.5). Ja Morant is questionable.

Ja Morant might return from injury, and Rockets center Steven Adams will play in Memphis for the first time since the Grizzlies traded him last February.

The Rockets are currently 11-5 on the road with a point differential of +3.2, while the Grizzlies have a 9-1 record in their last ten games at home.
