Jaren Jackson Jr. and the Memphis Grizzlies (47-22) will take on Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers (23-46) in part of the NBA Tuesday slate.
It’s rare for the Pacers to hold a losing record at home, but they’ve been among the league’s worst teams this season. The Grizzlies, even likely being without Ja Morant, will look to take care of business in this one.
No team is perfect, but a recent letdown 123-112 loss to the Houston Rockets surely will have the Grizzlies ready to compete to avoid another outcome of the kind. They are 4-1 in their last five with all of those games coming against teams with losing records.
The focus for the Pacers in the stretch run of the season is on the development of Tyrese Haliburton. He was acquired in the Domantas Sabonis trade and is averaging 19.6 points and 9.5 assists since the trade.
