Orlando will be at home, but Charlotte's better, and definitely *playing* better. I like the Hornets. Also think Clippers with Kawhi and Warriors with Curry are probably better than the Suns, but let's see what those teams look like tonight.

With Phoenix and Orlando both losing the first play-in, Grizzlies will have two chances on Friday for their second 1st rounder to move up a couple spots, with a chance for more with lottery luck.

Herrington: As Grizzlies begin new build, should Zach Kleiman lead it? A Memphis Grizzlies rebuild is underway. Some fans think embarking on this rebuild is premature. Some wonder if Zach Kleiman’s the right person to lead it.

With this loss, Grizzlies' worst-case scenario, pre-lottery, will be tied for 7th, where odds would be evenly spit and random drawing would decide placement. Best-case is all alone in 6th slot.

Not saying that Grizzlies game was a good watch, but it's nice to see Coward force the issue and work on his shot creation. 27 points on 17 shots, in 22 minutes. More of that would have made the season's final two months more tolerable.
