Match Preview: Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves
The Memphis Grizzlies will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on 21st April 2022, in what will be the 3rd game of their ongoing series in the 1st round of the Western Conference Playoffs.
Currently, the series is leveled up at 1-1, with both Memphis and Minnesota sharing the honors at Memphis’ home court. Now the focus shifts onto the Wolves, as the next two games are played at their home court.
Grizzlies:
| PLAYER | POSITION | UPDATED | INJURY | INJURY STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Santi Aldama | PF | Wed, Apr 20 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least Apr 23 |
| Killian Tillie | PF | Mon, Apr 18 | Knee | Expected to be out until at least Apr 29 |
Wolves:
KAT will be required to have a big game here if the Wolves want to win this game against a hungry Grizzlies team, who want to win this game desperately.
JA Morant stepped up big time in the last game and led his team to a big win to level up the series. Once again, he will be required to do the same.
This will be a tough contest between two teams hungry for a win, but the Grizzlies might edge this one out to take a game away from home just like the Wolves did.
