Players to watch out for in Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves

DeAngelo Russell – TWolves

DLo has had a terrible series so far, and that has cost the Timberwolves. In the biggest game of their season, the point guard of the Wolves will look to put on a show and shut down his critics.

Ja Morant – Jazz

Ja will be hoping to step up big time and close out this series in game 6 itself. We saw what he did in the 4th quarter of the last game, and he will look to replicate that in game 6 as well.

The Minnesota Timberwolves might edge this one out as they are playing at home, and need to win to keep the series alive. However, this match will be a very close game till the end.
