Will Memphis open roadie in Big Easy with Big Edey?
The Memphis Grizzlies (6-12) visit the New Orleans Pelicans (3-15) in a Southwest Division matchup to open a four-game road trip with the big theme revolving around the availability of 7-foot-4 center Zach Edey. Edey remained questionable on Wednesday morning after exiting Monday’s loss to the Denver Nuggets due to a head injury.
This is the second of four matchups between these teams, who will also square off on Jan. 23 and Jan. 30 to close out the season series. Memphis won the season opener for both teams 128-122 on Oct. 22 behind 35 points from Ja Morant, who remains sidelined. The Pelicans lost their first six games and own the worst record in the Western Conference.
Memphis swept all four of last season’s meetings between these teams, having last lost to the Pels on Feb. 12, 2024. The Grizzlies have a four-game win streak in New Orleans, but three of the last five matchups at Smoothie King Center have gone to OT. Zion Williamson led the Pels with 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the season-opening loss, where Memphis pulled within 43-44 all-time during the regular season against New Orleans. The last time this series was tied was 2006, when the Pels were playing games in Oklahoma City following Hurricane Katrina.

Pelicans coach James Borrego on starting reserves to open the second half in Monday’s 143-130 win vs. the Bulls: “I thought Jose (Alvarado) and Yves (Missi) had some juice in the first half and I was gonna roll with it into the second half. Those guys responded… It thought we had a good third quarter.”
