Grizzlies vs Pelicans live score updates, highlights: Memphis begins five-game road trip

Things move fast in the NBA.

Less than 24 hours after a record-setting 155-point performance against the Toronto Raptors, the Memphis Grizzlies are back in action on Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

This matchup is the first of fives games on a West coast road trip.

The Pelicans (5-26) have the worst record in the Western Conference. Injuries to All-Stars Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson have limited the team after a season of high expectations. ‘

Things are going in the other direction for Memphis (21-10). The Grizzlies have been one of the NBA’s best teams due to a deep team that has the league’s highest scoring bench unit.

That depth will be tested again on Friday. Santi Aldama, who left Thursday’s game in the first quarter, is out against New Orleans. He has been one of the NBA’s top reserves and a Sixth Man of the Year candidate.

Marcus Smart also remains out due to a right index finger injury. Grizzlies center Jay Huff is listed as questionable due to an ankle injury. His potential return could help the frontcourt depth without Aldama.

This is the second meeting between the Grizzlies and Pelicans this season. Memphis won the first meeting 120-109 in November.
