Grizzlies host Suns with ping-pong balls at stake
Feb. 27, 2018 8:01 PM ET
The Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies hook up in Memphis on Wednesday night in a game that could have major implications in the NBA's jostling for front-row position at this spring's draft lottery.
The Suns (18-44) and Grizzlies (18-41) were two of five teams who began play Tuesday tied for the fewest wins in the league. Orlando (18-42), Atlanta (18-43) and Sacramento (18-42) were the others.
The Suns have the second-hardest remaining schedule among the five, with their 20 remaining opponents having a cumulative .534 winning percentage. Only the Hawks (.547) have a tougher remaining slate...

We have players on the roster who surely are capable of losing it; it’s up to Triano to make sure those guys have the minutes they need to pull it off.
Troy Daniels was brilliant in crunch time against the Blazers. He has got to be in the crunch-time lineup tonight, if it comes down to that.

I don't think we lose this one. Grizzlies are full on tanking, not even playing Gasol and Tyreke at times. Although we are very capable of laying a turd on the court.
Like I've said before, I'm not going to worry about it any more. Whatever happens, happens. Just gotta hope that the lottery gods finally show favor to us miserable, #1 pick starved Suns fans.

Guess who’s in foul trouble again? Len. It’s not the Suns that haven’t given him an opportunity. He can’t stay on the court! I can’t wait for him to be gone. Trash.
