The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Brooklyn Nets, at FedEx Forum on Sunday evening.

The Grizzlies (0-2) have dropped their first two games of the season, as they fell short in their season opener in Miami and then again in their home opener against the Bulls on Friday night. Jaren Jackson Jr. has been the Grizzlies' top performer so far, averaging 20 points, seven rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. Ja Morant has looked good in his first two NBA starts, with 14 points in his first contest and 10 in his second. Morant tallied nine assists over his first two games, but has 10 turnovers in comparison. Jonas Valanciunas tallied a double-double in the Grizzlies' contest but was quiet on Friday night. The Grizzlies need to reestablish their defensive identity, as they gave up 110 points in their first game and 120 points in their second outing. They will also need to pick up their three-point shooting which has struggled so far.

Meanwhile, the Nets (1-1) are coming off a hard-fought home win over the Knicks on Friday, where Kyrie Irving came up big in the final minute to secure the win. Irving finished with 26 points on 8-of-19 shooting, five assists, three steals and two rebounds in the win. Irving has had a stellar start with the Nets, with a 50-point performance in his first contest followed by a clutch job in his second. Caris LeVert has looked good so far, with 20 points, five rebounds and four assists in the Nets' first game and 12 points and four assists on Friday. Taurean Prince has looked good in his first two games with the team and has scored in double digits in both outing and already tallied one double-double. The Nets have shot 47 percent from the field in both of their contests so far and have tallied a total of 40 assists over the two contests.
