The Grizzlies’ unbeaten road start meets a Raptors team averaging 118.2 points per game.
Memphis brings a 6-3 record and a 4-0 road mark into Monday’s game, while Toronto is 5-4 and 2-1 at home; the Grizzlies rank 10th in the power index, six spots ahead of the Raptors. Both teams average more than 117 points per game, putting Memphis guard Ty Jerome’s 213 points in eight games against Toronto’s perimeter attack in focus. RJ Barrett has 194 points for the Raptors, but Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley are questionable, and Kawhi Leonard is out. Toronto’s availability and ability to slow Memphis’ scoring will be pivotal if it wants to hand the Grizzlies their first road loss.
