HIGHLIGHTS: Grizzlies vs Pelicans – NBA seeding games 2020
Zion Williamson and Ja Morant engage in another showdown between Rookie of the Year candidates as the Pelicans face the Grizzlies

Super rookie versus super rookie.

Zion Williamson and Ja Morant engage in another showdown between Rookie of the Year candidates as the New Orleans Pelicans face the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, August 3 (Tuesday, August 4, Manila time).

Both winless after their first two games in the NBA bubble restart, the two teams are hungry to finally crack the win column, with only one playoff berth in the Western Conference up for grabs.

The Grizzlies are primed to make the postseason at 8th place in the West with a 32-35 record, while the Pelicans are 3 spots behind at 11th place with a 28-38 slate.

Williamson, the No. 1 pick, has been playing limited minutes, and his restricted play has negatively affected the Pelicans as they narrowly lost to the Utah Jazz and got blown out by the Los Angeles Clippers.

In two bubble games, Williamson played for less than 30 minutes combined and averaged just 10.0 points and 2.5 rebounds.

Morant, meanwhile, continues to solidify his case as the favorite to win Rookie of the Year as he averages 23.5 points, 10.0 assists, and 7.0 rebounds.

The Grizzlies, though, have yet to nail that breakthrough win, losing to the Portland Blazers and the San Antonio Spurs by 5 and 2 points, respectively.

Game time is at 6:30 am.
