KEY GAME INFORMATION
MEMPHIS: LAST SEASON: 33-49, finished tied for 12th in Western Conference.
COACH: Taylor Jenkins (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: F/C Jaren Jackson Jr. (13.8 ppg), G Ja Morant (rookie), C Jonas Valanciunas (15.6), G/F Dillon Brooks (7.5), F Jae Crowder (11.9).
KEY LOSSES: G Mike Conley, G Jevon Carter, G Delon Wright.
KEY ADDITIONS: Morant, G Grayson Allen, F Brandon Clarke, Crowder, G Marko Guduric, F Solomon Hill, G Tyus Jones, G/F Jon Konchar, G De'Anthony Melton, C Miles Plumlee.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Jackson is fully recovered from the bruised right quadriceps muscle that limited his rookie season to 58 games, and the No. 4 pick overall in 2018 has even grown a little bit. Morant played his way into the No. 2 draft pick overall in June, and now the 6-3 guard will get to showcase his speed, passing skills and court vision surrounded by players closer to his talent level than he did in college at Murray State. Valanciunas earned an extension from Memphis and now must prove he can keep producing double-doubles regularly.
OUTLOOK: Marc Gasol and Conley both are gone, and it's up to Jackson and Morant to lead this rebuilding process for Memphis after the Grizzlies revamped the roster as much as possible in one offseason. This season may not be pretty at times, but at least the Grizzlies have hope for the future based on a duo they hope will become big stars. The franchise just may have to wait a couple seasons or more for a return to the postseason.
TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 58-24, won NBA Finals.
COACH: Nick Nurse (second season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Kyle Lowry (14.2 ppg, 8.7 apg), G Norman Powell (8.6 ppg), F OG Anunoby (7.0 ppg), F Pascal Siakam (16.9 ppg), C Marc Gasol (15.7 ppg, 8.6 rpg).
KEY LOSSES: F Kawhi Leonard, G Danny Green
KEY ADDITIONS: F Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, F Stanley Johnson, G Matt Thomas
PLAYERS TO WATCH: A runaway winner of the NBA's Most Improved Player Award last season, Siakam doesn't look likely to rest on his laurels. Nurse said he's seen more maturity and calmness in Siakam this fall, something new for a player whose game was previously all about speed and energy. Thomas has never played in the NBA, but the former Iowa State star shot 48.1% (116 for 241) from 3-point range in helping Spain's Valencia Basket capture the 2019 EuroCup title.
OUTLOOK: The defending champions lost their best player when Leonard left for the Clippers, and took another hit when Green signed with the Lakers. While those departures may have dimmed Toronto's hopes of repeating, the Raptors aren't lottery-bound either. Lowry has made five straight All-Star teams, Gasol is a defensive force in the paint, and there's talent on the bench in guard Fred VanVleet and big man Serge Ibaka. Expect the Raptors to earn a top-four seed in a balanced Eastern Conference.

Because of this information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game.

PREVIEW
Raptors present another tough challenge for Grizzlies
 

The Memphis Grizzlies embark on a rough stretch of games to close out the NBA regular season when they take on the Toronto Raptors in the NBA bubble on Sunday afternoon near Orlando.

Memphis (33-37) begins play Sunday clinging to the No. 8 playoff position in the Western Conference, but with five teams still in hot pursuit. Four of the five -- Portland, San Antonio, New Orleans and Sacramento -- also play Sunday on a day that could see significant shuffling in the Western race.

The Grizzlies already have clinched no worse than a spot in the NBA's new play-in tournament. They need to retain the No. 8 spot in the standings to gain a huge advantage once the clubs reach that stage.

In order to hold its position, Memphis must also deal with Boston and Milwaukee to close out the regular season.

The Grizzlies snapped a four-game losing streak in the bubble with a much needed 121-92 thumping of Oklahoma City on Friday. Jonas Valanciunas led the way with a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double, while Dillon Brooks had a team-high 22 points and Ja Morant scored 19.

Three reserves also scored in double figures in the type of effort coach Taylor Jenkins hopes is contagious.

"It was great, the energy on the floor," he told reporters afterward. "You could see the energy on the bench. Naturally happens when you're winning, but we just got to harness that again."

The Grizzlies have had to overcome the emotional downer of losing standout forward Jaren Jackson Jr. for the season with a knee injury.

Morant has been unable to take up the slack, averaging 19.4 points but shooting just 39.8 percent overall and 21.4 percent on 3-pointers since the restart.

The Grizzlies might catch a break since the Raptors (49-19) have little at stake. They stand second in the East and need just one win in their last four games or one Boston loss in its last three in order to clinch the No. 2 seeding.

The Celtics play the Orlando Magic on Sunday.

Toronto had a chance to lock up the second seed on Friday, but suffered its first loss at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex, trailing by as many as 40 before falling 122-100 to the Celtics. The Raptors had won seven straight bridging the four-month break.

Defense was the issue in the loss to Boston. Toronto had held its first three opponents since the restart to 103 points or fewer, including two of three under 100.

The Raptors' offense couldn't keep up the pace, with standout Pascal Siakam held to 11 points on 5-for-15 shooting.

"Some nights they just don't go in," Raptors coach Nick Nurse told reporters about Siakam's off night. "And then for the rest of it, nobody else was picking up the slack."

Fred VanVleet has been Toronto's leading scorer in the restart, averaging 20.8 points.

The Raptors take on the East's top team, Milwaukee, on the second day of a back-to-back Monday.

Toronto and Memphis have not met previously this season.
