The Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans clash tonight in an NBA Cup West Group B showdown<\/b> with major playoff positioning implications for both teams. This Thanksgiving Eve matchup at the Smoothie King Center could virtually eliminate Memphis from Cup contention while bringing the Pelicans closer to play-in eligibility. Zion Williamson<\/b> leads a surging New Orleans squad looking to build momentum after snapping a devastating 9-game losing streak<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Game Time:<\/b> Wednesday, November 26 at 7:00 PM Central (8:00 PM ET)<\/b> at Smoothie King Center<\/li>\n
  • Memphis currently sits 10th in the Western Conference<\/b> with a 6-12 record<\/b>, while New Orleans is 15th at 3-15<\/b><\/li>\n
  • Grizzlies lead the season series 1-0<\/b> after a 128-122 victory on October 22<\/b> at FedExForum<\/li>\n
  • Pelicans posted a dominant 143-130 win over Chicago<\/b> on Monday with 51% shooting and 78 paint points<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    Conference Positioning on the Line Tonight<\/h2>\n

    Memphis currently sits three games ahead of New Orleans<\/b> in the Western Conference standings, occupying the 10th seed with their 6-12 record<\/b>. The Pelicans, at 3-15<\/b>, desperately need a victory to stay within striking distance of the play-in tournament. A Grizzlies loss combined with a favorable outcome elsewhere<\/b> would virtually eliminate Memphis from NBA Cup contention, forcing their focus entirely back to regular season survival.<\/p>\n

    From New Orleans’ perspective, this Thanksgiving Eve matchup represents a critical opportunity. The Pelicans have emerged from a nightmare stretch where they lost 9 consecutive games<\/b> before Monday’s stunning upset of the Bulls. Head coach James Borrego<\/b> received the game ball from his players after that victory, a sign of how desperately this turnaround matters to the locker room.<\/p>\n

    New Orleans Riding Momentum Wave After Historic Victory<\/h2>\n

    The Pelicans exploded offensively Monday night against Chicago, posting their season-high 143 points<\/b> in a 143-130 demolition<\/b> of the Bulls. New Orleans shot 51% from the field and grabbed 19 offensive rebounds<\/b>, a season-best mark. The team posted career-best performances in all four quarters<\/b>, including a 37-point first quarter<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Zion Williamson<\/b> led the charge with 29 points on 13 free throws<\/b>, while Saddiq Bey<\/b> added a double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds<\/b>. Interim head coach James Borrego<\/b> implemented a lineup change for the second half, starting Jose Alvarado and Yves Missi<\/b> in place of Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen<\/b>. The adjustment paid immediate dividends, with both players recording season-highs in minutes played.<\/p>\n

    Memphis Dealing With Significant Injury Concerns Before Crucial Game<\/h2>\n

    The Grizzlies face a mounting injury crisis heading into tonight’s showdown. Star point guard Ja Morant<\/b> remains sidelined with a calf injury<\/b>, while Jaren Jackson Jr.<\/b> just returned from an ankle ailment. Most concerning is rookie center Zach Edey<\/b>, who exited Monday’s loss to Denver with a head injury<\/b> after taking an elbow from Nikola Jokic<\/b> in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

    Edey’s absence significantly impacts their defensive presence. The 15-rebound performance<\/b> against Dallas in their previous two-game winning streak showcased his value. Reserve Jock Landale<\/b> stepped up admirably once Edey left Monday, posting a career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds<\/b> against the Nuggets. The Grizzlies’ defense ranked 18th<\/b> in points allowed per possession, with Edey’s interior dominance playing a crucial role in that standing.<\/p>\n

    Why Tonight’s Result Matters Beyond the Court?<\/h2>\n

    For Memphis, a loss combined with favorable results elsewhere would effectively end their NBA Cup journey heading into November’s final days. The tournament ends November 28, leaving the Grizzlies no margin for error. Meanwhile, New Orleans has already been mathematically eliminated from Cup contention after their third group-stage loss, but the confidence gained from Monday’s dominant victory could fuel their playoff push starting Friday.<\/p>\n

    The Pelicans can cut Memphis’ divisional lead to two games<\/b> with tonight’s home victory. In a brutal season, any positive development provides momentum for the locker room and fan base. Borrego’s early success<\/b> at the helm suggests New Orleans may finally be finding its footing after an abysmal start to 2025-26<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \n“You couldn’t ask for a better team win when you look at the stat sheet. These guys have gone through a lot. You want some validation for all the work you put in, and it’s hard to see progress when you’re not getting wins.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
