Grizzlies and Raptors Face Off North of the Border
The Memphis Grizzlies take on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday night.

The Grizzlies (10-10) check into Tuesday's contest with a relatively poor track record of late, having dropped three of their past five games. However, one of their two successes during that span came their last time on the court, as they throttled the Sacramento Kings by a 128-101 score Sunday evening. Dillon Brooks paced the Grizzlies with 21 points, complementing them with six rebounds, one assist and two steals. Desmond Bane delivered 18 points, five boards, two assists and one block. Jaren Jackson registered 17 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. Brandon Clarke posted 15 points, six rebounds, one assist and one block. De'Anthony Melton totaled 14 points, five rebounds and four assists.

The Grizzlies will list Ziaire Williams (knee) as questionable for Tuesday's game, while Ja Morant (knee) will remain out.

The Raptors (9-12) have been in even worse recent shape than their opponent, as they'll come into Tuesday's game having lost six of their past eight contests. Their most recent stumble came Sunday evening, when they fell to the Boston Celtics by a 109-97 score. Fred VanVleet paced the Raptors with 27 points, supplementing them with six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Scottie Barnes delivered 21 points, seven boards, three assists, two steals and one block. Pascal Siakam finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Svi Myhailiuk supplied 12 points, eight boards, two assists, two steals and one block.

The Raptors will list Gary Trent (calf) as questionable for Tuesday's contest. Goran Dragic (personal), OG Anunoby (hip) and Khem Birch (knee) will remain out.

Tuesday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Raptors hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 126-113 win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
