The FedExForum has given the Memphis Grizzlies one of the best homecourt advantages in the NBA this season.

The Grizzlies (45-27) have the best home record in the NBA and have won 10 straight games at home. They will put that streak to the test against the Houston Rockets again on Friday night (7 p.m.).

Memphis defeated Houston 130-125 on Wednesday night in Ja Morant's first game with the team since March 3. Jaren Jackson Jr. was the star of the night with a season-high 37 points.

Wednesday was the first time in Morant's four-year NBA career that he came off the bench. Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins didn't shut down the idea of bringing Morant off the bench again on Friday, but he was adamant that Morant will rejoin the starting lineup soon.

Dillon Brooks is also expected to be back in the starting lineup after missing Monday's game due to serving a one-game suspension after picking up his 18th technical foul.

The Rockets had a lot of success on offense with their guards creating dribble penetration and taking comfortable shots. Jalen Green scored 32 points on 10-for-18 shooting in the last meeting. He will likely be Brooks' primary defensive assignment.

The Grizzlies have won eight of their last nine meetings against Houston, including the last four games.
