Memphis Grizzlies score vs. Los Angeles Clippers: Live updates

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks doesn't believe the way the Los Angeles Clippers shot the ball on Wednesday is sustainable. Ja Morant seemed as if he wanted to agree when asked by reporters, but he "plead the fifth" since he wants to be more humble in his interviews.

The Clippers won Wednesday's offensive showdown, 141-132, at FedEx Forum, but both teams were missing star players that could return for tonight's game (7 p.m. CT, Bally Sports).

Memphis (49-28) will get back Desmond Bane, Tyus Jones and Jaren Jackson Jr. Each player missed Wednesday while dealing with soreness. Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was a late scratch for Wednesday's game due to personal reasons. He's listed as questionable.

The Clippers (41-36) have won the first two meetings this season against the Grizzlies, but beating Memphis twice at FedExForum is a feat that hasn't been accomplished this season.

Getting Jackson back will help a Grizzlies defense that gave up 36 points to Russell Westbrook on 13-for-18 shooting. Westbrook made all five of his 3-pointers, and the Clippers made 22 as a team. Having Jackson back will allow Grizzlies defenders to close out faster on 3-pointers, knowing that the NBA's leading shot-blocker is behind them.

Bane, Jackson and Jones should also help take the offensive load off of Morant. He scored 36 points on Wednesday against the Clippers, but shot 11-for-28 and had eight turnovers.
