Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies host the Chicago Bulls to start the second week of the NBA season.
The Memphis Grizzlies (2-1) start this four game home stand with their best overall win of the season. It is early, but hanging 124 points on the tough Orlando Magic defense with six players in double-figures showed flashes of how good Memphis can be this season. They take on the Chicago Bulls (1-2) who are looking to bounce back after their second loss of the season. This season Memphis is looking to get back to the success and trajectory the team had just two seasons ago as one of the contenders in the Western Conference led by Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane. Through three games Morant has shown All-Star flashes again, but more importantly Memphis has depth and balance that very few teams have displayed early in the season.
