The Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies are fighting for the Western Conference's final playoff spot on Friday night, as the teams meet in the FedEx Forum for the second time this week. Dallas beat the Sacramento Kings to get here, while the Grizzlies lost a close one against the Golden State Warriors.

In his free time, he enjoys skateboarding (poorly), listening to the likes of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and D’Angelo, and penning short journal entries.

Grizzlies interim coach Tuomas Iisalo said that Morant would be a game-time decision. He was listed as questionable on the injury report leading up to the game. Morant's availability is a huge development for the Grizzlies. He has been playing his best basketball of the season in the past two months.
