There’s still plenty of heat in this rivalry, with both teams keeping their cores together amid dramatic roster changes happening around them, and the Clippers will be projected in a tier above the Grizzlies, giving the home team a boost of underdog energy. 4): Many of the most memorable games at FedExForum over the past several seasons, both regular-season and playoff, have included the dread Clippers, with the team’s last visit resulting in Zach Randolph’s lone career triple double.

Can rookie shooter Buddy Hield give them a boost? Memphis gets an early look at a potential division rival. 2): Anthony Davis is one of the best young players in the game, but New Orleans seems like they’re being passed by Minnesota as the West’s potential Next Big Thing. tip overlaps with a Sunday night NFL game between the Eagles and Cowboys, so if you’re among the too many unfortunate souls in Memphis who is a Dallas Cowboys fan, dock this a star. Wall’s a big, athletic guard who’s historically been a tough match-up for Conley and this will be the Wizards’ only appearance in town. 30): If Mike Conley’s new contract is going to put a target on his back, one player likely to be aiming for the bull’s eye is John Wall, a contender (with Toronto’s Kyle Lowry and Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving) for the mantle of best point guard in the East. An early chance for each to mark its territory. The Wolves are perhaps the conference’s most talented young team and are trying to break a 12-year playoff drought. Overall, the Grizzlies are trying to maintain their standing as a Western Conference playoff team for the seventh straight season. On the sidelines, this game will feature two coaches making debuts with their new teams in the Grizzlies’ David Fizdale and the Wolves’ Tom Thibodeau, who was perhaps the most high-profile coaching hire of the summer. The Grizzlies are concerned about their depth at point guard, and this will be tested immediately by a Wolves team that’s three-deep with quality (Ricky Rubio, Tyus Jones, Kris Dunn) at the position. But KAT will be a big test for Gasol in Big Spain’s first regular-season game back from injury. 26): Opening night is always one of the sure-shots, but while this match-up isn’t as starry as (but will hopefully be more competitive than) last season’s Cleveland tipoff, there are still plenty of bonus match-ups and storylines: Second-year Wolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns might be the best young big man in the game, the inheritor of Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, and he’s said Marc Gasol was his toughest match-up during his rookie season.

But there are 40 other regular-season games at FedExForum to consider. The headline in Memphis was the absence of a true MLK Day game, which I wrote about here. The NBA released its league-wide schedule last Thursday afternoon.
