This will be the final meeting of the season between the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and the Grizzlies. Its not that daunting of a match-up, though, as the Grizzlies have won two of the previous three meetings this season, the last of which was a shellacking on their home floor. It will be key for the Grizzlies to get Rudy Gay going as they will need his perimeter offense all night long without O.J. Mayo being available off the bench.
