The Philadelphia 76ers (27-21, 6th in the Eastern Conference) take on the Los Angeles Clippers (23-25, 9th in the Western Conference) in an interconference matchup on Monday night. The Sixers are riding a three-game winning streak but face challenges with Paul George’s 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy. The Clippers, winners of five straight at home, look to extend their momentum after a defensive masterclass in Phoenix. This is the second meeting this season, with Philadelphia winning the first 110-108 on November 17, 2025, at home.

Venue Location

Intuit Dome, Inglewood, California.

Tipoff is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. PT).

The game will be broadcast on Peacock, NBCS-PH, and FanDuel Sports Network SoCal, with radio on KLAC 570 AM and WIP 94.1 FM.

Injury Report

Philadelphia is dealing with George’s lengthy absence, while Los Angeles misses Harden for personal reasons.

Embiid is expected to play after a 40-point outing, but his minutes may be managed.

For the Clippers, Harden’s absence shifts playmaking to Norman Powell or others, while Beal’s season-long absence thins the guard depth.

Key

Player Matchups

Philadelphia’s size advantage inside could exploit LA’s frontcourt, but the Clippers’ perimeter defense remains stout. Projected starting lineups (based on recent rotations and injuries):

Key matchups to watch:

Joel Embiid vs. Ivica Zubac: Embiid (26.2 PPG, 11.2 RPG) is on a tear with 29+ points in seven straight, projecting for 32 points and 12 rebounds. Zubac (12.8 PPG, 10.4 RPG) grabbed 20 rebounds recently but struggles against elite bigs like Embiid.

Tyrese Maxey vs. Terance Mann: Maxey (25.4 PPG, 5.8 APG) exploded for 40 points recently and could exploit Harden’s absence. Mann’s defense is solid, but Maxey projects for 28 points and 6 assists.

Kelly Oubre Jr. vs. Kawhi Leonard: Leonard (27.7 PPG) leads LA in scoring and is healthy, projecting 26 points. Oubre (15.6 PPG) must contain him, but Leonard’s mid-range game gives the edge.

Overall: 76ers’ rebounding vs. Clippers’ defense: Philadelphia ranks high in rebounds (46.2 per game), but LA allows just 109.3 PPG recently. Expect a low-scoring battle with turnovers key.

The Minnesota Timberwolves head to Memphis for a rematch against the Grizzlies just two days after dominating them 131-114 on January 31. The Wolves, sitting fifth in the Western Conference, look to extend their strong recent play against a struggling Grizzlies squad hampered by injuries and riding a six-game losing streak. This matchup pits Minnesota’s balanced attack against Memphis’ depleted roster, with the Wolves favored to handle business on the road.

Venue Location

FedExForum
191 Beale Street
Memphis, TN 38103 The arena, home to the Grizzlies since 2004, seats approximately 18,119 fans and is known for its energetic atmosphere, though Memphis has struggled at home this season with a 9-15 record.

Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 PM CT (7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT)
TV: Peacock, FanDuel Sports Network – North This game marks the third meeting between the teams this season, with the series tied 1-1 heading in.

Injury Report

Both teams are dealing with key absences, but Memphis is hit particularly hard, missing several starters and rotation players.

Minnesota Timberwolves:

Anthony Edwards (G): Questionable – Back spasms

Julius Randle (F): Questionable – Left thumb soreness

Terrence Shannon Jr. (G): Out – Left foot abductor hallucis strain

Enrique Freeman (F): Out – G League (two-way)

Rocco Zikarsky (C): Out – G League (two-way)

Memphis Grizzlies:

Ja Morant (G): Out – Left elbow UCL sprain

Jaren Jackson Jr. (F): Questionable – Left quad contusion

Santi Aldama (F): Out – Right knee injury management

Brandon Clarke (F): Out – Right calf strain

Zach Edey (C): Out – Left ankle stress reaction

John Konchar (G): Out – Anterior triangle contusion

Scotty Pippen Jr. (G): Out – Left great toe surgery recovery

The Grizzlies’ frontcourt is decimated without Aldama, Clarke, Edey, and potentially Jackson Jr., leaving them vulnerable inside. Edwards and Randle’s questionable tags add uncertainty for Minnesota, but both played in the January 31 win.

Key

Player Matchups and Key Battles

Projected starting lineups based on recent games and injury adjustments:

Minnesota Timberwolves:

PG: Donte DiVincenzo

SG: Anthony Edwards

SF: Jaden McDaniels

PF: Julius Randle

C: Rudy Gobert

Memphis Grizzlies:

PG: Cedric Coward

SG: Ty Jerome

SF: Jaylen Wells

PF: Vince Williams Jr.

C: Jock Landale

Key battles to watch:

Anthony Edwards vs. Ty Jerome: Edwards exploded for 33 points in the January 31 matchup and averages 29.4 PPG this season. Jerome, stepping up with 20 PPG recently, will have his hands full defending Edwards’ athleticism and scoring versatility. If Edwards sits, DiVincenzo could see more usage.

Rudy Gobert vs. Jock Landale: Gobert, a rebounding machine at 12.5 RPG, should dominate the depleted Grizzlies frontcourt. Landale lacks the size and strength to contain Gobert, who projects for a double-double (13.5+ rebounds expected).

Julius Randle vs. Vince Williams Jr.: Randle’s physicality (22.3 PPG, 5.4 APG) could overwhelm Williams, especially if Jackson Jr. is out. This matchup favors Minnesota’s spacing and ball movement.

Bench Impact: Cam Spencer (Grizzlies) vs. Naz Reid (Timberwolves): Spencer has emerged with 10.5+ points potential, but Reid’s versatility off the bench gives Minnesota an edge in second-unit scoring.

The Wolves’ depth and size advantage should shine, particularly if Memphis’ injuries force reliance on role players like Coward and Wells.

Recent Team Forms

Minnesota Timberwolves (Last 10 Games): The Wolves are 7-3 in their last 10, including a 131-114 win over Memphis on January 31. They’ve won four straight, showcasing strong offense (averaging 119.4 PPG in recent matchups) and defense, holding opponents under 110 in three of those wins.

Memphis Grizzlies (Last 10 Games): The Grizzlies are 2-8 in their last 10, on a six-game skid, and have lost by double digits in four of those. Their offense has sputtered without key players, averaging just 110.4 PPG recently.

Minnesota’s form gives them a clear edge.

Series History

All-time: Minnesota leads 59-55 (114 games). This season: Tied 1-1.  December 17, 2025: Grizzlies 116-110 @ Timberwolves (Jackson Jr. 28 PTS for MEM; Randle 21 PTS for MIN)  January 31, 2026: Timberwolves 131-114 @ Grizzlies (Edwards 33 PTS for MIN; Jerome 20 PTS for MEM) Minnesota is 6-4 in the last 10 head-to-head, averaging 117.4 PPG.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (31-19, 3rd in the Western Conference) take on the Memphis Grizzlies (18-29, 12th in the Western Conference) in a Western Conference matchup on Monday night. This is the second straight game between the teams at FedExForum, with Minnesota looking to extend its winning streak after a dominant victory on Saturday. The Timberwolves aim for a season sweep, while the shorthanded Grizzlies hope to snap a six-game skid.

Venue Location

FedExForum, Memphis, Tennessee.

Injury Report

Memphis continues to battle a lengthy injury list, severely impacting their depth, while Minnesota has key players questionable.

Minnesota’s offense could be affected if Edwards and Randle sit, shifting more load to Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid.

For Memphis, Jackson’s potential return is crucial, but without Morant and others, Ty Jerome and Cedric Coward will handle heavy minutes.

Key

Player Matchups

Memphis’ depleted roster gives Minnesota advantages inside and on the perimeter. Projected starting lineups (based on recent games and injuries):

Key matchups to watch:

Anthony Edwards vs. Ty Jerome: Edwards (27.1 PPG, team leader) exploded for 33 points on Saturday and projects for another big night (29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists per models). Jerome, Memphis’ makeshift PG, scored 20 in the last game but lacks Edwards’ explosiveness.

Rudy Gobert vs. Jaren Jackson Jr.: Gobert (12.4 PPG, 11.8 RPG) dominated the boards with 16 rebounds last time. Jackson (if active, 20 PPG projection) is Memphis’ top scorer, but his quad injury could limit mobility against Gobert’s rim protection.

Julius Randle vs. Vince Williams Jr.: Randle (23.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG) added 27 points and 7 assists on Saturday. Williams (defensive specialist) will try to contain him, but Randle’s versatility (projects 24 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists) gives Minnesota the edge.

Overall: Timberwolves’ defense vs. Grizzlies’ makeshift offense: Minnesota ranks top-5 in defensive rating (allowing 109.7 PPG). Memphis, without Morant, struggles to score (106.8 PPG recently) and could be exposed in transition.

Recent Team Forms

Minnesota is surging, while Memphis is in freefall amid injuries.

The New Orleans Pelicans (13-38, 14th in the Western Conference) face the Charlotte Hornets (22-28, 11th in the Eastern Conference) in an interconference matchup on Monday afternoon. The Pelicans are looking to snap a recent skid amid ongoing injury woes, while the Hornets aim to extend their impressive winning streak at home. This game marks the second meeting between the teams this season, with New Orleans seeking to complete a season sweep after a narrow victory in November.

Venue Location

Spectrum Center, Charlotte, North Carolina.

The game time was adjusted earlier than originally scheduled (from 7:00 p.m. ET) due to a winter storm in the area.

Tipoff is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. CT, 12:00 p.m. PT).

The game will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network, Gulf Coast Sports, Pelicans+, NBA League Pass, and radio stations WFNZ 92.7 FM and WWL 870 AM.

Injury Report

Both teams are dealing with absences, but Charlotte’s depth has helped them weather the storm better.

The Pelicans are notably without Murray, a key playmaker, which has hampered their offense all season.

For the Hornets, Plumlee’s absence shifts more responsibility to Moussa Diabate in the frontcourt, but Green’s potential return adds perimeter versatility.

Key

Player Matchups

This game features intriguing battles between young stars and versatile forwards. Projected starting lineups (based on recent rotations and injuries):

Key matchups to watch:

Zion Williamson vs. Miles Bridges: Williamson (21.7 PPG, team leader) is a dominant force inside, but Bridges’ athleticism and spacing could neutralize some drives. Williamson missed the first matchup, so this is a fresh test.

Trey Murphy III vs. LaMelo Ball: Murphy (21.5 PPG) will handle point duties with Murray out, facing Ball’s explosive scoring (21 PPG projection) and playmaking (9 APG projection). Ball’s speed could exploit New Orleans’ 28th-ranked defense.

Saddiq Bey vs. Brandon Miller: Bey has led the Pelicans in scoring in four of their last six games (recent high of 34 points), but Miller (20.8 PPG, Hornets’ leader) is on a tear during Charlotte’s streak. This wing duel could decide perimeter shooting efficiency.

Overall: Hornets’ ball movement vs. Pelicans’ perimeter defense: Charlotte’s drive-and-kick offense thrives on quick decisions, potentially exposing New Orleans’ vulnerabilities (allowing 114.6 PPG).

Expect 11 players to score in double figures across both teams, highlighting depth.

Recent Team Forms

The Hornets are surging, while the Pelicans have shown flashes but remain inconsistent due to injuries.
