  • Rookie Cedric Coward led the Grizzlies with 21 points as Ja Morant sat with a right calf contusion.

  • Danny Wolf posted 11 points and 10 rebounds and Nolan Traore had six assists, but the Nets fell to 11-25 and dropped their third straight.
  • Porter, averaging 25.9 points, is set to return against the Mavericks, while reports continue to link teams to Porter and say Memphis is exploring Ja Morant trades ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
