Memphis Grizzlies (17-17) @ Utah Jazz (18-16) When: Wednesday 7th January 9:00 PM (ET) Where: Delta Center Local TV: FSO National TV: NBALP Key Stats Jazz home record: 14-3 Grizzlies road record: 6-12 Standings: Jazz 9th Western Conference (.529) Grizzlies 10th Western Conference (.500) Last met: Utah Jazz 88 @ Memphis Grizzlies 100 Probable Starters Jazz / Grizzlies PG: Carlos Arroyo / Jason Williams SG: Deshawn Stevenson / Mike Miller SF: Aleksandar Pavlovic / James Posey PF: Andrei Kirilenko / Pau Gasol C: Greg Ostertag / Lorenzen Wright Coach: Jerry Sloan / Hubie Brown Key bench players Jazz: Raul Lopez, Raja Bell, Jarron Collins Grizzlies: Stromile Swift, Bonzi Wells, Shane Battier Injuries Jazz: Curtis Borchardt, Keon Clark, Matt Harpring Grizzlies: Ryan Humphreys, Theron Smith, Troy Bell Keys to the game Jazz 1. Andrei Kirilenko. Played horribe against the Grizzlies last time, thanks to Bo Outlaw and Pau Gasol. He must play better tonight, especially with Harpring out. 2. Scoring. Utah has to score lots to win games or be forced to play good defense. Raja Bell should look to carry on his 3pt shooting after game against the Mavs. Grizzlies 1. Don't let any Jazz player get going. The Mavs did this, and Raja Bell got 25 points off the bench. Deshawn Stevenson wasn't guarded well and got 17 points and 11 rebounds. If a Jazz player really starts to feel it, watch out. 2. Defense. Utah aren't known for their scoring and will be without Matt Harpring, their leading scorer. AK47 is the next in PPG for Utah. Memphis needs to stop any Utah player score a lot. Key Matchup: PF: Andrei Kirilenko vs. Pau Gasol Prediction: Harpring's absence will be to much for Utah, and Andrei Kirilenko wont be able to step it up enough and no heroics from Raja. I don't think Utah can do what they did against the Mavs again against the Grizzlies. Grizzlies by 4.
The game has been postponed. Memphis couldn't fly out of Portland because of weather conditions. The game will be made up in April

He is Utah's leading scorer and they need him and missed him badly in the last game against Memphis. Memphis have had 2 games postponed now.
