Memphis Grizzlies vs Toronto Raptors Preview and Prediction – November 2nd

There are eight NBA games scheduled for Sunday, with the Memphis Grizzlies visiting the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena. The Grizzlies are wrapped up in another one Already Dying problem, while the Raptors are just looking to give fans something to cheer about after the Blue Jays lost the World Series.

Memphis suspended Morant for one game, so he will miss the game against the Raptors. The All-Star's comments after his loss against the LA Lakers on Friday were deemed detrimental to the team. Morant was not happy with how coach Tuomas Iisalo has used him this season.

On the other hand, the Raptors are riding an exciting season and are coming off a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has some good pieces that could make some noise in a wide-open Eastern Conference. Brandon Ingram has looked good in Toronto, playing his first full season there.

Meanwhile, the Raptors are on the rise despite a 2-4 record nearly two weeks into the season. They have wins over the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers, which was not easy to do.
