Atlanta Hawks v Memphis Grizzlies
2021-22 NBA Regular Season
Saturday 19 March 2022
State Farm Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
Tip-off at 01:30 CAT
The Memphis Grizzlies will look to take another step towards the
playoffs when they battle the Atlanta Hawks at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on the morning of Saturday, March 19.
The Grizzlies are second in the Western Conference standings with a record of 48-22 and they'll be hoping to join the Phoenix Suns, who have already clinched a playoff spot.
Taylor Jenkins' team recorded a fourth straight win when they routed the Indiana Pacers 135-102 in Indianapolis on Wednesday, with 21 points coming from Desmond Bane.

Commenting on their display, Tyus Jones - who registered 10 assists - said: "We shared the ball. We played fast. We played with pace. We played unselfish basketball.
"Instead taking a good shot, we created for someone else to have a great, wide-open shot. We had everything clicking on both ends of the floor."
The ninth-placed Hawks have an outside chance of reaching the playoffs, but they will need a strong finish to the Regular Season to catch the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Trae Young was on fire for the second game in a row as he notched 46 points in 122-113 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers in Atlanta on Tuesday, having scored 47 points against the Indiana Pacers the night before.
"He's a guy who is going to establish the tempo for us," Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said of the point guard. "He's done a good job of that in these last few games, playing faster and looking to attack and really be aggressive."
The Hawks will be hoping for a better all-round performance on this occasion after losing 132-100 to the Grizzlies in Memphis on November 26 despite a 31-point game from Young.
