San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies: Key matchups

De'Aaron Fox vs Desmond Bane

De'Aaron Fox is still getting acclimated to his new environment in San Antonio after coming over via a trade involving the Sacramento Kings. In the 10 games that he's played for his new team, Fox is averaging 19.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.8 assists.

Desmond Bane has spent all five seasons of his NBA career with the Grizzlies. This season, Bane is putting up 18.2 points per game on 49% shooting from the field.

Harrison Barnes vs Jaren Jackson Jr.

Though Jaren Jackson is a proven commodity on defense, his offensive skill set bears similarity with that of Barnes, as they're both stretch forwards who lure their big defenders out on the perimeter. Notably, Harrison Barnes (41.4% off 4.0 attempts per game) has a better outside shooting percentage than JJJ (35.8% off 5.2 attempts per game).

Chris Paul vs Ja Morant

In this matchup of court generals, Ja Morant has a clear advantage in speed and athleticism. Chris Paul, however, remains one of the most cerebral minds in the sport today. Both point guards will want to set the tone and dictate a pace that they'd be comfortable with.
