Wouldn’t it be a loss to exchange it for Yang Hansen? The No. 11 pick scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The Grizzlies won by 25 points after a 32-point defeat.

After losing to the Heat by 32 points in the last game, the Grizzlies defeated the Pacers 128-103 back-to-back at home today, with a margin of 25 points. The Pacers, who reached the Finals last season, lost two consecutive games to the Thunder and Grizzlies when Haliburton was injured and Turner was lost.

Morant was in a sluggish state in the last game, and he still feels bad today. He only played 27 minutes, making 5 of 14 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 9 free throws, 19 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of +7.

The No. 11 pick Coward, who performed well in the first two games, had a big breakout. He came on as a substitute for 24 minutes and made 9 of 13 shots, 6 of 6 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. He made no mistakes and had a plus-minus value of +36.

It is worth mentioning that the No. 11 pick originally belonged to the Trail Blazers, but the Grizzlies used the No. 16 pick + future first-round pick + two second-round picks from the Trail Blazers in exchange for the No. 11 pick, and selected Coward, while the Trail Blazers used the No. 16 pick to select Yang Hansen. If Coward really plays, the Grizzlies won't suffer. Of course, if Yang Hansen also fulfills his talent, then this is also a win-win deal.

Jaren Jackson Jr. was quite average, playing 25 minutes, 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, a plus-minus value of +6. Small, the No. 48 pick, also performed well. He played 20 minutes off the bench, making 5 of 6 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 16 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists, a plus-minus value of +18.

For the Pacers, Marcelin, who scored 36 points and 11 rebounds in the first game, still performed well. However, he exited the game early due to a leg injury and only played 28 minutes. He made 8 of 12 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He efficiently scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Siakam was quite satisfactory. He played 26 minutes, making 5 of 12 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 13 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. He did not play again in the fourth quarter. Nesmith performed well. He played 31 minutes, made 5 of 11 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points, including 11 points in the second quarter.

Toppin played 26 minutes as a substitute, making 5 of 12 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, contributing 13 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, and also made 3 turnovers. Jareth Walker felt cold. He came off the bench for 27 minutes. He made only 2 of 13 shots and 2 of 8 three-pointers. He only scored 6 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
