The New Orleans Pelicans have undergone a chaotic few days, but they're back on the court with a chance to right the ship on Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies in their second NBA Cup meeting.

The Pelicans have beaten the Grizzlies once already this season. They were actually the first to take Memphis down after a 6-0 start, and the Grizzlies have actually been cold now at 7-4. Of course, New Orleans is downtrodden right now as well.

Can they slow down Isaiah Stewart?

The Grizzlies will be without Edey in this game, which would normally sound like a break for the Pelicans, but Edey struggled in their last meeting. It was Isaiah Stewart off the bench who was a game-changer. Stewart had an efficient 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks. He was a +9 in a game that went to overtime.
